+FireDiven Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Hello, Last night, I received 2 notification emails from the standard "no-reply" geocaching email address advising that 2 of my geocaches had received new logs, both which were "Write Note" from the same user. I was going to email the user because it appeared that the user was using the write note feature to log their cache, instead of the Found it log. When I started to look for the user, the system said that the user hadn't been online since 2013. I looked at the emails again and it said that these logs were from 2012. Somebody has a bug somewhere. I have included the email header and email text if this helps you figure out what is going on.

+cerberus1 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Seems weird that on the "Dill" one the Write Note is next to their found log of that date. Most of their find logs (on yours) were around July '12, and seems they did all of yours. - Maybe an email (or msg ctr message) to them would help you solve this. They've logged caches though, as late as October of last year. Casual phone cacher probably, never hitting the site (no need to, no caches of their own), they won't show a "Last Visit" past the last time they needed something. Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Some users do forget to log their finds and get around to it months or years later. It happens. Don't worry about it and move on. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 May not really know without messaging them, but it could be as simple as they "revisited" your caches, not realizing it'd be okay to mark it at the later date. We revisit caches with newbies we take under wing (good-sized, easy to find, and there) to learn this odd hobby. Quote Link to comment
+palmetto Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 In admin mode I can see that the log was posted Jun/08/2017 - so the email was appropriate - a new back-dated log was posted. As to why? why back date, why log what reads as a find as a Write Note, you'd have to ask the log owner that. Quote Link to comment
+FireDiven Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Thanks for the tips. Quote Link to comment
