Why aren’t my challenge caches showing as completed on Project‑GC?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 15:45:45 +0000

I use Project‑GC to track my geocaching stats and check challenge caches, and but some challenges that don’t show as completed when even though I know I met the requirements. Im logged in with my account and I can see other stats fine.

I even tried refreshing the data and waiting a couple of days the FAQ says data can take a while to update, but it still shows “not completed” for challenges I definitely fulfilled. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

I run a fast Kolkata Fatafat (FF) geocaching route tracker on the side and it updates quickly, so I’m wondering if I’m missing a step on Project‑GC or if there’s some trick to force a proper challenge check. Any ideas on what might be going wrong or how to fix it?

Why to open GC profile to public, to show my private data within PGC?

I'm confused, a change today (11.11.25) - I do not know PGC or GC
made PGC unusable for myself.

e.g. i cant use

challenges checkers for myself

D/T Matrix check for myself

Challenge checkers for myself

etc.

Privacy settings should so my understanding prevent others to see the protected data.

but why this is no preventing me to see my data myself?

this confuses me know a lot ...

in addtion i would also ask that friends are also should be able to see my data if i allow that ,,,,

Affect of new privacy settings on badges, statistics...

Groundspeak released a few new privacy options for geocaching.com like hiding location, hiding souvenirs and hiding the gallery.

Will hiding any part of the profile affect the PGC statistics?

I could imagine if you hide your gallery, PGC will be unable to calculate the shutterbug-badge, or not?

Connection is not secure, Firefox warns

When accessing https://project-gc.com/ , Firefox shows a padlock with a yellow warning sign next to the url. Clicking on it reveals a dialog box stating in red letters "Connection is Not Secure".

I think this issue should be fixed as soon as possible.
