There appears to be a bug in the script in terms of the allowed types. I've alerted the script writer about this issue.

Here's an alternative (temporary?) checker that won't suffer from the same issue:

For Czechsun, the issue seems to be GC21QX4. Specifically, that cache is owned by "[DELETED_USER]", which returns a non-sensical cacher ID. The lookup of cacher name to display then fails.

that is very strange. I wonder why Groundspeak did that? and that begs the question, how to work around it.

NOTE: I just submitted a request for a new checker, identical to this one that gives the error. It is "Checker Request for GC8CW6X (Physical Jasmer).

In order to shorten the list of request can this thread be move to ARCHIVE Checker requests !
