Wrong year on 'nearest caches in State' result from cache page

[CK1]

If Im on my cache page, and in the upper right corner "Search for nearest caches in TX or ... "

and I click on the TX, all of the results have a date listed year of 2003. (some listed in the future)

The future caches are all events. When you create an event cache, you post the 'listed' date as the date of the event. This way, it stays at the top until the event is held, then it wanders away.

 

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Also, when you search by state (as opposed to by zip code or location) the caches are sorted by date placed. In a large state like TX, you have 50+ new caches a week, so the 1st few pages are gonna all be 2003 (it *IS* 2003 now, remember?).

 

Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.

Hehe

Well I feel silly now.

 

Thanks for putting me in the know.

Of course, that's the cache hider's fault. I emailed him last week about the problem, but haven't gotten any resolution. I guess he likes seeing his cache at the top of the list.
