Finding hidden date returns no results

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 21:20:45 +0000

I found how to look for a specific hidden date regardless of year by using the Map - Hidden Date Tool. I entered the date and my username and it said there were none. I wondered if it was looking for a cache that I had hidden on that date, so I put in a date that I knew I had hidden a cache on. Still said none found. There should be a way to find hidden dates without having to do it one year at a time.

Hello I created a cloned script and didn't copy the link. Where can I find that.

Is there a way to search challenges by difficulty rating?

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:44:22 +0000

Is there a way to search challenges by difficulty rating? It's the bold number next to the skull and crossbones on the checker page which is calculated by Project-GC. This search feature would be helpful as I would like to complete my challenge difficulty grid.

How to unhide statistics?

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 13:34:30 +0000

On my profile stats-page I get the warning "Your statistics are not visible to others!" If I expand the settings below and uncheck the checkbox "Completely hide my statistics from others" and click on "Save" nothing happens. When I refresh the page the warning is still shown and the checkbox checked again.

Why do Project-GC need access to the Gallery?

Move caches in live map to a list

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:32:34 +0000

On the 'Project-gc Live Map', I can do amazing things with filtering, zooming, &c. However, I see no way of saving the results to a list, or a gpx, or doing anything at all other than admiring the pretty colors.

There is no lasso, no button to save... Is there any way to save the displayed caches?

Twist and Shout Challenge GCABG9C checker doesn't work. Can someone fix it?

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:17:41 +0000

The checker always times out when attempting to use it.

nach welchen Kriterien wird "die höchste Fund-Prozentzahl"ausgewertet?

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 06:45:45 +0000

Die Auswertung bei der Stadt Braunschweig ergibt die gleiche Fund Prozentzahl bei

User "GeoTschorny" und User "Floh1967".

Dies, obwohl "GeoTschorny" 3 Funde mehr in Braunschweig gefunden hat.

Wie kommt dies zu stande?

Lieben Dank Andreas

Find count not updating for specific cache

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 08:33:07 +0000

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but on my finds tab, the count for one of my caches, GC7X1XH, has been incorrect for several days. It should be 187 finds, but PGC still shows it at 186. I've refreshed that cache in self support several times, done a complete refresh of all my finds, and regenerated my statistics, all without success. There don't appear to be any duplicate logs. Any reason for this?

How many active geocaches in a country, at a past date

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 03:57:47 +0000

Is there a way to check how many active geocaches there were in a country or area for a past date? Knowing that there is a way of "turning back the time" for user stats - e.g. https://project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats?llh=2025-10-30 I was wondering if there is also a way to see how many in an area at a specified date.

Landkreis Karte

Challenges im VGPS sammeln

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:39:07 +0000

Hallo zusammen,
Um signierte Challenges in eine GPX-Datei zu exportieren, habe ich mit Google folgende Möglichkeit gefunden:

Öffne die Übersichtsseite deiner signierten Challenges auf Project-GC Signed Challenges.
Setze am Tabellenkopf ganz rechts ein Häkchen, um alle Caches auszuwählen.
Der erste Punkt ist soweit klar; ich habe eine gute gefüllte Liste.
Am zweiten Punkt scheitere ich, da ich keine Möglichkeit sehe, das besagte Häkchen am Tabellenkopf zu setzen.
Was mache ich falsch?
Vielen Dank für einen Tipp.

Challenge Checkers no longer have green check mark when I qualify on geocaching webpage

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:10:35 +0000

I have the firefox browser extension added and in the menu I have "Add challenge checkers' option checked. I am no longer seeing the green check mark on the checker as I once did. Did something change or do I need to change another setting. Even after I run the checker manually and pass I still do not get the green check mark on the geocaching.com web page.

D/T matrix of a specific cache type

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:55:57 +0000

I am wondering if there is a place I can see a d/t matrix of all the caches in a specific area for a specific type of cache.

