Finds Not Showing Up?

[+LongIslandCamper]

I'm still very new to this. I found 2 caches with my phone and logged them right there and then. I see the logs listed both on my phone and on the geocaching website.

 

My problem is that I don't see them listed in my geocaching stat bar or in the "found" section of my user profile.

 

What am I missing?

Please post the GC code of one of your finds.

You need to log them as log type, 'Found it'. You logged them as 'Needs Maintenance'. ...at least the one you posted.

A "needs maintenance" log is NOT a "found it" log - you have to do those logs separately. When I find a cache that could use some work, I usually first log my "found it" log, then I write a "needs maintenance" log.

Thank you. I just went back to the app and did what you said and now it's showing up both in my app AND the website!

 

I guess I hit the little drop down arrow next to "Found It" in the app and just assumed it would have been what I was looking for to log it.

 

Thanks for the help everyone!
