Uh oh... Premium member only caches now useless?

Oh dear :o
Premium member only caches are now visible to THE WORLD on the
GEOCACHING MAP - I was scanning the map without logging in, and
spotted every premium cache was shown. You could zoom right down
into each, pin-pointing their location. When you click on them,
however, Groundspeak ask you to become a PM member... They only
keep the cache pages secret then..
WHAT :o The only reason I made any of my caches PM only were so
that muggles and land owners couldn't see where they were
located - I think serval of us have done the same, after a
certain night cache incident in the area :D
I think premium member only caches are now useless - people can
find them without a hint! Landowners can get their locations to
contact Groundspeak (or worse)...What is this all about! They're
technically no longer exclusive to us premium members, either.
One of the reasons I pay for a premium membership is to access
the huge amounts of PM caches - now I may as well not bother
being a PM, as I rarely use the other PM features :-\
What do you think about this! ???

Must have been a glitch.
I've just looked. Whilst you can see the PMO caches when zoomed
out (you always could) as you zoom in they disappear.

Don't know how to :o I've used it ONCE to find a "Large" cache
nearby.
If groundspeak should be updating anything, it should be PQ to
make it more clear and user friendly - what's all that 500 cache
thing and expirations ??? - and I'm meant to be good with
computers! :D

Err, do you not download loads of caches round a centre point in
one GPX download ???
I use them constantly but then again, I don't have a smart phone
with constant Internet access on it :(

O my god Griff, I remember those days years ago, a right pain

There is a video on geocaching How to Create a PQ

Perhaps Griff you should watch this, it is only 8:26 long.
