I love AQ’s “note” feature

One of my favourite features on AQ is the “Create Note” feature on all letterbox clues. There are so many ways to use it.

My finds (and potential finds):

• I always send a public comment but sometimes the owner doesn’t make it public – I put my message in the box’s note field
• Sometimes it’s necessary to answer questions in order to find a box, I’ll put the answer(s) in the box’s note field. The note field with the answers prints off with the clues. Very handy.
• When I figure out the starting location to find the box, I’ll put the address/location in the box’s note field
• Sometimes one needs to contact a planter to get the clues emailed to you. When I get the clues, I copy and paste them into the box’s note field
• When I drop off someone’s HH/Flea I use the note field to remind myself where I placed it.

• If someone sends me a private message after they find my letterbox, I’ll copy and paste it into the letterbox’s note field.
• When people let me know where my HHs/Fleas was placed (which I really appreciate) I put the location and date in my HH’s note field
• Record answers and passwords to my ecoscavengers
• Record answers and passwords to my virtuals

I posted a question on the AQ boards to see how others use the note field and here are some other ideas:

• If I know something about a box that isn’t in the clues, for example, if somebody posts on a board that they know it’s missing, but don’t update the clues. [TrailTroll]
• I record answers to Personal Travelers b/f going to events. When you print the PT list, the answers print too. [zess the treehuggers]
• I note solutions to puzzle boxes that I know I won’t be able to get to for a while, but I have already solved. [Where'sWendy]
• A lot of my clues involve getting dates/numbers off of a gravestone, landmark, etc. These numbers are manipulated to get compass readings, steps….These numbers aren’t included IN the clues, the finder has to fill in the blanks. I now write these numbers down in my notes, so that I can recreate the clues for myself. [BirdWoman/WP]
