+LeGodFather Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I found this by accident.. There is this cache (GCXPFZ) that has been archived by the owner on June 9, 2009 but, when clicking on his profile (either on the "placed by" link, or the " "archived log" link), it shows that the last time he logged on was on October 9, 2008. A bug from the system? Synch problem? He logged on from a different source (mobile, iphone, blackberry.. wap?) Who knows.. I was just reporting something I saw.. it's just weird and I'm curious to know why.. Link to comment

Keystone Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 This is a known bug. When a user logs in with the widget on the homepage rather than from the full login page, the date of the last site visit doesn't update as it should. For this reason, volunteer cache reviewers have to be very careful to not archive caches prematurely because the cache owner is "gone." Thanks for the report! Link to comment

+Allanon Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Go to the GC.com home page and log out. Go visit Google and then come back to the home page. In the upper right of the page next to the small banner picture, notice that there is a Name/Password login box set. Don't use that, but... Click the link above and to the right of that says Log In. Two different ways, two different "last visited" dates. Link to comment

Hmmm... followed your instructions (I think) but when I clicked the "Click the link above and to the right of that says Log In." link, all it did was to repostion my cursor to the username textbox. Maybe if I had continued to log in that way, the date would have been different, but I'm not taking it that far. Thanks. Link to comment

It takes me to an entirely different page...the same one you see when you log out. Link to comment
