+Moose Family Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi there, on the search for a probably lost TB I noticed a user who shows a "Last visit" in year 2013 on the profile page and has logged caches in 2014. How is this possible? Even the use of an app should be recognized as "logged in" also, shouldn't it? Regards, Michael Link to comment

I believe that the 'last visit' date is the date that someone actually went to GC.com and logged in. Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) If they now use an app and never enter the site, the "last visit" will be the last date they logged in. Many never log into the site. See it more with new folks just using the app. Unvalidated emails, (I guess) due to never logging in is an issue with a few a while now. - No way to contact 'em (though if they ever did at one time, that email may work).

+Moose Family Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thank you all for clarifying this. Not what I want to here, but I will have a look where I can make a feature request for a field like "Last used GC" or so This would make something easier to interpret. Link to comment
+Twentse Mug Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 One more illustration why I delete all visit logs of my trackables. Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thank you all for clarifying this. Not what I want to here, but I will have a look where I can make a feature request for a field like "Last used GC" or so This would make something easier to interpret. There is a request for "mandatory email validation" in the Website forum: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=307436 I don't think that the problem with "last visit" can be resolved easily.

cezanne Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 One more illustration why I delete all visit logs of my trackables. I cannot see any connection to this topic which is not about trackables at all. Among 100 logs for trackables I create there might be 1-2 visit logs on purpose that really make sense. Link to comment

I agree with cezanne. "visit" logs for trackables, although they can get out of hand, have nothing to do with the topic of this thread. I've seen "visited" logs for trackables posted by long-time members and it has nothing to do with the "last visited" function. B. Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 While this should have been more a 'trackables' or 'general geocaching' type topic, I will leave it here because the question was answered. Moving this could be counterproductivs, so I will just close it. Link to comment
