+scooterbuddies Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) I have tried to use the online form to register my first "hide" but it keeps rejecting because the date format is incorrect although I am just ticking on the calendar provided for the date placed. Anyone have any ideas? Edited October 24, 2016 by scooterbuddies Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Might be an i18n fail. Try changing your settings temporarily to US-everything. (Or specifically, Account Settings / Preferences / Date Format, try something that might be typical in USA.) Edited October 24, 2016 by Viajero Perdido Quote Link to comment

+scooterbuddies Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Sorry Pub, it was like Viajero said the date format was wrong. I first thought Viajero meant change the date format in my computer settings but it was the settings in my geocaching account that were wrong. Changed these and hey presto all systems go. Thank you all x Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I realized you might've thought I meant the system settings, so I edited the note to clarify I meant the settings on the website. Glad you got it sorted. Quote Link to comment
+scooterbuddies Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yes so sorry all I can say on my defence is that I am nearly 70 years old and not very computer savvy. Thank you so much 😌 Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Don't blame yourself. It should've just worked! Quote Link to comment
