CacheVote FAQ
I used gcVote, can I transfer the ratings?
Yes, it's easy to do this with just a few clicks. To do so, you simply have to fill out the appropriate form in the settings. All you need is your gcVote user credentials.
Click here to go to the form.
Importing is only possible once per account and your CacheVote account must already be enabled.

Which data is saved/transferred?
Registration stores the geocaching.com username (=CacheVote username), GC member ID, CacheVote password, and email address. This is necessary to differentiate between different users. The email address is required to reset the password if it is forgotten.
When rating a cache, the GC username, rating, time, and GC ID are stored.
Your data will not be passed on without explicit permission! Of course, this also applies to your ratings - they are only available to you.
Here you can find more information about privacy.

Can unfound caches be rated?
In order to be able to give an objective and fair raiting, you must have found the cache (or at least completed the majority of multis). For poor ratings without an associated log, there is a suspicion of a revenge. I ask you to refrain from this and only leave a rating if a corresponding log has been entered.
I changed my name on Geocaching.com and now CacheVote doesn't work anymore.
CacheVote assigned the ratings to you by your geocaching name. That's why you need to change your name on CacheVote, too. You can easily do this here under “Change name”.
cacheVote prompts me to log in, but then says I'm already logged in.
This happes if you recently changed your password. In most cases, it should be sufficient to reload the geocache page. If this does not work, you can manually delete the password in the settings and log in again.

When registering, the message “There is already a User with your Geocaching ID registered.” shows.
This means that there is already a CacheVote account is associated with your geocaching account. If you have changed your geocaching name, you do not need to create a new account (see above).
If you forgot your password, you can reset it here. However, if you really don't have an account yet, please contact me here (point “I have a question”).

Are there any connections to other programs?
Currently, CacheVote can only be used on the PC in the broser. However, connections to other programmes are planned and partly already in development.
Requests for further connections can be suggested here.

Why it takes so long to fix a bug?
CacheVote is a project that I develop in my spare time. Please understand that sometimes the development can take a little longer.
I found an error. I have a suggestion for improvement.
