It's not about the numbers

[+Wadders]

I have tried to update my profile page several times over the last couple of months, but it never seems to work.

I have even tried to contact the page owner to no avail...................is it just me or are other users having the same problem?

 

not about the numbers

[+Pharisee]

Strange.... I've just uploaded my latest 'My Finds' GPX file and it updated the stats without any problem. Not being remotely technical, I've no idea why it works for me and not you.... sorry.

[+dino-irl]

What exactly do you mean by "profile page"? I don't see that option anywhere on the menus

[+Stuey]

If you mean the HTML export doesn't work, then I'm sorry but it works for me. If you mean the my finds data upload doesn't work, then make sure that your my finds file hasn't been renamed or unzipped.

I assume you mean your preferences page and not profile page. Once I remembered my password I had no problem just now changing my perferences.

What exact steps are you taking to get your finds and produce stats? Are any errors reported?

 

It goes something like this:

1. Go to geocaching.com Pocket Queries page
   
2. Click button to queue a My Finds PQ.
   
3. Wait. Receive My Finds as a nnnnnnnn.zip in your email.
   
4. Go to itsnotaboutthenumbers.com
   
5. Use the form to browse for your saved nnnnnnnn.zip file.
   
6. Submit it.
   
7. Wait for itsnotaboutthenumbers.com to complete.
   
8. Log in and examine your stats.
   
9. Go to HTML export page, adjust options and save the generated HTML.
   
10. Paste the generated HTML into your geocaching.com profile.
    

You can fail at any stage. I have.

I had a lovely load of HTML on my profile page from Its not about the numbers, but I haven't updated my profile in ages cos I've barely cached in months - and I noticed t'other day that the info from It's not about the numbers has gone from my profile page. Very odd.

 

I'll just have to update it!!

[+Mr'D]

You need to upload the myfinds .zip file, not the GPX file. Just updated mine and it took about 3 minutes.

HTML Export worked too

[+Stuey]

I didn't realise this, but anyone can see anyone else's stats on that site.... and generate HTML too. Your stats file has been uploaded successfully, so the problem must be the HTML export bit? I've managed to do it with your stats:

I've just uploaded mine for the first time in a few months, and it was all done in about 30 seconds. I used to have to wait about 10 minutes for the results to queue, then analyse..........

[+Wadders]

All sorted, i was using the gpx file and not the zip file
