100 oldest caches on dashboard?

Thu, 25 Jul 2024 20:46:15 +0000

Would it be possible to have the possibility on the dashboard to expand the 'Oldest caches found' to the 100 oldest, just as it is now possible for the 100 caches with most favorite points? Just an idea (and maybe it has already been mentioned before)!

Bug: wildly wrong depth?

Wed, 04 Nov 2020 23:51:18 +0000

While I appreciate the diamond badge for the Low Altitude Cacher I do not really feel like I earned it. I have found the cache GC397JN, whose published coordinates are in Lake Wairarapa, a lake that is 2.5m deep, and less than 10m above sea level. And yet the cache is flagged at 944m below sea level.

I think there has been an earlier Q querying this, but those caches were out at sea and we did not realise how much error there was.

There is something wrong with the altitude data somewhere!

Is there a possibililty to generate a ProfileStat for a defined date?

Wed, 30 Sep 2020 17:37:37 +0000

Is there a possibility to generate a ProfileStat for a given Nickname at a given Date?

Like GC2YJXG where I need to answer some question about the first 1000 finds of the User this cache is dedicated to.

Low Altitude Cacher badge - bug or feature?

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 05:40:31 +0000

The other day we had the Gold badge for Low Altitude Cacher - now suddenly we have the Ruby badge. What happened? (No, as far as we know we have not logged any low altitude caches in the meantime).

Bug: Souvenir links go nowhere

Tue, 09 Jun 2020 04:11:53 +0000

Clicking on any souvenir in the Profile Stats > Souvenirs tab opens a link in the form https://project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats#souvenirId_2063, which does not resolve to anything and so opens the default Profile Stats page.

Should they link to the Geocaching.com souvenir?

Bug: Both High Altitude and Long Distance Cacher badges units reporting incorrectly?

Sat, 02 May 2020 10:43:41 +0000

I just noticed another possible bug. I've already read this thread and the problem is not the same.

https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=22102/imperial-units-projectgc-stats-metric-imperial-check-settings

I have both places set to Imperial units (feet and miles) under Settings from the screen name drop down menu and also under Statistics - Profile Stats - Settings. When I look at the Hide tab everything reports as Imperial units. However, when I hover over the Long Distance and High Altitude badges it still reports the units as metric. I believe the badge levels are also still reporting as metric.

To attempt to resolve, I have already toggled off both Imperial settings and then did a Shift + Refresh. This worked to set everything back to metric. When I toggled Imperial back on and used the same refresh procedure the same problem persisted.

Bug in Attribute Cacher Badge?

Wed, 29 Apr 2020 05:43:37 +0000

Hi,

currently my stats are as follows:

Positive Attribute: 63 von 66 gesammelt (95.5%)
Negative Attribute: 41 von 41 gesammelt (100.0%)

but the badge states 4 are missing:

The Attribute Cacher (Diamant)
	50	70	80	85	90	95	100	103	202	4 (3%)

Am I wrong or this is a bug in badge calculation?

Cheers

Why is this §OPTOUT:c49eef81§ text in my Finds by owner stats?

Thu, 05 Mar 2020 01:20:44 +0000

Can someone explain why I have this text §OPTOUT:c49eef81§ replacing a cache owners name in my Cache by owner section of PGC stats?

Bug: Geocacher badge not rendering addons in hover text

Sun, 01 Mar 2020 16:22:01 +0000

My IT knowledge is not the best so don't get too critical. When I hovered over the Geocacher badge on my friends profile it did not render his add-ons in the text description. I have provided the link to his profile page. Is this a bug that needs fixing?

https://project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats?profile_name=Geojeepsters&getprofile=Get+profile#BadgeGen

I already used Shift+Refresh (Reload this Page) and it still didn't fix it.

Why are BadgeGen matrix loop addons capped at 99 but still show real number in Find Stats?

Tue, 11 Feb 2020 18:29:59 +0000

I understand loop addons are capped, however, the real number still displays in the Find Stats section. Just curious why the cap was selected for the addons when the real number is still logged?

ProfilStats shows a wrong result

Sat, 18 Jan 2020 17:43:46 +0000

Hi,

the feature ProfileStats shows a wrong result:

The item "Furthest cache found:" shows 9,594.57 km, TAKE OFF TO THE RAINBOW’S END, GC1YTJ2

This cache lies in Iceland and is NW 2568.5 km from your home

My real furthest cache found lies in Vietnam.

