+Ed & Julie Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 When one looks at a cache page, there is a section just above the logs that says: Logged Visits (229 total. Visit the Gallery (6 images)) Warning. Spoilers may be included in the descriptions or links. Cache find counts are based on the last time the page generated. I think it would be animprovement to see that changed slightly to look like: Logged Finds 210 total. Other Notes/Logs 19 Visit the Gallery (6 images) Warning. Spoilers may be included in the descriptions or links. Cache find counts are based on the last time the page generated. When I look at the cache pages, I'd like to know the number of times it's been found, instead of just the total number of logs (which includes notes, DNFs, etc). Just a thought Ed Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Not the first time this has been suggested, but it's still a good idea. Raine, are you listening? Link to comment
+hiker49 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I agree with you 200%. Hopefully this will get one of the all powerful admins (like Jeremy's) attention. Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Another Ditto here. Link to comment
+Enchanted Shadow Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I think that *both* numbers should be listed, as they both have their uses. Link to comment
+Ed & Julie Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 I think that *both* numbers should be listed, as they both have their uses. They would be, if they were listed like my example above. Instead of saying: 119 total logged visits I think it would be more useful to state: 100 Logged finds 19 other Logs/Notes You still know that there was 119 total, it's just broken down.

+Super_Nate Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I've never thought of that! I like it, and it is a good point. Link to comment
+wildearth2001 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 yeah, Im another big time ditto, I have been wishing for that for a long time Link to comment

+Newmarch Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I find it rather aggrivating that a cache owner can simply archive the DNF's. I experienced this several times recently in the Jacksonville area. I'd post a DNF and get an e-mail the same day saying my log had been deleted. So, the last find was on May 31, 2005. No telling how many DNF's had been deleted between that date and September 5th. So, actually, I believe the feature of allowing the cache owner the right to delete DFN's offensive. Link to comment
+garri Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I vote for your proposal. But I remember it was ignored before Link to comment
+badlands Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 I vote YES it would be a welcome addition. Link to comment
+robert Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Nice idea. And for events, it would be nice to see the number of "Will Attend" logs (though I realize 1 "Will Attend" will not be equal to 1 person attending, but it still helps!) Link to comment

+geognerd Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Especially relevant now that the cache reviewer's "Published" log is counted as the first loged visit for every new cache. Link to comment

But just to be clear, the cache owner can delete any log entry they choose; whether it be a DNF, Found It, or a Note. Link to comment
+Super_Nate Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 All right, we've got a resounding yes...who do we talk with to get it going? Link to comment

+The Blue Quasar Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The challenge is to create the method to make a change like that. It might be that everyone agrees that it is best but unless a way to implement a change is suggested in addition, then it might not be received. We all have ideas, vague or specific about various ways to alter things... and some might be really good, others really bad, and most in between somewhere. The hard part is getting consensus and determining implentation. That and also, finding someone to devote the time to well document all of the changes or alterations and explain why they should be made, in addition to cross-referrencing the changes, how they would impact each other and countless other factors. That would be a daunting task for anyone, including the Groundspeak echelon. It is often easier to continue with what you have, and make changes only if required. While I agree fully with the change, it is a cosmetic change only, and would probably get set as a low priority... as a guess. The Blue Quasar Link to comment
+BigFurryMonster Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 It'll help if we knew whom to talk to. I agree fully with the idea. Link to comment
+Cornix Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 The challenge is to create the method to make a change like that. It might be that everyone agrees that it is best but unless a way to implement a change is suggested in addition, then it might not be received. I guess all it needs is adding a condition to the WHERE clause of the SQL query. SELECT count(*) from log WHERE log.cacheid = $CID AND log.type = 1 Just my 2 cents Cornix Link to comment
+Pharmadude Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yes, me too as well also besides! This is one little enhancement I would greatly appreciate Link to comment
