Hides tab showing wrong find count despite refresh

Wed, 27 Sep 2023 11:15:04 +0000

One of my caches, GC4M2A5, has recently had a decrease in the number of finders. I think this was due to one of the finders deleting their account. According to the cache page, there are now 49 find logs, however PGC still shows this at 50. I've done a self-service refresh of that cache and all my hides, and waited a couple of days but it still shows the wrong count. Is there any other way to recalculate this?

Is there a way to add a custom list of caches to my hides stats?

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 23:56:52 +0000

Is there a way to have the "Hides" stats include a custom additional list of caches - in my case, I'm interested in adding caches that I hid on behalf of a local nature center account, and also caches that I have adopted out to other cachers as I'm leaving my home state where I started caching. Thanks!

Is there a way to search for caches hidden a certain date, for instance April 24?

Tue, 30 Jun 2020 21:06:31 +0000

In order to complete a challenge I need to find 10 caches hidden on April 24. The year is not important. Does anyone know how to search for them?

My Profile stats > Hides > Adventure labs

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:06:39 +0000

Hi,

On My profile stats there's a [Hides] tab.
Are there any plans or is it possible to include my own labcaches on that page as well?

I've got a PGC and GC payed membership if that matters.

Average D/T for Hides?

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 20:41:54 +0000

I think it would be interesting to see the "Average" difficulty and terrain for hides.

Having those numbers as footers under the "Placed by difficulty rating" and "Placed by terrain rating" tables would be great - just as they are listed under the comparable "Finds by difficulty rating" and "Finds by terrain rating". No need to see these averages by year, just overall.

Thanks!

Is there a way to see all finder countries for caches that you have hidden?

Fri, 08 Jun 2018 18:32:37 +0000

Profile stats shows "Finders by country" under the "Hides" tab, but only shows the top 20 countries. Is there a way to see all finder countries?

Lab cache hides in statistics on project-gc.com ?

Sat, 18 Nov 2017 22:25:25 +0000

Now that apparently lab caches has been included in the profile stats (including, apparently, BagdeGen), I think it appropriate to bring up this old topic:

https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=12205/lab-cache-hides-in-statistics-on-project-gc-com

It would seem that a lab cache hide does not appear. Not in the "Hides" tab, not in BadgeGen.

There is no precedence on how to handle hides on geocaching.com since they don't include hide stats at all.

Any plans to bring lab cache hides into the ProfileStats module as well ?

EDIT: They are included in the overall hide count, as evidenced by

Finders by country in Profile Statistics

Thu, 21 Sep 2017 22:12:19 +0000

Hello,

I'm missing a list of countries the finders of my caches are from in the Profile Statistics' Hides Tab. Would it be possible to implement such a thing? Your geocaching.com userscript adds the finder's countries of individual caches to the listings, so I assume there are data available.

Best Regards,

Days Per Find not showing correctly

Sun, 09 Apr 2017 08:10:26 +0000

I have a cache in my Hides stats that was hidden on 13th July 2016 and archive on 9th March 2017 (GC6NCE1). Not the longest lived cache in the world, it was found 36 times. However, in the stats it shows as zero finds per day. The cache was around for 239 days so, by my calculations, it should show as 6.64 days per find.

This isn't the only cache in my Hides that shows this issue, I have another hide (GC29QY6) that was active from 22nd May 2010 to 9th March 2017 (2483 days) that shows 0 days per find but I think it should be 9.74.

My Hides that have been found by specific cachers

Sun, 27 Nov 2016 00:15:49 +0000

Is it possible on here to find which, if any, of my own caches that a specific cacher has logged as found?

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.

Lab cache hides in statistics on project-gc.com ?

Thu, 20 Oct 2016 11:50:28 +0000

Now that lab cache finds seems to have been successfully implemented, I have got to ask: Will there be a statistic for lab cache hides ?

According to my profile on geocaching.com I have one labcache hide. This is not an error. One of the first lab caches available was a cache where you could hide a lab cache that only could be found once, ever. It was launched in February of 2014 as a sort of Valentines day gimmick.

Are there any plans to include lab cache hides in any way in the statistics on project-gc.com ?

Cache with most finds bug

Sun, 14 Jun 2015 14:51:53 +0000

My hides Profile "cache with most finds" has a bug. The cache that it shows as my most found cache isn't, and I'm puzzled as to why that one has been shown since its not even in my top ten.

it is showing this cache http://coord.info/GCFA39 with 855 finds instead of this one http://coord.info/GC6271 with 5,531 finds?

The count of the finds of my hidden caches is incorrect

Fri, 03 Apr 2015 07:07:59 +0000

The number of found logs for caches hidden by me in the Hides tab is wrong - naturally in every statistics on the tab that includes it. I think it's not an information update problem since one find on a specific date is included and other on the same is not, also the finds are more than six weeks old. In more details I have 2 caches hidded and every one of them is found 2 times on 2 different dates by 2 different cachers so I have a total of 4 finds. The statistic shows 3 finds. It misses the second find of the second cache while counts the second find of the first cache wich is made by the same cacher on the same date.

My hides not showing on 'top elevation'

Sun, 11 Jan 2015 19:41:16 +0000

Basically, nothing shows up when I search caches by elevation, filtering to only show caches that I've hidden. I'd quite like to see the elevation for each of my caches, but I can't :(

Manually adding GC-Codes to Profile stats hides for caches which were hidden by serveral cachers

Tue, 09 Dec 2014 15:56:46 +0000

At gc.com a cache can only be linked to one account. In reality caches are often hidden by a group of cachers where only one person can have the cache on his account. For statistic purposes it would be great if you could manually add GC-Codes to the generation of your "profile stats hides" overview for all the caches which you have hidden as part of a group of cachers but they are not linked to your account.

Which cache was my number X?

Fri, 21 Nov 2014 07:54:45 +0000

Is there a way with PGC to find out which was my X:th found or hide?

Some coins for example have intervals that don't match the milestone interval on geocaching.com page. So let's say you would like to order your 250 caches found geocoin for example: http://www.geocoinshop.eu/Geocoins-with-Engraving/Geo-Award-Geocoin-250-Finds-Set-incl-Pin::2592.html

How can i find out which is my 250:th find because there is no milestone for 250. Is there a script or any function that can give this feedback.