This problem exists since yesterday.

What went wrong?

Thanx in advance for your support.

Kind regards, eltopo00

Total HIDES does not include my Adventure Labs.

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 00:15:19 +0000

The Adventure Lab hides that I have are included in my TOTAL HIDES on my Groundspeak profile but not the Project GC profile. Can this be corrected?

Tabs in GC profile do not work

Sun, 09 Jun 2019 20:27:10 +0000

After authenticating, I went to Statistics - Profile stats, then downloaded static HTML file, copy-pasted its contents to the About field in my profile. Now the statistics are rendered correctly when I view my profile in GC.com, but the tabs do not work at all. They don't work in FF nor in Opera, and not even for a different GC.com user who also has statistics generated by project-gc in his profile. Can this be fixed, please?

Why do my Profile Stats only show the Hides, BadgeGen and Souvenirs sections?

Sun, 09 Jun 2019 08:36:50 +0000

I have previously been able to see my personal stats relating to my Finds, Maps, Milestones and FTFs, but I can't see them any more, the only sections available being Hides, BadgeGen and Souvenirs. Am I just being a bit dim or is there a reason for this (I have authenticated my account).

Disabled modules are not effective in the modulesettings view

Mon, 27 Nov 2017 11:13:28 +0000

As already discussed in several questions, there is a problem with disabling modules of profile stats. They are actually disabled, but it is not visible from the modulesettings view.

Reproducer:

Open "modulesettings" view:
https://project-gc.com/Statistics/ProfileStats?modulesettings
Click on "Disable" of the first module
The module has red background and is no longer visible in the public view of profile stats:
https://project-gc.com/ProfileStats/Jakuje
Open the modulesettings view again (or refresh)

Current behavior:

The disabled module has again green background as it would be enabled, button says "Disable".

Expected behavior:

The disabled module should have red background and button should say "Enable".

This is confusing, because many people assume it does not work because of this.

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!

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.

DT stats not updating today

Thu, 26 Nov 2015 18:28:10 +0000

I'm a paid member and the stats for the DT grid haven't updated today. It says on the page the stats are updated hourly. I have already ran a selfSupportRefreshFindCount and a selfSupportRefreshGccodes but still no update. The cache I am interested in showing was logged about 5 hours ago. Anyone know of any issues?

Adding GeoPuzzle collection statistics to Profile Stats

Mon, 18 May 2015 19:23:05 +0000

There is a web that maintains a list of geocaches with similar theme called geopuzzle. That can be for example Wooden Churches in Slovakia, Castles in Hungary, Caves in Czech, Summits in Europe etc. (http://www.geotrophy.net/en/GeoPuzzle/)

This is quite popular in Slovakia & Czech Republic. ( http://www.geotrophy.net/en/Hunters/)

There is an xml exports of the caches in particular geopuzzle. (http://www.geotrophy.net/en/development/)

The system is open, I have created 2 geopuzzle and I think this can be spread to other countries and become popular there.

My Question is Could you add this geopuzzle stats to Profile stats at project-gc?

Geopuzzle is generated also by other geo stats generators: GSAK, GeoGet, MyFound and MoziGo.

Geopuzzle stats look like in my profile: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=lj.

Youngest cache found: always an event

Fri, 27 Mar 2015 09:08:48 +0000

For me, the “Youngest cache found” profile stat is always the last event I visited. I assume this is the same for many others. While being a “wishlist” improvement, it would be cool if this could exclude event caches, the same way the “Caches found which are now archived” one does.

Show statistics for a specific year?

Fri, 20 Mar 2015 19:19:48 +0000

Is there a way to show for instance Profile Stats for a single year or specified period?

Stats date wrong

Fri, 13 Feb 2015 15:12:11 +0000

“mirabilos has 1207 finds on 1207 unique geocaches

Data from 2015-02-12”

This is wrong though, it does not show the caches found yesterday at around 21:40 CET (20:40 UTC), logged about 20-30 minutes later.

Speaking more generally, the Profile Stats have recently been using data that’s exactly one day older than the day shown, at least from my observations.

Just wanted to report this ☺

Suggestion of small css tweak of profile stats

Wed, 11 Feb 2015 21:03:13 +0000

Hi!

I find it a little(very little) annoying that the tabs on the profile page have a small gap between the actual tabs and the tab content

But it can be easilly fixed by shanging the css style to this:
