Top most image logs doesn't bring back the correct data

Question

When I run the Statistics/Cache stats/Top most log images "script" against a bookmark list I have for some of my own caches, it's doesn't return the correct data.

First, some of my caches in my bookmark list are missing from the output and then the numbers of images it returns for some of the caches is also different than the actual number of pictures listed in the gallery of the cache on geocaching.com.  Why is that?

I've tried to figure out if there is a pattern or some sort of consistent logic or reasoning for the differences but nothing stands out.  Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.  Or is this a bug?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You have definitely found a bug. We currently have a patch in our development environment and hope to have it fixed on Live servers in an hour or two.

Woo hoo!  Tested and fixed.  Thank you for looking into it and finding (and fixing) the issue.  Please feel free to close this "ticket".

Answer 2

This FAQ seems relevant here: https://project-gc.com/Home/FAQ#2303642429

My first suggestion would be that this is the issue. If this is not it I would suggest you mention some GCcodes people can look into, examples makes it easier to try to find the issue.

Thanks for the link.  I'm not sure that explains everything that's happening here though.  If you want to recreate the issue or see what I'm using, I'm using the bookmark list filter to get data from my Olio Portfolio list (BMA4Q0D).

Here's a couple of examples of the inconsistencies I'm seeing:

For GC8ZGTK, PGC Top most image logs returns 30, but according to GC.com's gallery, there's only 28 pictures.  

For GC8ZV2Q, PGC says 9 but GC says 8.

For GC8ZME1, PGC says 6 but GC says only 5.

Where is ProjectGC getting these extra pictures from?  The rest of the differences seem to be explained by the FAQ (ie. there were images I uploaded to use in the cache description).
