+Water Dreaming Woman Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I remember a day when the owner of a Premium Member Only cache had an option on the cache page to view everyone that visited that page. When I went out to look on one of my pages today, I could not find the link. Has that option been discontinued? Quote Link to comment
+fuzziebear3 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yes, that was the Audit Log, and it has been discontinued. 3 Quote Link to comment
+TriciaG Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Discontinued because it only listed people who viewed caches on the website. Cache views through apps, etc. weren't listed, so it was a very incomplete listing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

For years, some members had been asking for the Audit Log to have complete access info, and other members had been asking for it to be eliminated entirely. But the final nail in the Audit Log's coffin was the privacy laws that various governments have been passing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I have to admit that even though I'm glad it's gone, once in awhile like when I publish a new cache, I instinctively go to look at the audit log. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Audit logs were removed 31 Ocober 2019 in response to privacy concerns and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) Announcement Thread - Linky 4 Quote Link to comment

I don't want the people who create the tough puzzle caches to know that I've been beating my head against the monitor trying to solve their puzzles for the last 12 months. I'd rather my stupidity remain anonymous. 2 4 Quote Link to comment

I'd rather my stupidity remain anonymous. I miss the log. In cases similar to yours I would be inclined to offer the befuddled cacher some assistance - if they want it. Personally, I hate asking for help, it's the old map reading thing I guess. Like driving or walking around somewhat lost but can't bring myself to ask for directions, but, if someone offers help (as has often happened, especially in a foreign country) I am grateful to receive it. 3 Quote Link to comment

Be accused of a cache that went missing isn't fun either... Odd to get a "do you need help ?" mail when you simply clicked on a link in a post in these forums too. Quote Link to comment

Never had that happen to me in the last 14 years. Must be a regional thing Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I was contacted once by a CO about why I was on an audit log. I explained that the cache had been linked from these forums. CO wasn't obnoxious, just wondering why all of sudden so many cachers from so many parts of the world were on the page ;-) Obnoxious was the CO who threatened to delete my find on his cache, given that i did NOT show up on the audit log. Accusatory and confrontational, otherwise I might have explained it to him. This was a while back, pre-phone. Instead I didn't respond to his email at all, but posted a new Write Note log with a bunch of pictures from the walk in to and near the cache. 1 Quote Link to comment

Every one that questioned me from the forums were COs in Europe, wondering why people outside the country were "looking" at their cache.... Quote Link to comment
