    "Caches placed after" filter doesn't appear to be working.

    Adjusted title

    https://www.geocaching.com/play/map?lat=41.0131&lng=-74.1239&zoom=14&asc=true&sort=distance&st=waldwick%2C+nj&oid=-1&ot=query&pad=2023-05-31 is a link to show caches placed after May 31near my home location. It shows nothing for me, yet there are multiple caches placed nearby on/after 6/1 such as  https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCA9DP0_aire-gratis .

    I also looking in Project GC which is fed from GC's data and it's not showing any new caches in all of New Jersey. 

    Based on the above, it seems possibly something going on with the data vs just the map front-end on the GC site?

    replaced "new" with "newly taken" to prevent "new to me posting it" from being considered..

    Reach the Peak - No points for GIFF Community Event?

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    This weekend was a GIFF community celebration event - https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC8ZCY7_5th-annual-giff-at-the-movies-a-cc-event  . I see no one received any points for logging it in the Reach the Peak event. Are there no points for attending an event? The scoring lists 325 points for a Found it log while Events are Attended logs. Just wondering if there's a glitch in the matrix or this is expected.

    Username not displayed in app

    in Playing Adventures

    Posted · Edited by Team DEMP

    Username shows after logging out and back in. Odd that it pulled the other info for display without that. Guess that is a new test case for them to add. 
     

    I think my username did show, before logging out/in, on the top of the main screen but I can’t be 100% sure. 

    Release Notes (Website and Geocaching® app: Souvenir sorting) - April 26, 2021

    in Geocaching HQ communications

    Posted · Edited by Team DEMP

    It appears that multiple souvenirs obtained on the same day are not in newest order when that sort is selected. Minor compared to no date order but still appears to not be 100% based on when it was achieved.

    For an example, use the recent Wonders of the World promotion. In order to achieve the Ultimate Explorer souvenir, you must have achieved the Solar System souvenir. That means the order from newest to oldest would be Ultimate Explorer followed by Solar System, Natural Wonder, etc. 

    The order for me when sorted by newest first is not in that expected order - see desktop screenshot below. I see the order is also slightly different in the iPhone app view when multiple souvenirs are achieved on the same day.

    Release Notes (New Attributes) - August 31, 2020

    Within the next few days, Geocaching HQ will run a script to add the Geocaching.com solution checker attribute to all published caches that have the solution checker selected.

     

    Maybe they started it and it's just running really slow not to place locks on their DB?

     

    Not real: 

    insert into tbl_cache_attributes (cache_id, checker_attribute_id)

    select cache_id from tbl_cache_detail where hq_checker=true;

    My initial reaction, and possibly posted when announced, was the data should have been updated prior to enabling the front-end to customers.  HQ should consider this approach for future updates of this type.

    No solution checker in iOS using official app

    in Official Geocaching® apps

    Hello, I was just made aware of the fact that the Solution Checker supplied by Groundspeak does not show in iOS if you look at the cachedescription using the official app. After doing some testing I found that the same error (?) occurs both in Cachly and Looking 4 Cache.

     

    At some point, I thought maybe the checker was going to be enabled for 3rd party apps, but maybe I got my wires crossed. It could be the attribute is a first step and then a new API to call if the attribute is present with the interface surfaced within the 3rd party app? We'll have to wait and see.

    The attribute, if nothing else, will alert someone the official checker exists. I thought that was the sole purpose of the new attribute.

    Wasn't GS going to run a script and apply the new attribute/icon to all existing caches where the checker was in use? Not sure that was done yet or there's a long way for it to go to finish running. 

    Foe the moment, you need to go to the website in a browser to use it. 

    What are these icons on the map?

    in How do I...?

    In Open Street Maps, the golf course is tagged once and each of the 18 holes are noted. On each hole, the different tee boxes are called out as are the sand traps and each green as a feature in Open Street Maps. It looks like either GC's processing is adding an icon to each element or it's not an option for them to ignore certain elements. Not sure the sand traps, tee boxes and greens need to be called out. it would be plenty for the course and maybe each hole. 

    In Open Street Maps, different editors could tag courses differently, but at least for this one in question, and how GC is handling it, each feature is triggering its own icon.
