@freddycougar Did you have your souvenirs as "private" at Geocaching.com? Because that would get you that result.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@vogelbird That script doesn't handle Å, Ä, Ö so a big chunk of the words become impossible with that one. The script "Number of caches with word in the title with European characters (by DrAcorn)" was made to fix the issue.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Here's a checker that actually can handle Å, Ä and Ö instead of ignoring the words like "Björn" etc. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4VDWT/67795 I've thought about making this one for a while but wasn't sure how you felt about ignoring the weapon-part of the challenge and never got around to asking. :)by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I think there's a misunderstanding since area in this forum usually mean "geographic area" like state or country. :)by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@vogelbird It's a normal bingo challenge but with a "twist" of requiring multiple bingos on a very small grid, which doesn't really make sense. So OP is asking for a bingo checker for: A) Find earthcaches in at least 30 regions B) Find at least two earthcaches outside of Europe C) Find at least one earthcache at an altitude of more than 1,500m D) Find at least one eby Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@DrAcorn I think you've excluded only the new locationless caches, not the old ones? Try running "IT-gubben" through the checker, it shows lots of locationless caches.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@MNTA To get "the little button to test and release" you contact Support via the orange button available on most Project-GC-pages and ask to become a scriptwriter.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I changed the script so that it respects the color blind settings of the user, I assumed people using the color blind version of the script would be using the color blind settings of the site. The name of the challenge will not be displayed on this checker since it's not tied to a GCcode an therefor has no name, this checker has never shown the name of the challenge and therefor it is noby Pleu - Miscellaneous
There is currently a bug with the editing of older cache pages, this is something Geocaching HQ is working on fixing. I suggest not enabling the checker until the bug is fixed and you can edit the cache to add the attribute. You won't delete any finds by changing the hidden date, but you will mess up peoples stats and might have issues changing it back once the bug is removed. I suggestby Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
This is not possible, suggested way to fill that grid is to look at other peoples grid and see what challenges they have found for the challenge difficulties you're missing. It should also be noted that challenge difficulties naturally change over time since they are calculated with an algorithm based on number of logs and number of people that have completed a challenge, they will also bby Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

@LeapinGuy I don't understand what Donald Trump has to do with the issue with your challenge-idea. :)by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
I'm not sure what you mean by "The Big Lie" but I'm saying this is a setup that is very easy to abuse and people will abuse it.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
@LeapinGuy The issue is: How does one accomplish "Finding 150 caches you previously DNFed" without first accomplishing the negative criteria of "Not finding 150 caches"? It's impossible because you need to first DNF the cache to be able to use it for qualifying and the guidelines clearly states "Criteria may not be for a negative achievement such as DNF logs.".by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)

I think you need to do more testing here, the part with the "X per weekday" doesn't seem correct to me. It says "User has 1247 finds" for all weekdays for me, but that's my number for Saturdays, all others are lower than that.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
If you know somebody with checker tagging rights you can ask them nicely, this is pretty common in my area due to people being uncomfortable with English so they rather ask somebody that speaks the same language as them. Otherwise I guess you could team up with friends and "switch challenges" so that you sometimes ask in the forums for yourself, sometimes you ask in the forums for yoby Pleu - Miscellaneous
There was a problem with the site but this should be fixed now. The checker is working when I run it now. :)by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@vogelbird Appeals said it's against 10. Source of Criteria because information about what counties are connected to each other is not "information broadly available on Geocaching.com". What counts as "connected" is also something people have different opinions about.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@dahumbug The issue is the "contiguous counties"-part since this is not allowed. If you just change it to a list of the LGAs needed and have the cache page say "log a cache in each of these LGAs:" with a list of LGAs it's not a contiguous counties challenge anymore.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@vogelbird An easy way to doublecheck if locationless caches are excluded is to run the checker for magma1447, he has zero real finds in the US but has logged one of the new locationless caches and he gets credited for Washington state in this checker. Clearly the update is not working as intended.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@vogelbird None of the checkers check for this part of the description: "You must find the 1 year old cache first, then continue in order, ending with the 10 year old cache." The second checker you quoted sorts them in the order the user found the caches. Based on the cache page this should be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 but in the checker the order is 1, 5, 3, 4, 8, 2, 7, 6, 10, 9by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I'm just trying to help here. English is not my first language so if anything I've posted come across as rude that's not my intention.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I doubt this part is possible: "The catch is each of these challenges needs a different day picked, otherwise the day picked for the twelfth challenge would work for them all and be redundant." I also think you've had some miscommunications with your reviewer. There's no difference between your "new" 12th day challenge and your "old" 12th day challenge.by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
@vogelbird Or it's a user error because the cache was published nine months ago. CO could have edited it a bunch of times since then and removed the checker, by choice or by accident. :)by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
@freddycougar Did the reviewer publish this challenge even tho it's clearly against the guidelines?by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I don't see how this challenge follows this guideline: Quote9. Time-limited Specifying any element of a cache page (type, rating, etc.) or find count (above one per day) required during a streak. Bold by me. Aren't you specifying cache types here?by Pleu - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I suggest you read the challenge guidelines. These quotes are from 10. Source of Criteria.
