+Buggheart Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi there, I've been fighting for about an hour with running a PQ for all my finds. I have 284 but when I run a PQ for all finds within 500 miles of my zip code it only shows 209. I've asked it to show me: 500 caches of any type any container that I have found 500 miles from my zip code (I've only cached within 200 miles of my zip code so 500 should cover it) So with that criteria, it's only returning 209 caches. Many have been archived so I'm thinking that has something to do with it, but when I select "that I have found" and "are active" and "not active" I get zero results. Can anyone offer any advice about what I may be doing wrong? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+FatherAndProgeny Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Use the my finds PQ instead of a custom one. It runs once a week but gives you everything. Quote Link to comment
+Buggheart Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks so much! I didn't realize that was there (how I missed it I have no idea). Quote Link to comment

But the All Finds one will, which is why that one should be used and probably the reason the OP was only getting 209 caches. Quote Link to comment

+ras_oscar Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 One question I've pondered: will "all my finds" PQ return all finds or only the last 500? Im approaching the milestone where it makes a difference. Quote Link to comment

Im approaching the milestone where it makes a difference. It returns all finds...since lots of people have thousands of finds, it's limited to running once a week to reduce the server load.
