The Achiever not showing leap day find

Question

I've logged a challenge cache (or actually 2) on leap day this year. Both of these caches were logged with a "write note" before. Now, although I would expect to see that, I don't see the leap day badge showing up on "The Achiever" in Badgegen. Is there a reason for this? Is this expected behaviour as the challenges were logged with a "write note" before, or could this be an error? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Your Achiever badge is still at Platinum level. You need to get it up to gemstone levels before addons will come.

Good spot, I didn't think to check stats.  Yes, that's exactly the reason why.

Ah, that's it! I keep on forgetting that gemstone levels are needed to see addons. Somehow that requirement doesn't "stick" very well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Sumbloke!

Answer 2

If you edited your existing note to make it a found instead, then I would guess that it just takes a long time for Project-GC to detect the change (we won't get any notification that the edit has happened). We'll see it eventually. You can also use Support -> Self-support to request a refresh for your logs which should solve the problem once your stats get regenerated the next time.

Thanks for the quick answer, pinkunicorn. I left the original "write note" logs untouched but added a "found it" log. I'll check if updating the data via Self-support or just waiting a bit longer solves the "issue".

I have had similar problems with issues like this and the solution that worked for me was to avoid editing and do the following:

1. Copy and paste the contents of the note to another word processing program (Notepad) to hold it temporarily.

2. Delete the note log.

3. Create a new Found It log.

4. Wait for a new update to occur with PGC and see if it picks up the Add-On.

5.  Create new note log and copy and paste your original log (don't forget to adjust the date back to when you first created it).

I realize this is a bit time consuming but I had to do this procedure in the past.  It worked for me.  Good luck.

P.S. BTW, this was recommended by one of our local Reviewers meaning it has credibility.
