I'm trying to do a map compare with 4 other people. I set up the top with the other geocacher names. Then I go to add the criteria (counties, types, sizes) and after I hit submit it has reset the people I'm comparing to and only keeps the first person added. I have to go back in and add the additional people again to get the compare to work as needed. 

As I'm attempting to do this again to document this for this post, now its not working at all. Even when I don't change the geocaching criteria in the second section and I go add the geocachers back and hit submit, its removing everyone but the first person I added sad

Could you tell me the names of the players and which filters you are trying to use?

I tried it just now with myself and some friends' names, and was not able to reproduce the behaviour you are describing.
I put in myself (javthrowr) compared against P98, OrigamiFolder, kcsmiths, & DrPowercat.
Found by no player and Treat owned geocaches as finds
Location - United States, Kansas, in counties Johnson, Miami & Wyandotte

Then I click Submit. When it comes up with the map, only P98 is showing in the "Filters (Player)" section.

This is one of the geocaches that shows up on the map - GC9J8GB and DrPowercat has found it. The list/map also includes a bunch of geocaches placed by DrPowercat (ex. GCA0QYT) and the "Treat owned geocaches as finds" is checked. When I rearrange the geocacher names I get the same results. I have the most up to date google chrome, it just updated yesterday - Version 143.0.7499.193 (Official Build) (64-bit)

I wish I could submit images, I would show you and it would be easier. But below is the link in my bar, but its just not working even tho all the details appear to be there :-(  and this is one of my favorite tools, so I'm not a new user.

Thank you for the link; I see now what you are seeing. Does this link work?

It sounds the bug might be with how we handle multiple names. The URL is supposed to have "[]" or "%5B%5D" after each instance of "player_prc_profileName2" in the URL, but the two you posted don't (specifically, i both links you posted, "P98" is missing this). It seems strange that you are seeing this despite using a modern browser, but I will look into it.
Okay, I can now reproduce it. This is a very strange bug.
Yes, your link works correctly and I'm seeing expected results. I'm adding the names via the box to add names, so its weird that its not adding correctly. Will it get into a bug queue to be fixed?
Yes. This is a high-priority fix, just behind issues with the new release of Profile stats.
We have fixed this in code. We expect it to be released shortly.
