+Xienix Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Till first of October 2021 I had 11 hidden caches: 2 traditional, 1 multi, 3 mysteries, 1 Lab-cache (with 5 points) So it looks Lab-caches are counted in the overview. On October 9th I placed my second Lab-cache (with 5 points) but until now (2 months later) I still have 11 hidden caches. I think it should be 16 now. Am I thinking wrong or is there somewhere a bug ?? Quote Link to comment

However as you will see from the discussion below even after they find it your counts may be off. https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/364047-owned-cache-stats-numbers-not-adding-up/ Edited December 12, 2021 by Max and 99 Quote Link to comment
+Xienix Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Yes, already 24 Adventure completed (37 participants and in total 156 Locations completed). The first Lab-cache has a bonus, the second Lab-cache not. Could that be the problem?? Quote Link to comment

+Isonzo Karst Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Updating hide count tends to be very slow around Labs owned. The best solution seems to be wait. Most of those who have complained see this come right in a month or so. Quote Link to comment

Most of those who have complained see this come right in a month or so. Still strange. As the screenshot by @Xienixshows, the numbers for the individual cache types are correct, only the sum is not. As a software developer, I just wonder why the number shown as "Total Caches Owned" is not simply calculated as the sum of all the individual numbers above. Doesn't look like rocket science to me. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 You can find this same illustration in many threads in the bug report forum. Typically hide count off by 5. Here's one. There are more like it. Quote Link to comment
+Xienix Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) FYI: I contacted Geocaching HQ with this bug: Answer: Thank you for contacting Geocaching HQ. We are aware of the incorrect cache hide count on personal profile. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to get this issue resolved soon.
