+The A-Team Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I would like the summary shown at the top of a cache listing's log entries to look like this: I'd prefer not to have that on every listing page worldwide. It would only be relevant for listings in a relatively-small region of the US and a handful of other caches worldwide. It would be (IMO) useless for every other listing. For that matter, I'd actually like that line to go away entirely, because it adds unnecessary clutter (which TPTB are on a crusade against at this time). The total number of logs is irrelevant, can be easily estimated at a glance, and can be calculated by adding the individual log type counts if someone is interested in the exact total. It's named wrong currently anyway. "Visits"? Not every log type involves a visit to the cache. They're not "visits", they're "logs". Quote Link to comment
+frinklabs Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 How about this? That takes away the incorrect naming and compacts the display. I think that a separate indicator of unique finders might be helpful if they're going to allow multiple Found It logs, from the perspective of stats. Someone indicated in the other thread that the fake total causes the cache listing to inappropriately float to the top of most-found cache lists. Using the unique finders stat instead would normalize that list, no? Quote Link to comment

Someone indicated in the other thread that the fake total causes the cache listing to inappropriately float to the top of most-found cache lists. Using the unique finders stat instead would normalize that list, no? I think determining the number of unique finders would cause quite some extra work. Moreover, 4500 finds are by far not enough to to float to the top of most found cache lists. The most found cache in Prague has more than 19000 finds and the most found cache in Berlin more than 16000 finds. The lists in Ohio might be skewed, but people there know the reason anyway. 4435 finds are just sufficient for rank #89 for caches in the Czech republic and for rank #101 in Germany. If taking all European countries into account, the rank would be much higher and the cache would definitely not be within the 250 most visited caches.

+edscott Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 .. geezzzz and I thought 3 "found it" logs on the same cache was excessive. http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC1F6Y0_higher-learning?guid=106e1f5d-3f51-448c-9809-7de487faf8e0 Quote Link to comment