For example. I would like to see the D/T matrix for all the challenge caches in Michigan.

Is that possible?

i cloned a checker, now i can't get it to open

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:59:48 +0000

I cloned a checker from GCBPHAV for my cache GCBRM81.

I copied the tag when the popup was on the screen, but when I search for it, I can't find it.

When I cloned it, it did not have challenge anywhere in the title or on the page, but was a mystery. I have added challenge on the page and to the title. What am I doing wrong?

This is the link that I copied

/Challenges/GCBRM81/116385

Is there a tool that suggests local caches that I have not found for hidden months for jasmer

Lua Checker for distance from home coordinates

Fri, 29 May 2026 09:01:11 +0000

Hallo,

I'm looking for a Lua-Checker to create a checker for me.

The cacher had to find caches in the different distances of the geocache-statistics, to solve the Challenge.

Would someone be so kind to help me?

How do I find a filter for caches with specifik attributes?

Thu, 28 May 2026 09:16:23 +0000

I need to document how many caches with a specific attribute there are in Sweden. How can I find that number?

Map Not Found Caches does not show unfound caches

Thu, 28 May 2026 07:20:52 +0000

I have several caches in Poland that have not yet been found. I noticed that they don't appear on the "Map Not Found Caches" in Project GC. Is this a bug or is there something I overlooked? Here is the list of GC codes that I can't see on the map: GCBQGK3, GCBN15X, GCBN15X, GCBN14D, GCBN147, GCBN13N, GCBN133, GCBN133, GCBN12D, GCBN121, GCBN10Y, GCBN10Q, GCBN10D, GCBN0ZT.

Ältester Geocache im Kanton Solothurn

Sun, 17 May 2026 17:56:25 +0000

An update has removed the project-GC link that adds county info to cache pages. how do I get it back?

Wed, 13 May 2026 23:45:29 +0000

Ich habe keine Möglichkeit Checks durchzuführen, da irgend eine Einstellung gesetzt ist, welche dies unterbindet.

Sun, 10 May 2026 12:31:36 +0000

Irgendwann habe ich mal an meinem Profil etwas angepasst und mich mal durch die Einstellungen geklickt.

Irgendwie muss ich etwas aktiviert haben, dass ich mich selbst und andere Personen nicht mehr Checken kann, also so gar nicht.

In den Privatsphäre Einstellungen ist der Haken bei "Meine Statistiken vor anderen komplett verbergen" aktiviert. Diesen entferne ich und Speichere weiter unten aber die Änderung wird nicht übernommen. Der Haken bleibt.

Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl da liegt noch eine Einstellung weiter drüber, welches das erzwingt aber bisher konnte ich nicht fündig werden.

Auch die rote Meldung "Deine Statistiken sind für andere nicht sichtbar!" steht permanent da und diese bekomme ich nicht weg.

Kann hierbei jemand helfen?

Vielen Dank im Voraus:)

81er Matrix in 2 verschiedenen Ländern

Wed, 06 May 2026 20:21:58 +0000

Hallo

Ich möchte eine Challenge legen und soweit habe ich auch alles fertig. Ich benötige noch den richtigen Checker. Es soll einmal die 81er Matrix in zwei verschiedenen Ländern erfüllt sein und das mit der Matrix auch angezeigt werden.

Im Prinzip wie bei GC9EHQR nur halt für 2 Länder

Mein GC-Code ist GCBPER5

Kann mir den Checker jemand bauen?

Gruß Patrick

mindestens 10 st Caches, welche tiefer als 100 m unter Meeresspiegel

Wed, 06 May 2026 11:25:13 +0000

Ich suche einen Checker, der angibt, ob jemand min 10 st Caches geloggt hat, die mindestens 100 m unter dem Meeresspiegel liegen.

My stats are not showing correctly.

Mon, 04 May 2026 09:43:21 +0000

My most southerly is incorrect when another user checks my stats is shows correctly but on both my computer and phone I have it incorrect.

