evilC Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Not sure if this is a one off case or perhaps a bug introduced with the the recent changes, but in one case when I look at profile of a person and click on "Found", the list includes some finds more than once, incorrectly as far as I can see. e.g. The following seems to show Gatman's most recent three finds twice, once correctly but repeated on an earlier date also (in this case before Gatman was even a member). http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest_cache.asp?ul=Gatman Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Gatman is logging the same cache multiple times. Each log entry is different; they are not duplicates. That's not a system bug. It's a user bug that has been flamed ad nauseum in other threads. You can only log a traditional cache as a find ONCE. (There are tiny exceptions where multiple finds are contemplated in the cache description.) x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- I keep missing my ex-wife. But my aim is getting better. Link to comment

Each log entry is different; they are not duplicates. What I find almost humorous is his second "find" of zuhe gongju. In his 2nd log he mentions "Found cache almost immediately. Bit too easy really for fun. " Well sure, it's usually very easy to find a cache when you already know where it's hidden! Illegitimus non carborundum! Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 I suppose its possible that he accidently logged a find to the wrong cache page. Has anyone contacted him? Link to comment
+Mopar Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 ... but usually he styles his hair so that you don't notice them poking out of his head! I actually did think of that, and being I am usually the one playing devil's advocate here, I guess I dropped the ball by not suggesting that this indeed COULD simply be a mistake by a fairly novice cacher.

+sbell111 Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Its funny that I'm usually jumping to conclusions and Mopar is usually the one to suggest moderation. Link to comment
evilC Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 I did check one of the doubled up cache logs but only saw Gatman's more recently dated logs. The earlier one must of been there I guess (it is now!), but I didn't see it. Then when I noticed that earlier reported log entry predated his membership (July 2002) I assumed there was a bug or database problem... Must be going blind. Link to comment
