+kurtica Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I have published the AL on 31st but in the leaderboard there is a cacher that found all the stages 12days before this date (19th same month). I did not make this AL public for sure before 31st and also I do not know this one and did not provide private qr, so not sure how this one logged it. It appears as FTF on all stages and first on the AL leaderboard. On the other hand, I checked the profile and there are no lab caches, also no log in AL. Is it somehow possible to delete this person from the leaderboard as he/she clearly could not finish it that date? Quote Link to comment

There's nothing you can do for that on your end. You'll need to contact GCHQ to deal with this one. Sounds like the AL system hiccuped. Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 There's something very odd about the situation. I'd really like to know more, out of curiosity. 4 hours ago, kurtica said: On the other hand, I checked the profile and there are no lab caches, also no log in AL. Nothing odd about this.

+ecanderson Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Perhaps nothing odd about lack of a log in the AL, but if the 'finder' doesn't show any AL in their stats either, then that IS odd. Quote Link to comment

Interesting! @kurtica Is the username on the Leaderboard not that of a friend that you had test your Adventure in Private mode? If you suspect that this is a bug, please send a note, including the name of the Adventure, to the Help Center. During this experimental phase of the Adventure Lab platform, there is no option to remove entries from the Leaderboard. We apologize for the inconvenience.

+Xienix Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Created my first AL this week. Did at home some checks in test mode and let also my wife test it. Everything seems oke but did I enter the correct coordinates? So switch to private mode to use geofencing (which does not work in test mode) and took the bike to go along my 5 waypoints (and answered the questions). Back at home I discovered in the leaderboard that my name was filled in as the FTF and (if I'm correct) have 5 new found caches. Don't think that's oke. So my questions to the developers/community : 1) Please change it so that only in Public mode the leaderboard is filled and caches are counted. 2) Is there a way to remove my own 5 founds from my total? 3) Is there a way to remove my 5 FTF's from the leaderboard?

The whole point of "Private" is that you can invite cachers (friends, beta-testers, etc) to play the AL "as normal" without publishing the AL. 10 hours ago, Xienix said: 2) Is there a way to remove my own 5 founds from my total? Yes. Go to this link: https://labs.geocaching.com/logs (can also be reached from your Profile page: Geocaches tab, then click on "Lab Cache" in the list of your finds). There you can delete any lab cache finds. But be aware that this only affects you lab cache find count on geocaching.com. In the Adventure Lab app, the lab cache location which you just "deleted" are still marked as completed. 10 hours ago, Xienix said: 3) Is there a way to remove my 5 FTF's from the leaderboard?

This doesn't happen on Test mode. That's why you should use the Test mode to Test out the Adventure Lab. Quote Link to comment
+elyob Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Can you test the co-ordinates in Test mode? Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 You can test the coordinates, just not the geofencing, in test mode. Quote Link to comment

On my Android, in Test mode the phone still vibrates when I enter the geofence region even though I can view the question and put in the answer from anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment

Interesting. I'll probably never have the opportunity to experience that but it's good to know. Quote Link to comment
+rragan Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yes, vibrate when entering the geofence region but answerable from anywhere in Test mode. Quote Link to comment

I can confirm this, as I was testing a few things today and was holding my phone in my hand as I drove up to a couple of the locations on my AL. It said "ANSWER" with the ? on the screen the whole time, but it did vibrate when I got within the geofencing radius. Very interesting!! I also noticed that the Adventure was set to "Private" even though I left it off and just created the test. I didn't touch the Public/Private settings! Is that accurate? I want my husband to test it for me, but not prevent him from logging it when it goes public! Quote Link to comment

Once it went public I was able to complete and log it successfully. 1 Quote Link to comment
