Change History
Moderators will move threads from "Checker requests" into this forum after a while when it has been decided that the challenge checker isn't possible for one or another reason. The threads should not be moved right away. The challenge owner should have a chance to adjust his requirements if that helps.

improvement request: grandfathered GC44WX1 checker by jpavlik: show what you're missing for remaining types
re: [url=https://project-gc.com/Challenges//19691]https://project-gc.com/Challenges//19691[/url] (checker for [url=https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC44WX1]OCCT - You Chose It Challenge - With a Twist[/url]
The grandfathered challenge (as we all know, this sort of challenge is not allowed for new caches) wants you to spell your geocaching name five times, once each with finds of a different type. So, your caching name spelled out in trads, your name spelled out in multis, etc.
But - the checker output shows only the cache types you've *completed*. My request (to @jpavlik, if available): please modify the output to show which letters the cacher has/still needs for the other types. Otherwise, how do we know which starts-with caches to go find in order to qualify?
Thanks.
