+Tape worm Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I have a question. I looked thru the forums and didn't see a thread on this. I have been noticing over the past 4 or 5 weeks, that cache listings, that I have never looked at show up in my recently viewed list. They are all over too. Hong Kong, Australia, China, etc. I've changed my password, and it's still happening. I've noticed most of them are PM only caches too. Don't really want some paranoid cache owner asking why I looked at their cache page. Was wondering if this is happening to anyone else, or if it's a known bug. Thanks Tape worm Quote Link to comment
+noncentric Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I haven't noticed the issue. My list of Recently Viewed caches shows only the caches I've looked at. Do you have any apps, besides the official app, that are logged into your geocaching.com account? Quote Link to comment

No I only have the official app. Quote Link to comment

+MartyBartfast Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Are you a member of any facebook geocaching groups, or similar? If you are and someone posts a link to a cache FB will often show you a preview of the cache which will show up in your recently viewed list. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 If you use GSAK to look at caches you get the offline version by default but using split screen you can also go to the "live" page. Internally GSAK uses IE to show webpages. This view will then be added to the list of "recently viewed" caches. Quote Link to comment

When I open a cache in GSAK it is displayed in Firefox, which is my default. Quote Link to comment

(split view format > online page). Quote Link to comment
