+thomfre Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I would really like to see the following changes to the way Lab Caches work: Lab Cache finds included in MyFinds-PQ and API (so I can get GSAK and Project-GC.com to show the same find counts as geocaching.com) (yes, I admit it, sometimes it is about the numbers) Lab Caches included in the statistics List of Lab Caches I've found, it would be nice to not only see the number, but actually see why the number is there Let the Lab Caches count towards the milestones Quote Link to comment
+Ovaron Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I agree with thomfre. The lab caches are a cool idea, but it screws up the statistics since it counts as find on the find count, but doesn't show on the statistics. What can be done? Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 What can be done? Keystone, 26 08 2013Lab caches are functioning as designed Don't log them? Seriously, DON'T. A nice attempt to re-package the 'challenge' concept, but in the long run most certainly destined to be a 'better mistake made tomorrow'. Unlike the 'challenges', you apparently can't un-kiss the frog. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. If they are going to count, they should count. If not, then they shouldn't. Quote Link to comment
+fam2go Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I just downloaded my pocket query of found caches. The find count in the PQ is 12 less than the count on geocaching.com. It took me awhile to figure out why that was so. It's because I found 12 lab caches at Block Party and those did not get included in the found PQ I downloaded. It sure would be nice to have the lab caches included in the 'my finds' pocket query. Quote Link to comment

These things were explained in threads and even Groundspeak's blog. All said they would add to the find counts but not show on your stats. Don't log them is the best solution if you're concerned with your stats. - Kinda silly to say "what to do?" and ask for changes on something you should have been familiar with before logging.

There is an innocent looking down arrow on the upper right of the screen. Click on it. Click on ">> View Your Logs" Your logs will appear with a trash can icon on the right side. Click and away they go......It is however un-reversible....So be sure this is what you want to do! Quote Link to comment
