I have received dozens of communications from users of my challenge checker scripts indicating that there is a problem with the criteria for an individual cache. In 99% of cases, it turns out that someone else created a tag for my checker that doesn't comply with the cache requirements. It's not very clear in the challenge checker description who to contact if there's a problem with the checker, which is probably why so many of these people are contacting me instead of the person who created the tag. If I were reading the desription below, I would probably click on the first provided name as well: I propose a change to the checker description that would look something like this: Script name: Number of caches with word in the title Script author: GentlePurpleRain (Contact this person if there are errors in the script itself) Tagged by: -DOLFINANDO- (Contact this person if there are errors with the challenge criteria) /forum/read.php?9,1901,1901#msg-1901 Mon, 18 May 2026 01:01:17 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 /forum/read.php?9,1901,2053#msg-2053 /forum/read.php?9,1901,2053#msg-2053
Until we are there, we should consider to change the design. A first step could potentially be to just change the order of Tagged by and Script owner. Potentially it might affect some Javascripts, so we have to test it a bit.]]> magma1447 Miscellaneous Tue, 05 Jul 2016 10:00:40 +0000 /forum/read.php?9,1901,1940#msg-1940 /forum/read.php?9,1901,1940#msg-1940 Target.
