+bogey Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I have a number of travel bugs out in the world and for some reason some of them do not record their mileage when placed in a new cache location? Any thoughts as to why and what can be done to record their mileage? Quote Link to comment
+Henki Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 It's been happening for quite a while now. Click on Recalculate Distance in the upper right corner of the screen; that should update it for you. Quote Link to comment
+Mohetka Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 It's been happening for quite a while now. Click on Recalculate Distance in the upper right corner of the screen; that should update it for you. I'm looking at a Travel Bug page right now and I don't see Recalculate Distance in the upper right corner or anywhere on the screen. Why can't I find it? Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Only the bug owner can see the option for any given bug. Upper right hand corner under: Travel Bug Owner Options Quote Link to comment
+Beffums Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 In a post (sorry, couldn't re-find it) Jeremy mentioned that with the new incarnation of the site, TB miles will only be updated once a day, and only on days that logs/notes/... were posted to that TB. So, I've noticed with mine that someone will place the TB and it will read (on my owners page) as having moved with no miles (not 0 -- just blank) below that location. But, if I wait til the next morning, it will have miles, and they'll update into the overall mileage for the TB (I have 3 in a race, so I've been paying close attention). I don't need to click recalculate distance or anything like that - I just have to remember to check the TB's a full day after the log. Quote Link to comment
+MsChief Gps_y Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) My long silent TB has resurfaced. Yahooo. But the mileage isn't showing. I did the Recalculate distance and nothing changed. It's last mileage is from Ohio but it was taken to Missouri and doesn't show the distance. Any other hints or help available to correct and show mileage? What seemed to start the problem was someone Placing it and then someone Grabbing it before the iintial place could log their Place way back in Nov 05. It was all academic when the TB went MIA. Thanks in advance a while later: was able to fix the problem and then the Recalculate worked....so thankGodfortheForums and all the helpful cachers out there. Now fingers crossed the TB gets Placed.
