Is there a delay in archived caches being reflected in Project GC

Question

I was looking at some caches on a PGC Virtual GPS list that I have and noticed that they are listed as active (Archive column shows 0), however the caches have been archived. I thought it might be a day or two timing, however the caches were archived close to a month ago and are still showing as active.

Is this normal behaviour? Do I need to do something to my list to refresh the archive status, or is there a usual timeframe by which archived caches are updated.

The examples are GC86VF8 (archived on 3 Dec 24) and GC91DAD (archived on 25 Nov 24).  Also GC9DW3T was archived in Oct 24.

Thanks

Caches that is not logged does not normally refresh as often as caches with more activity. If you have a list here on project gc all you have to do is a build  ( export / build gpx) and set the slider refresh caches older than nnn days).

Thanks for this, I never knew about this option. I usually download the list as a csv, which doesn’t offer any refresh options.

Am I correct in saying that I will need to us the extract a gpx in order to refresh the data, and then I can go back and download the csv once this is completed?

Is there any way of having the refresh options available for a csv file also?

Thanks again.

After the data is refreshed to generate the gpx, your list should reflect the new status.
As far as I am aware this is the only effective way to make sure the caches on a list is updated accurately.

I only use the gpx files myself so I hadn't even noticed that a refresh was not available for csv.
