when you do qualify list lostcheq the checker is fine. But when you don't, such as myself, the message you get is:
You have not found the phrase ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ in single day.

I suggest that the checker instead display the results of your best day towards meeting the qualifications.

I suppose such a change is technically possible, but I'm not sure how it would help. It's not like you can "continue next year".

But before you close it, can you see why my partner Czecshun doesn't qualify because he checked his bookmark list and he says he qualifies with 26 finds on 2/24/2014. this is what prompted my request in the first place.

I did some research and I see he did not find a W that day. But he says he did and it was this one.... https://coord.info/GC4NV29 A Boy Scout's Journey. Is there any way to tell if the CO changed the cache name from Wheel See to what is now?

Unfortunately, not to my knowledge.

I believe my guess is correct because I see a log from 12/19/2013 that says:
i didn't see the wheel the first time...

Casebook example of why challenges based on cache names or CO names are no longer allowed.

Is that why? People can change the D/T, size, attributes... even the placed date, all of which are frequently used in challenges.

I can confirm that that cache changed its name from Wheel See to the current name (via a third name), with the initial W disappearing 2018-06-01.
