Geocaching statistics page - no word/character counts?

[+Kabuthunk]

So I was recently informed that geocaching now has its own statistics page (extra nice, since any of the 'downloaded' type stats programs have a tendency to dislike Linux if I recall correctly). It seems to have pretty much everything that itsnotaboutthenumbers had, minus the word/character count for your logs.

 

Does anyone else miss that? I always thought it was really interesting to wander over to a random geocacher's profile who had a high log length and read the stories that the posted for their caches. I made a suggestion for it, but I don't know how often those get checked or implemented. I've really got to start spending more time perusing the geocaching site as a whole and seeing what new stuff is kicking around.

 

But yeah, primary purpose of the topic, anyone else miss not having a stats page that shows word count/character count? I can't find even a single stats program that does this anymore, online or offline.

The feedback deal works that the more votes the more attention the topic gets from TPTB.

I miss it too! Logs mean more to me than numbers. Way more. So I'd like to see others counts as well as my own.

 

I voted!

I will vote for it. This is an cool feature.

How about something like the sum of the total of favorite points of geocaches you have found?

GSAK's FindStatGen3 macro generates statistics for total words, average words per log, total characters, longest log, and shortest log.

Actually I still have an account over at mycachingstats.com and they do this. It's actually the site that Groundspeak acquired to make their own stats page so I wouldn't think this would be too hard to implement? (There are alas more than a few things I like over there that never transferred over, such as a US counties map.)

Nope.

 

If you care, do it yourself. Then share with others. It's not very difficult.

Right, and that site includes the word/character count. Have to add it to your profile, and the Statistics tab is a lite version.

mygeocachingprofile.com's site still offers this. A link directly to the page is here:
