+Team Henzlik Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 If you log "Needs Maintenance" as apposed to "Found It", does this find count? I logged it this way because the found cache was almost destroyed and I felt my duty to report this to the owner. Should I have logged this find differently? I recently purchased GSAK and am still currently learning all the functionality of this prog. Man there's allot! I discovered a discrepancy between "My Logs" on the Geocaching website and GSAK, while carefully comparing the two. It turned out to be a find I logged as "Needs Maintenance" that we're not getting credit for. See the below message I get when trying to edit the log of this cache from "My Account Details". Editing a Log Entry There was an action associated with this log. The log type cannot be changed. In reference to: Three Diamonds Micro (Traditional Cache) Type of log: Needs Maintenance Date Logged: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 Comments: This cache is almost destroyed. Very wet. Thanks for the hide! SL Thanks in advance for anyone’s help / clarification here. Link to comment
+tozainamboku Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Needs Maintenance does not count as a find. Create two logs - one for finding a cache and another for needs maintenance. Someone may be visiting a cache to place/retrieve a bug or just to check on it when in the area and might log Needs Maintenance where they didn't want to log a find on the cache. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 What Mr T said is best. You did find it but the needs maintainence log is just a notify feature. Link to comment
+DavidMac Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I've seen a number of people post Needs Maintenance and a Did Not Find log together, for example when the tree containing the cache has obviously been removed. Link to comment
