Did you use old database copy to make the changes?

On my "ODS: PRIME!" profile, I have been updating the number of caches hidden by state and country on a daily basis just to keep up with the ODS cache project. The list is GONE and the profile now reads the last update as 8/11.

 

How did that happen?

I had some minor changes go missing as well. I just fixed them myself rather than holding my breath for TPTB to get it back for me.

It appreared they injected a default or appended some default text to the top of existing data.

 

I also had several settings modified. I did not recall all the settings around messenger and showing my email address. I could be wrong...

Will this be fixed?!

I'm betting it would be faster for you to just make the changes again yourself.

 

Gee thanks. The changes I lost represent several hours of "do over" work. I update daily because I can hardly keep up as it is.

Please remind me what the benefits of this change are so I can at least be happy about it.....?

Three small textareas were combined into one and the number of characters allowed is now more than the total of the three. :(

Weird happenings here . . . :D

 

My computer crashed and when I logged back on, my Profile had reverted to a state previous to changes I made a few hours ago. Okay, no big deal . . .

 

However, it had also somehow grabbed my old email address. I haven't used that one for almost a year . . . :(

 

And, one of the emails I received at that Yahoo address said I had to revalidate my account . . . :D

 

What is happening here? :D

Sorry dude. I understood that about as much as I can understand Charlie Brown's teacher when she speaks.

 

Another thread stated that the maximum allowed content was expanded for profile pages.... Is that true? If that's part of the problem, then I CAN be happy about having to do that work all over again.

Yes, it's true - that's what he just said. :laughing:

 

Before the change, there were three fields. I'm not sure what exactly they were since my profile is empty, but probably Latest News, Hobbies, Biography. There was a seperate limit on the number of characters (letters or html codes) for each field. Now there is only only field (Profile?), that has a character limit too, but it is higher than the limits of the three old fields combined.

Got me too!

 

I am new to geocaching and geocaching.com and I know that they have "the right to change things at any time with out any notice" but when I loose about 1.5 hours worth of edits I do tend to get just a bit peeved! :laughing:
