I'm no longer seeing profile stats from Project GC in my public profile or in my friends profile on either of our laptops in Google Chrome. It shows up fine using Firefox on the same laptops and on Chrome on my phone. Still using the same code under "Bio" on gc.com and it was working last time I'd looked at it. Anyone else seeing this issue?

I can see it on your profile. I'm looking with Chrome 53.0.2785.143

If you open the developer tools (F12) and reload, does it show any errors?
There are a couple errors and warnings, this one stands out:
VM10498:7 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.geocaching.com/profile/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://project-gc.com/favicon.ico'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

I'm not seeing PGC profile info on two different laptops with 2 different OS's with Chrome, I'm on Version 54.0.2840.71 m (64-bit)
favicon shouldn't cause it to not load I wouldn't think - that's just for the icon that shows up in your tab list.
Yeah, I don't know what's causing it, strange seeing the same thing on different devices with Chrome but I can see the stats fine on the same machines with Firefox. Maybe something with the latest Chrome version...

Using a chromium based browser I experienced the same issue.

Loading the profile page via https://www.geocaching.com/profile/ showed no Bio information at all including the PGC Profile Stats.

Then I removed the 's' from https and even though the site redirected me back to https automatically, this time the Bio information was loaded correctly. Maybe you could try it yourself: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/

I don't know if it would help if PGC serve its sites via https or if it is a Chrome bug.

Good to know I'm not the only one seeing it, guess a lot of folks don't look at their public profile much, I stumbled on it myself. I've been filling a lot of Challenge caches and when telling someone my stats for certain qualifications are in my public profile they may not be seeing them depending on their browser.
Hello !

may be not only a Chrome bug : i've got the same issue on Safari (and Chrome too).
It seems this is an issue with more than just PGC stats, ran across this in the gc.com forum:

Unfortunately I don't see any real root cause there either.
