Streak continues on profile, but ended on stats page?

Wed, 13 Oct 2021 13:20:22 +0000

I'm on a consecutive 879 day caching streak, and this is reflected in my personal profile (kill me now). I've been tracking my progress among other top streakers in Ontario, but at some point about a month ago, my stats on the "leaderboard" stopped updating. Now, my bar has turned red.

https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopStreak?profile_name=bmuzzin&profile_country=Canada&profile_region=Ontario&submit=Filter

I've tried doing "self-service", to recount finds, but after several days, those options are still disabled, and the problem hasn't resolved. Anybody know why this is happening, and if there's something I can do to resolve it?

Thanks!

Why are lab caches no longer included in my streak ?!

Sat, 28 Aug 2021 20:38:03 +0000

Hi,

I am a Premium and paying PGC member.

Lab caches were included in my current streak a few days ago, now I have a gap with one day in Aug-2021 where I only cached for labs...

Were the rules changes and if so, why?

Cheers

top streak chart

Sun, 29 Mar 2020 19:50:26 +0000

My Profile Stat says my streak is at 336 days.

If I go to the "Top Caching Streaks" chart it lists me with a streak of 323 and appears to be no longer increasing.

Is there a problem?

If you have a geocaching streak, would you continue if asked to self-quarantine?

I suppose I'd end any current streak. What say you?

Request New "Active" filter for Top Caching Streaks

Would it be possible in the future to add another filter to the Top Streaks statistic to isolate currently active streaks only?

Change date range for "Last 365 days" statistic in profile stats

Wed, 22 Mar 2017 17:59:17 +0000

In my profile stats (for 2017-03-22), I have the following in my "Most consecutive days with finds" and "Last 365 days":

First I thought that there was an error in the "Last 365 days" stat. It is however technically correct that I have only cached 364 out of 365 days if you include the current date (2017-03-22) in your count. I would argue, however, is that it is next to impossible to have that statistic hit the full 100%. The statistics for 2017-03-22 are generated at night in the early hours of 2017-03-22. If I was to have a 100% rating, I would either have to

Live (or stay) several time zones east of the servers' location to get a head start on the day before the stats are generated.
Log a cache before it is found (which I would consider cheating).
Find a cache immediately after midnight and log it immediately after and hope that I made it in time before the stats are generated.

My point is that the current implementation is somewhere between misleading and unhelpful. It would be way more helpful if it actually calculated the "Last 365 days" based on the last 365 days and not the current 365 days. The last 365 days should be yesterday and the 364 days that came before that. The same goes for the "Last 365 days averages" stats.

I am tagging this as a feature request as this is technically not a bug - just somewhat unhelpful in its current implementation.

An issue with Most consecutive days with finds

Fri, 09 Sep 2016 10:58:02 +0000

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help with a problem I have involving my Most consecutive days with finds statistic.

Project-GC currently states that my streak is 288, from 2015-07-25 to 2016-05-07

but this is incorrect as I found a cache on the 7th of May (https://coord.info/GLP65K1V) and also on the 8th of May (https://coord.info/GLNBHNPG) infact my streak should currently end on the 28th of May (I haven't logged my finds for the 29th May yet)

The date on my statistics says they were generated today, and I logged the cache from the 7th of may around Monday or Tuesday and the cache on the 8th of May I logged months ago! I'm not too sure how to fix this issue so my statistics are correct!

Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

Streak in particular calendar month checker

Wed, 09 Dec 2015 19:48:47 +0000

I was looking to tag challenge checkers for "GC49NK3 - Haggis Streak Challenge: Jumbo June Jaunts" and "GC49NAV - Haggis Streak Challenge~Many May Materialisations".

They are both very similar and require a streak for a specific month. ie: NOT as I'd erroneously thought to have completed a month but to have completed a streak in that month.

Target's generic streak checker doesn't seem to fit the bill as I think it only checks numbers of days in a streak and not that the number of days cover a specific month. So I'm not sure that one can be used. Others don't seem to quite fit either.

Is there a suitable script I can tag or do I need to create my own?

New checker: Founds on consecutive days

Thu, 09 Apr 2015 15:32:39 +0000

I've made checker for check finds on consecutive days

http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4BF9Z/12503

checks for N consecutive days with found, optionally with T different cache types on different days and at least X caches on day
can be used for:
- check for single day with minimum X caches,
- check for N consecutive days without limit of number of caches found,
- check for minimum N caches found in X consecutive days (however every day at least one cache)
- check for N different types in single day

config:
{
  "days":number of consecutive days, default 1,
  "caches":number of total found caches, default 1,
  "differentTypes":number of different types required, default 1,
  "differentTypesOnDifferentDays":if you must have found every type on different day, default false,
  "minCachesOnDay":minimum caches on day, default 1,
  "types":[list of allowed types], default all
  "exclTypes":[list of excluded types], default none
  "logTitle": title of log, see the note.
  "logListTypes":true - list of all cache types found in the period - one cache per type, default false
  "logCachesPerDay":10 - list up to N caches per day. Put 1 for more compact output. default false
  "logGCODES":100 - very compact list up to N caches per day, only gcode is printed. Useful for 100+ caches, default false
}

note - in the title of log you can use special words to be replaced by variables:
__nrfound__
__nrtypes__
__days__
__fromdate__
__todate__

examples:

100 caches in 2 days (very compact log)
Config: { "days": 2, "caches":100, "minCachesOnDay": 1, "differentTypes": 1, "logTitle": "I have found __nrfound__ caches in 2 consecutive days between __fromdate__ and __todate__:", "logGCODES":100 }

6 types in one day
Config: { "days": 1, "differentTypes": 6, "logTitle": "I have found __nrtypes__ different cache types in single day on __fromdate__ :", "logListTypes":true }

5 caches every day for 5 consecutive days:
Config: { "days": 5, "minCachesOnDay": 5, "logTitle": "I have found at least 5 cache per day for 5 consecutive days between __fromdate__ and __todate__:", "logCachesPerDay":10 }

30 consecutive days (compact log):
Config: { "days": 30, "logTitle": "I have found at least 1 cache per day for 30 consecutive days between __fromdate__ and __todate__:", "logCachesPerDay":1 }

What do the color codes mean in the top streak page?

I see some red, dark green and light green.

How is my home-country defined in the statistics (caching streak)?

Fri, 24 Oct 2014 00:10:19 +0000

Whenever we check our position in the caching streak in our home country (Belgium), we don't show up in the list. If we check for the Netherlands, we do show up.

Both on GC and on Project-GC we have set our home-country as Belgium. Can anyone point out why we still show up in the statistics for the Netherlands?

For completeness: in the filter we fill in our profile name and the country for the 'only people from...'

Thanks
