Nearest benchmark page bug


MOCKBA

Recommended Posts

Nearest marker page doesn't show any found date / found status for a BM

(

http://www.geocaching.com/mark/nearest.asp?origin_lat=40.45951355&origin_long=-112.626320975 for http://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.asp?PID=LP0457 )

How it happened: first the BM was logged as found, but the find wasn't valid by today's standarts (only RM disk found). Then a not-found entry was added. Then the original 'found' log was deleted.

Now, even though a 'not-found' log is still there, nothing shows up at the search page.

But instead of a date then, there should be a purplish sad face icon on the search page. Look e.g. at LP0068 at the same search page http://www.geocaching.com/mark/nearest.asp?origin_lat=40.45951355&origin_long=-112.626320975

It also got a single log entry, also 'not found', and you can surmise just that from the search page. The situation is quite different for LP0457. This one looks as if it has never been visited at all on the search page. That's *not* how it is supposed to work.

Yes, I see what you mean. It certainly looks like a bug. I have a benchmark that I logged by mistake (meant to log a different one) so I deleted the log. It still shows up when I show all benchmarks that I have found from my profile stats page even though there are no geocaching logs on it at all. I suspect there are other annoying little creatures lurking about the benchmarking pages. Hopefully when the benchmarking section floats to the top of Jeremy's priority list, they can all be found and squashed. Along with some nice improvements. icon_smile.gif

There is also presently another problem which needs addressed promptly: Bulk downloads from the "search results page" are failing. It either locks up, or kicks back to the main benchmarking page. This has been occuring for over 24 hours now. It'd be nice to have this fixed for the weekend!
