Ad Lab bug

[+ErewashPaddler]

Apologies if this has already been noted, but it's a new one on me.

Next week I am going to Lincoln (England) where there are six Ad Labs in the city centre. I have not started any of them. 

I was checking the app yesterday and looked at Lincoln, and saw that there were now only five. Okay, I thought, maybe one has been deleted. I also checked on nearby Newark, where there are two Ad Labs, but only one appeared.

Today I went back to the app, but this time I unchecked "Hide Completed" in my Profile Settings. And now there were six in Lincoln again, and two in Newark. I have had a play around, and I have been able to replicate this several times. 

 

The problem is that this means that I effectively cannot hide my completed labs, as I don't know what else I may be hiding.

I have noticed once that a started ALC displayed as completed.

I've had this happen too. Was standing right at the coords for a lab and it wasn't showing on my app. I only knew it was there because it was showing on cachly. Changed to "Show Completed" and it appeared. I hadn't even ever opened it before so it has nothing to do with whether I started it or not. I didn't do the lab due to both time constraint and lack of interest since the API was shut down. But nevertheless, the bug still showed itself.

Wow, thanks for pointing this out. I never would have realized this had anything to do with flipping a simple, unambiguous switch even though, now that you mention it, I've had a few times in the last week were I couldn't find an adventure that I thought should be there.

and why not implementing a different icon for started but not completed ALCs ?

Same here... Another workaround for me is logging out, and then refreshing the screen so that I see all adventures. After this, I log in and then don't refresh the screen, so I can start the adventure. I hope this gets fixed soon!

I have the same problem. I had already found out that logging out or showing all labs can be used to reveal the missing, but not played labs.

 

One thing I also found out that the same labs, which are missing at Adventure lab app, are also missing at Geocaching app. So, the same problem occurs with both apps. Therefore, I think there is a problem on server side which have marked some labs as found even if they are not.

Meh. I didn't find the feature to be important, so I just turned off the option that suppressed found ALs.