This should also give my lowest elevation as seen in a challenge check this morning

The cache that's not registering correctly is GC2PPNP

Project-gc via the macro "Geocaching.com + Project-GC" states that I have two logs registered on a cache.

Fri, 01 May 2026 14:15:14 +0000

The macro "Geocaching.com + Project-GC" tells that I have two logs on a cache thus the total number of caches differs from what GSAK reports. If I look at the cache I suspect is the cultprit I can only find one log.
However when I wrote a note to tell why I couldn't attend I managed to first post it as an attended log which I later changed to a "write note".

Is it possible fix this?

missing D/T only for separate matrices of different types, sizes, etc.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:11:39 +0000

I still see the D/T combination only for the whole matrix (showing the missing combination, which is missing from my next, 19th matrix), not just for individual cache types (EC only, virtual only, etc., separate D/T). I guess I don't understand how to do it... Example: I don't want to finish my 19th matrix, but I want to finish only my first EC matrix, or my first Large size cache matrix, or a Challenge cache matrix, etc.

Missing D/T combinations for individual geocache types

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 17:21:15 +0000

Missing D/T combinations for individual geocache types, can they be found somehow? For example, I want to complete a "clean" Matrix EC and I want to find the EC that is missing from it. Thanks.

Why doesn't the virtual GPS button show up on the 360 tool map?

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:20:46 +0000

I am an active member and have used the 360 tool to identify sectors where I need to find caches. When I select a sector on the map, I can see the available caches within that sector, but I do not see the virtual GPS icon on the map to be able to select the lasso tool. I can add caches to my active virtual GPS one at a time by clicking on the cache icon and then selecting the add to GPS icon, though that is terribly inefficient.

Has loops disappeared in the Map - D/T Matrix tool?

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:50:43 +0000

I have earlier been able to add a loop count in the Map - D/T Matrix function, but can´t find it now. Has it been removed?

This has been very useful and I have previously been able to do this regulary. If I visit a new area, there might be no suitable caches to visit for the next loop, but plenty for the ones after that.

Don´t remember for sure when I did it last time, but think I at least did it last summer.

how do I get log change notifications?

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:00:58 +0000

Typing in the search bar at top and clicking the magnifying glass apparently doesn't actually do anything? I have tried repeatedly to put various terms in but nothign at all happens.

The tips told me I can sign up for log change notifications for my owned caches, but I have been through all the menus and found nothing.

BTW there is no link to just go to the forums? If there is, do please let me know where to find it!

The list of extremes has all the countries where I've cached except Spain.

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:24:37 +0000

Why is Spain missing from my statistics? How this can be corrected?

Live Karte funktioniert mit der ,5 D/T Wertung nicht.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 12:53:42 +0000

Hallo,

Seit ein paar Tagen kann ich keine direkten Abfragen in der Live Karte mit x,5 Wertungen bei der D und auch bei der T Wertung machen. Ich muss dann immer den x,0 Wert davor nehmen und bekomme dann alles angeboten was zwischen den beiden x,0 Werten liegt.
Beispiel: Ich suche nach einem Multi mit der Wertung D4,5 T2,5. Mit den Schieberegler muss ich nun D4,0-5,0 und T2,0-3,0 einstellen. Dann werden mir alle Multis wie mit dem Regler eingestellt sind angezeigt, was natürlich nicht das ist was ich haben will. Stelle ich D4,5 und T2,5 ein, werden mir nur Caches mit D5,0 und T3,0 angezeigt.

found a multi GCAA8E4 on 02/29/2024, but it doesn't show a leapday addon for multi cacher

Is it possible to have a Map of "types not found in a country"?

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 19:41:13 +0000

What title says, is it possible for example for me to ask project-gc for a map of belgium which only includes types I have not yet found in this particular country (virtual, earthcache, etc.). I have been checking around and I think there is no such option. thanks
