+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Is it just me or is the find count removed from the log pages? Looks like it. The logs are only displaying default avatars at the moment as well. They'll probably re-instate it sometime soon. Quote Link to comment
+cosninocanines Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yup, part of their "fix" to get the website performance back to usable I for one really appreciate seeing how many finds cachers have that log finds on my caches. I see no value in seeing avatars of those who log a find, the smiley face was just fine. Quit trying to be a social network and get back to the basics. Who found the cache, when they found it and their log of the find Quote Link to comment
+TJPost Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We are getting so frustrated with all of the changes. We don't care about the avatars appearing on the cache page (so far they're all blank, so what's the point). We are very happy that the dates are back - thank you! But now the find counts have disappeared. PLEASE bring them back and leave the logs alone - they were just fine the way they were. Quote Link to comment

GOF and Bacall Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yup, the find count is gone. Now if they could just loose it from the rest of the site. Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Good grief, this is even worse than the other variations. Please, please just return the logs to their appearance before the tinkering. Quote Link to comment
+BuckeyeClan Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm fine with not seeing everybody's find count. If you want to know how many finds someone has, just click their username and look at their profile! Quote Link to comment
jholly Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm fine with not seeing everybody's find count. If you want to know how many finds someone has, just click their username and look at their profile! I think Gof even wanted them removed from there. Don't think I would log into the forums if that was implemented. But I kind like the find count in the logs. I have a guard rail hide that gets a lot of DNF's from the under 200 find folks, and I do not mean this in a derogatory manner, it is just what I observed. I tend to ignore those DNF's. If I get a couple from the over 1,000 finds folks then I probably schedule a check. Having the count right there in the log saves a bunch of clicking. Quote Link to comment

+lamoracke Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) the find count has some value in the log as its a snapshot. Sure, you have 4600 finds for example when you log the cache, but its nice to know what cache # find that was. Was it your first find? Some folks log all their caches with a parentheses with the cache # find at the end for that reason, so they know what find that was for them, for whatever reason they do that for. I am not saying the cache pages should or should not have that number, but there is value to that (number) field to a lot of cachers out there. If you look back at a cache years from now, your find count then does not reflect your finds when you actually logged it. I think it interesting to read cache logs when I know its their first find or so..and not just when a cacher only logs 1 find and then quits, perhaps that 1 find because 4600 years later!

Still would be nice if they would allow you to toggle your count off. Especially since they've put so many added features for the numbers people recently. And this is an easy request.

+De Wijngemachtigde Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I want to see the number of founds of logging cachers, including my own find count. Good that the removal is only temporary. Now I can use the same silly argument here as well, for anybody that doesn't care about numbers: You DON'T HAVE TO look at my find count (or anybody's find count for that matter).

cliff_hanger Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I like the find count. If a couple of cachers with only a few finds DNF one of my caches I don't worry so much about it. If a couple of cachers with hundreds of finds DNF one of my caches, I go out and check on it. Quote Link to comment
+fuzziebear3 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The find counts were always there, and had some value. The avatars are the new part, and require a lot more bandwidth to download. I would think that means the slowness is due to the avatars, not the find counts. I'd rather see the find counts, and really don't care about the avatars. The page was easier to read without them.

+de Hunters Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The Final Count is back on the page, the Challenge Count is shown seperately ... full date is back on the page and with your profile it's shows Founds and Challenges seperately...
