I understand the issues with including adventure lab data in reports and queries, but it would seem, since adventure lab totals are shown on the Geocaching.com cacher home page, it should not be impossible to include them in the "top finders" query.  Or, if that is not desired for some reason, to create another statistics query which does include them.  The question came to light since a cacher here in New Mexico created a "power trail" dedicated to the top cachers in the state, but the numbers (and rankings, in some cases) are off since lab cache finds are not included.  There are cachers here who have over 900 lab cache finds, while others have none.

I too would like a top finders of lab caches. Include standard filters of country, etc.

But not Adventure Labs. An Adventure Lab is just a wrapper containing (usually) 5 lab caches. There have been and may yet be (though probably not) ways of getting lab caches that do not involve Adventure Labs.

I agree too.
It would be fine to have statistic including the Adventure Labs.
In my case I've a still ongoing series of consecutive days (currently 352 days) but at the statistics it is displayed as a ended series with 189 days since there was a day with an Adventure Lab.
Since my current value of 352 days is shown at GeoCaching.com statistics I guess it would be possible (and not to difficult) to show the value in project-gc statistics too?

Totally agree.

I was also wondering, why my statistics show a series of ten consecutive days and on the other hand the statistics "lite" in the official gc app show a series of 18.

its not a big deal because i am at the beginning of the streak and I only "loose" a week, but for some challenge caches you need a screenshot e.g. from project-gc to verify that you achieved a series of a whole year.

so it would be nice if the lab caches will be tracked the same way like in the official app :)
