Anyone have any trouble giving out their favorites? We are pretty stingy with giving them, but tonight noticed that some caches that we gave a favorite point to last week, now don't have the point. Anyone else have troubles with the favorite points sticking?

I gave one last weeks and it's there.

I had the same problem. I give out favorites and then bookmark them, and I noticed tonight I had more bookmarks than actual favorites. I re-favorited them. Kind of weird, but I saw it too.

I think I've had the same problem, but am not sure for similar reasons of uncertain memory. I'm not positive about this, but I have a theory that the favorite point is less likely to register if you do it on the screen that appears just after you submit a log. So instead of logging the favorite then, I go back to the main cache page and do it then. I think it works then more often, but I'm not sure.

The only thing the favorite points has done for me is to confirm that my opinion of what makes a good cache is way different than that of a lot of people.

I've stated my opinions on what types of caches I do and do not enjoy in plenty of other threads. Suffice it to say that I have found numerous caches with multiple favorite points that left me scratching my head and thinking, "really?".

I've found if you look up favorites in a place you're not familiar with there's a good chance they are either some sort of historical cache, or have some sort of tourist-related draw to them. One on our list is http://coord.info/GC1DC11 simply because of where it is. The favorites have a way of pointing out areas you might have wanted to see from a tourist standpoint as well, especially places like Hawaii. (But then who doesn't just want to camp out on the beach for a month there too) But then again The Armory is on our favorite list too... cause, well, it's The Armory. And I just looked, my Minneapolis AAA tourist guide doesn't have it listed anywhere, so go figure! I do like the feature, I probably just don't use it as much as I could, or I'm really picky. I'm not sure which.
