Does project-gc count the total favourite points awarded on owned caches in another way than geocaching.com does?

Mon, 16 Jan 2017 06:32:41 +0000

My profil stats say I got 485 FPs from other geocachers. I manually checked this sum and according to geocaching.com it is "just" 467 FPs.

I am wondering what is responsible for this difference. I found no info in the FAQs or in previous threads of this support system.

My guesses would include FPs which were/are awarded to geocaches I owned once but now are adopted by someone else or FPs which were withdrawn (mostly due to archieving the cache).

Does anyone know someting about this issue?

Thanks and a have nice monday (if such a thing exists)

Does it make sense to calculate the percentage of 'total favorites received' including logs for events?

The profile bar about hidden geocaches shows the total favorites received information with a total number and a percentage value.

From my observation the calculation of that percentage includes logs for attended events. Since we cannot add events to our list of private favorite caches at all, it would make sense to filter those log counts?
