Re: Checker modify

Re: GeoAddict: 365 days in a Row "Challenge"

Can you remove the type: Locationless (Reverse) Cache please ?

I have made this edit.

In the future, if you have a request to modify a tag, please just contact the tagger through the link next to the "Tagged by" line on the checker page.

Thank's I will do that in the futur. Do you have an answer for the problem I ask : why the longest streak statistic and the checker do not have the same result ?

The longest streak stat has a different value to this checker because you've specifically limited the cache types which count for this challenge. The longest streak statistic will be for any cache type.

Chausson found this cache on 8/11/2011:
Virtual Cache Welcome to KL
by TimBish | GC9FDB | Malaysia
Needs maintenance 1/1
Size: Virtual 24/10/2002 08/11/2011

Thank you for your response and for your patience. It is my first request for a checker and my lack of knowledge of checkers certainly make me asking questions that seem unnecessary.

Do you think it would be possible and not complexe to display at the end of the list of caches which do not meet the criteria. Thus, the user will know why he did not meet the criteria of the challenge if it open the cahe details ?

Thank's a lot for your work.

No, it would not be possible without significant work. Also, I don't see it being of any help to users. Of more help would probably be if you made a note near the link to the checker on the page that if the user comes up as not qualifying even though they have a longer streak it's likely to be because they used a non-qualifying cache type to maintain their streak.

Also I do not understand: On the "Chausson" Caching Chronology we see: Longest Streak 395 consecutive days with finds from 20.12.2010 to 18.1.2012 and if we look at the Logs list we see:

• Welcome to Malaysia - Petronas Towers by STRPHCJNB | GC1VQYN | Malaysia Needs maintenance 1.5/1 Size: Micro 11.7.2009 9.11.2011
• National Monument by Akakyla | GC14FC7 | Malaysia Needs maintenance 1.5/2 Size: Small 19.7.2007 7.11.2011

So can we conclude the statistics of Geocaching.com is not correct if we do not see a find on 8.11.2011 ? Have you ever see this ?

The checker does nor look for the same as the stat on gc.com
The requirement on the cache page translated by google is
"The challenge is to achieve a sequence of at least 365 consecutive days geocaching with the discovery of a cache (Earth type, Virtual, Locationless (Reverse) and Webcam excluded)."
That is not the same as the gc.com stats

They have two find on 2011-11-08 on gc.com

I refresh the cache on support/selfe support/refresh but the streak will only be 2 days longer when the only found on 2011-11-10 is an earth cache
