+Gan Dalf Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I posted this in the Travel Bug forum too but it might be more apprpriate here: I just published a Travel Bug Rest Stop (GC22XHD, check it out! I'm pretty happy with it) and the FTF noted that he left a bug in the cache. When I went to check out the history I noticed that the link that allows you to look at the history of the bugs in a cache is no longer an option. Is this true, or am I missing something? Did this occur during the recent "update" and was it intentional? If it was intentional, why? I'm sorry but I really liked this feature and if it was made to go away I'm wondering if anyone else feels the same way I do and if there is a chance it will be brought back given enough pressure from us. Thanks FM Link to comment
+pppingme Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I just looked at your cache and sure enough, its not there. I looked at another cache that only had one tb and no coins and the option was there. Looks like a new bug to me. Link to comment
+benh57 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Possibly because no TBs have been retrieved from the cache yet, only dropped in. Try retrieving one of the TBs that is in it. Link to comment

Good suggestion, unfortunately I tired it and it didn't work. the "see the history" link is still not there. Link to comment

I looked at another cache that only had one tb and no coins and the option was there. Looks like a new bug to me. Travel Bug history still shows on the ones I looked at (not yours). EDIT: perhaps it needs some time to develop a "history"? Or maybe you have utilized all of the room in the box!!!!! Edited January 23, 2010 by Gitchee-Gummee Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 In comparing your cache to mine I would guess the problem occurs when there is a large number of bugs in the cache listing. I checked an event cache with many bugs and the history is missing there as well. Perhaps a developer can check. Link to comment
+Gan Dalf Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 This quote is from a comment made on the identical thread in the TB Forums: I just had a look at your new cache page and I must say it looks very good - I enjoyed reading the history of Snohomish. I wonder if the link to TB history isn't showing as yet because no trackable has actually been removed from the cache? All the items that you placed are still present, plus the extra TB dropped in by fatguybp, but nothing has been taken... Maybe that "TB history" link comes into play once a retrieval has been made? MrsB You could be right. I checked another newer cache of mine (GC23555) that didn't start out with a bug in it but has had a couple placed in it since then and the history link is not there either. I did try retrieving one of the coins I had placed in the cache and putting it back in to see if the history link showed up and that didn't work but perhaps a more extensive history needs to develop before the link shows up. I would like to see a developer comment on this whatever the case. Link to comment
+benh57 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It's there now. I suspect the TB history database runs as some sort of nightly process, so doesn't always show up immediately on new caches. Link to comment
