Souvenir for Summer Solstice 2023

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 12:25:26 +0000

Hello,

why did you sort the new souvenir for the June Solstice 2023 under "Other" and not under "Specific-day"?

Methinks the latter would be the better category for the souvenir.

Grüße vom Sänger

Solved: If I would have read the whole requirements first, I would not have asked this. It's fine in this category.

Souvenir CITO season 2

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 11:53:30 +0000

When checking my souvenirs, I noticed that the souvenir for Cito season 2 of this year is placed in the 'Other'-categorie, whereas all the other Cito-souvenirs are placed in 'Event-related'. Can this be changed so that they are all in the same categorie?

Thanks!

missing German translation

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 09:48:40 +0000

In the silent release of a "Challenge Difficulties" grid in the Challenge tab of Profile stats there are some missing strings for translation. Can you upload this strings to the crowdin-project.

"Challenges without challenge checkers doesn't have a difficulty rating calculated, archived challenges can potentially lose theirs after a while." is the missing string

Wrong souvenir category: Blue Switch Day 2021

Sun, 09 May 2021 07:59:14 +0000

The "Blue Switch Day 2021" should be in "Specific-day Souvenirs" (like the previous years) not in "Other Souvenirs"

Finds by year placed/Finds to xth for each year charts highlighting wrong year

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:37:19 +0000

I notice that there's now Finds by Year Placed and Finds to xth for each year bar charts that show as default over the pie charts.

However, the highlighted value (the value that shows your highest value on bar charts) is incorrect in that it's highlighting the first value in the chart, and not my highest value:

Average D/T per year: why one column, instead of two?

Tue, 01 May 2018 14:21:57 +0000

I scrolled through my stats and saw that the fairly new "Average D/T per year" section is arranged as one column with a scroll bar instead of one column, like the rest (at least in German).

I reckon the scroll bar is due to the very long "Durchschnittliche Schwierigkeit"/"Durchschnittliches Gelände", but there seems to be a spacing bug as the bars of Avg D kind of overlap with the year of T:

I also looked into the Crowdin translation strings - there is a shorter version approved ("Mittleres Gelände") which is used directly above, but somehow not implemented here.
I'll also suggest "Mittlere Schwierigkeit" on Crowdin.

There's another option: To display "average" via ø (unicode U+2300, Diameter Sign). This would save enough space even in languages with longer words...

missing German translation in statistic page

Tue, 30 Jan 2018 16:58:01 +0000

There are 2 new charts on the statistic page [Founds] - [Average difficulty per year] and [Average terrain per year]. Unfortuntaley there is no German translation. I checked the translation platform Crowdin.com but I wasn't able to find this new strings. So I'm guessing this strings are forget to insert into the translation database.

Furthermore there are some other small incorrect translations in the German page, which I reported couple of month before, without any changements. Maybe it could be possible to include this corrections within this change.

Map regions seems to have a glitch in China

Thu, 31 Aug 2017 17:48:04 +0000

the map regions page has a glitch in China: it seems the Beijing region is shifted towards the boarder between Hebei (which should be surrounding Beijing) and Tianjin. Seen this with iOS Safari.

Background Job notifies with double mail

Sun, 30 Apr 2017 07:22:52 +0000

Since some time, at least yesterday but I guess it's a longer period,

when I issuing a background job for creating a gpx with selection 'send an email when done', I get two mails on job readiness.

In some days this issue will celebrate its first birthday, but there are some days left to find the cause :-)

Profile stats: Finds by type: unknown for Mystery?

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 17:28:39 +0000

Hi there,

In your Profile Stats and there in the field "Finds by type" one of the types is "unknown" for me which should be a mystery.

Is this the same for you? Is this for any reason intended or is it not possible to change it?

Thanks for any help!

