Great catch on excluding Locationless caches. Thank you. I never would have thought to exclude them but it makes sense. :-) I've ran the checker against some more people now. Is there a reason why the output looks different between a "completed" vs "failed" checker run? If the cacher fails to qualify, the caches are in a tab arranged table but if a cacher completby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there, thanks for all the work you've done. I've done some preliminary testing and I think I'm going to use the no countries restrictions checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCA1Z7P/72784. Please remove the other checker. I figure the no countries restriction allows all cachers a greater chance to complete this challenge, especially the non-North American cachers.

Oh, ok. If I do states and provinces only then, does that mean all states and provinces (and their equivalents) in all countries or can it be restricted to just Canada and US (including Canadian territories and US DC)? Could you please set it up with the 'provinces and states across all countries' option first (I'm assuming that includes all 3 Canadian territories and DC in theby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there, I was wondering if the checker for this challenge GCA1ETE could be cloned and one of its tags modified (hopefully I'm using the correct terms here). Instead of just the US states and DC, I'm hoping it can be opened up to also include all Canadian provinces and territories and any other countries excluding Canada and USA.

I believe this issue can be closed now as of this morning. Thank you to Hügh and olalb for looking into, finding, and fixing the issue. The new checker has been tested against the 2 profiles it failed on before and all is good now.by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Hi there - I just published a new challenge last night. The checker https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9VW4D/70496 is timing out for just one particular cacher (so far). The timer counts all the way down to zero and then crashes with no real error data. Queueing for slot, paying members are prioritized. Current position in queue: 0 Running checker, this might take up to 60 seconds. Coby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Well, that probably explains why then. Thanks. :-) I suspect most people will qualify using the row/column criteria anyways. I just wanted to verify that the diagonal criterion is working and grab a screen shot for the description if possible. But as long as you've tested it, I'm happy and I think this checker is good to go then. It seems to be working great with the row/column froby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thank you thank you thank you. I've tested it as much as I can and it appears to be working great. I don't know how you made it work from the back end but from a UI/front end POV, the output looks great with all the testing I've done so far (I maxxed out my 10 checker runs a day limit so I can't do any more testing till tomorrow now).

Hi there waterfan5. The output looks great. Thank you for putting that together. I'm torn now. I'm not sure what to do. I could change the challenge to remove the overlap requirement but I wanted the cross output/requirement because it fits with my other attributes D/T Bingo challenge, plus we have a couple of other local "cross" themed challenges in my area as well.

Hi there - I'm looking to create a challenge that merges GC9P0GZ Attributes D/T Bingo Challenge Olio #17 with GC9KZ1Y VICS: A Bingo Challenge! cache. GC9KZ1Y wants 1 row, or 1 column, or 1 diagonal of the D/T grid filled in with different cache types.

No worries. As far as I can see, everything looks good now and this checker is good to go.

Much better! Thank you for offering yourselves and other 'test' users so I can verify the output. It looks like the issues have been fixed. I see now that the "1 combos" part of the headers have disappeared so there's no more concern there. :-) And the output (pass or fail) shows all the attributes D/T grids no matter what now. That's even better for me now sincby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there - I've tested it and it's looking good. I really like how the output highlights the row/column or diagonals used to pass the challenge. So far I've only been able to test against cachers who seem to pass the checker using the row/column method though. That part seems to be working great. :-) However I can't tell if the diagonal part of the checker is working sinby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Hi there, I'm trying to get a better understanding of how one of my challenge checkers works. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8ZV2Q/57130 A cacher believes they've completed the challenge (verified manually by them) but the checker says otherwise. They suspect it's because one event is being used for the wrong "category". ie. An event attended on May 28th is bby sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thanks for replying, Pleu. As far as I know, I don't know anyone with 'tagging' rights but of course I don't even know what that means either. :-/ The local challenge cache "scene" here is limited right now (but growing) so some of your other suggestions aren't viable at this time but they may be in the future.

I don't know where else to post this question but I just wondering if there was a way to request checkers anonymously or hide them from "being public". Another cacher and I were having a discussion about whether there was any way to keep challenges a secret until the caches are published on GC.com.

I can provide you with other Fizzy attribute challenges that I've found out there which could perhaps be used as a starting point for this checker or similar challenges with output that I like the look of, too.

Hi there, I was wondering if I could get a checker built for GC9P0GZ.

Please close this checker request.

Hi there - could I please get a checker created for GC9MHDJ that looks for 2 different "vice versa either or" qualifications?

Thank you for the reply and I'll await further updates then. If it helps, I'm only really concerned about updating this challenge checker right now - https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9JYR0/64676. Is the problem that the code/logic/programming for this particular checker is used by multiple other challenges and therefore modifying it could impact many other checkers as well?by sapien - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
YES! Thank you THANK YOU! Mystery solved. I believe I've found the cache in question now thanks to that new checker. It appears there was one cache which the cacher logged twice so as a result, the https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC8ZME1/59054 checker works as designed and only used that cache for the first date it was found (which was not the Dec10th).
