Bug: Checker owner_id on adopted caches.

Wed, 07 May 2025 10:06:30 +0000

I have a checker, https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC55AHK/920, that checks for cache owners that are members of a list stored within the checker - charter members. However it looks like it does not correctly process caches that are adopted.

For example, CherokeeThree has found https://coord.info/GCA3FC which was owned by Peter but is now owned by wreckdiver. When the checker is run for CherokeeThree it shows he has not found any of wreckdiver's caches.

The checker is correctly set to use the owner_id (as opposed to using placed_by) and so should be picking up wreckdiver as the owner.

Could you take a look please?

Infinite karma with adopted caches

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 12:57:36 +0000

So I started geocaching in 2018, and after a few years I adopted 3 caches that were hidden before I started playing (and now are archived btw). Everything is fine, except for the caching karma graph on my profile stats - hides page. Since it counts that before 2018 I had 3 caches hidden and 0 found, it plots my karma (#hides/#finds) at the beginning as potentially infinite (think it's mathematically incorrect too). Consequently, the rest of the line gets flattened towards zero, no matter how high karma could be.

Anyone has any idea how to fix that?

'find bad logs' - logged own caches not reflective

Thu, 13 Aug 2020 15:46:01 +0000

Is it possible to show how many of the caches as shown in the 'Logged owned caches' list that are adopted
I had a clean sheet in the find bad logs tab - but adopted a cache a while ago and as it was one that I had found some 13 years earlier now shows up in that category of logged owned caches. Though I know I have adopted it - anyone else looking at this tab would have to click on the cache ID to check and even then not all adopted caches have enough detail on the cache page to show it is adopted - you find out by clicking CO details or scroll down the logs.

Most would think - really why would another cacher do any of that anyway ? .... it happens - I have even checked other cacher stats myself

However my point is would it be possible to have some sort of marker next to those caches that are adopted in that list

Thanks

A cache I adopted isn't showing up in My Hides

Sun, 27 Nov 2016 00:13:52 +0000

I recently adopted 2 caches (GCHYP4 and GCMCQZ) and the adoption was approved on the same day. One of them GCHYP4 is showing up in My Hides stats but GCMCQZ is not.

Bad Logs and adopted caches

Fri, 04 Dec 2015 11:42:48 +0000

Is it possible to identify caches that have been adopted? I ask as a friend has found two cached that they have subsequently adopted. Now of course that shows up in the Bad Logs report as having signed own caches although they weren't their own at the time.

If it is possible could the bad logs feature have an option to exclude adopted caches in the check please?