Can't see regions in Switzerland anymore

Thu, 20 Apr 2017 07:18:28 +0000

Before I could see the cantons when I was on the regions tab, but this is now gone, so I'm left with the 2000+ communes from the county tab. However I can now see some other divisions (seems to be regions) which I can choose under the county button, which weren't there before.
Is this a bug? Or an incomplete feature?

Mismatch between regions and counties in Kiev, Ukraine

Wed, 02 Nov 2016 17:25:44 +0000

This is not of the utmsost importance, but I believe that it is a bug none the less.

From the maps tab in my profile stats:

I don't know how government is structured in the Ukraine, but based alone on the locations of the green spots on the counties map, I believe that there is an error.

I have found the following caches in the Ukraine:

Disable Labs on Profil stats

I can not disable the Labs on the stats site because the PGC Link is over it. Same to badge site.

Pls fix it

Days per Find count wrong

Mon, 03 Oct 2016 19:45:09 +0000

In my "Hides" tab the days per find count of a cache (Der Apfelbaum) is 0 since I've archived it.

Advanced search case sensitivity issue

Fri, 09 Sep 2016 23:04:59 +0000

The advanced search on the dashboard behaves counter intuitively at times because it's case sensitive and there is no option, that I could see, to turn off that case sensitivity. Eg: for a challenge you don't qualify for so you want to search to find caches where the cache owners name starts with an X. This will bring up cache owners starting with an X but not those starting with an x. Similarly searching for a word in a cache name is needlessly difficult because of the case sensitivity.

Could you default the search to case insensitive as that's what most people would expect and add a checkbox option to turn on case sensitivity for the field.

Link "Return to Project-GC"?

Mon, 11 Apr 2016 17:51:21 +0000

I miss the link "Return to Project GC" on the upper right side on the Q&A-Forum. It seems to be deleted? Is there another fast and comfortable way to go back to the statistic?

minor bug in German translation

Wed, 03 Feb 2016 11:49:11 +0000

There are some English phrases on the German statistic page. Both of them are not findable in the (german) Translate Project. Would it be possible to add the missing string for translating.

custom filter creation minor bug

Sun, 10 Jan 2016 18:30:16 +0000

Hi,
I found an irritating minor issue in creating custom filters. What I did:

selecting menu item "Custom Filters"
selecting new
giving the new (filter) a name; adding some filter attributes
saving the newly created filter
(back in seeing "current filters")
selecting one another of the "current filters"; selecting "edit"

Result:

FIlter name has the content of the previously created new filter

Statement seems to be having the content of the filter I wanted to edit.

Don't know what happens, when saving this; if this maybe destroys one of the filters. Please check

Regards

itsbrody

Bug: Live Map hangs when filter turned off

Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:05:06 +0000

If the "Live Filters" icon isn't showing green and background is Google satellite then the page is refreshed the busy wheel continually spins and the log shows stopped at ParseSavedFilters()

I'm not sure if the background map makes a difference at all. It seems to turn off the live filters in Microsoft Edge browser when reloading the browser. So that might be something to do with it.

The issue though is clearly that ParseSavedFilters is getting stuck when there aren't filters to parse.

Why is France not colored in my world map?

Sun, 17 May 2015 08:38:32 +0000

In my world map in the statistics (http://project-gc.com/ProfileStats/DerLakaiMS), France is still white, while it is correctly colored green in the map of Europe. Only a small glitch, but once you realize it you see it all the time...

Thanks for the great site,

GC5FKXJ not returned by dashboard/wildcard, but well if by its GCcode

Wed, 21 Jan 2015 18:38:35 +0000

GC5FKXJ - Tihange - Bois de Tihange - Enigme3

- Not missing in your DB as it is reported when asking the GCcode.

- but not returned by wildcard 'enigme3' doesn't find anything, though 'enigme1' or 'enigme2' which are two other of my placed cache are repotrted. No caches matched your search.

The research by GC code AND by wildcard work for this:

GC5FAHT - Tihange - Bois de Tihange - Enigme2
