Group logging under common nick

Sat, 07 Jan 2017 21:13:24 +0000

What do you think about group logs - I mean group of people go for hunt and makes one common nick for logging (in most cases names shortcut etc.) to be quicker. Sometimes powertrail owners allow this due space saving in logbook and then people from that group log individually on gc.com. But I know about cases where geocachers make own shorten nick and just tells cache owners this are we, who loggend so.
In my opinion is this way of logging at least discutable as geocaching rules says that geocacher should left his/her signature in logbook and then online on gc.com...

Logging of earthcaches

Sun, 27 Nov 2016 09:09:44 +0000

Just wondering which date people use when they are logging earthcaches. I tend to visit a site on one date, work out the answers at home some time later and then send the information to the CO, which is sometimes another date again. I use the date that I work out the answers as my 'found date' because that's when it feels I've completed the cache.

Now I know there's not going to be a rule as such, but I'd be interested to know which date other people use on these caches where there's nothing physical to sign and date.

My Found Count Includes Archived Logs

Fri, 29 Jul 2016 14:33:51 +0000

Owing to a mess up while using GSAK, I managed to accidentally log two finds on one of my own caches (which was already archived itself). I deleted (archived) both "Found" logs on gc.com and a little while later, my Found Count there came good again.

However, ever since, it has bee WRONG here on Project-gc.com. It shows TWO MORE finds on ONE MORE geocache than is correct.

I can only assume that the API includes archived found logs in its output - is there a way for Project-gc to suppress these (which are clearly not wanted)?

Thanks.
