Why No Progress Checker for Souvenir Promotion

[+K13]

Why isn't there a progress checker for the Wheel of Challenges? How can I easily determine where I am along the way to the number required?

Yes, I agree - I have just looked at the 'friends leaderboard' which used to be the 'go to' list to check out where you were at with these souvenir challenges - and that seems all over the place too

Currently it shows 'week of' and is giving todays date - understandable I guess as it is a Monday 
However it only shows the 11 caches I found today - none of the ALs

Clicking on the Week of 17/4/2023 it gives you options - this week and last week 

Clicking on last week it shows I have found 7 ALs - dated 17/4/23 - the ones I found today !!!
I didn't find these before mid-day so can't see this as a PST/BST time-frame thing 
Though it does seem similar to the issue that I brought up regarding searching using the date found filter (as per the attached link)

There absolutely should be one, but this cool script counts for you, including ALs https://project-gc.com/Challenges//76697

How do you find scripts like that?  When I go to project-gc's search page for challenge checkers https://project-gc.com/Tools/Challenges, I only see checkers for challenge caches, not for things like the Wheel of Challenges.

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting this. I had no idea how to check rather than simply doing a manual count.

It's not a checker that's associated with a challenge so won't be found by a challenge search. Scripts can still be made and run independently. It was put together by @Hügh to help specifically with this statistical anomaly

It was mentioned in the forums.

Aha, thanks.

I know it's not the same, but the official app shows the find count in the profile tab as a sub text of the statistics link. I expect it will serve as a checker for the next challenges as well...

That text counts finds in the current month, ie. April 1 - 30. However, the promotion only runs April 3 - 30 (first Monday to last Sunday.) So that count is not correct. 
 

Also, it has always shown finds in the current month, so I doubt they will make any changes for the future challenges.

Oh, I didn't know that. I use the official app mainly for messaging...

On the other hand, I couldn't find the monthly count in the GC statistics via web, so it seems the only Checker is getting the souvenir or running some 3rd party scripts.

In the Finds Per Month section on your Statistics page, scroll to the far right and hover your mouse over the current month:

 

 

This also includes finds on the first two days of the month which aren't in the current promotion, so you'll need to manually subtract those.

Has anyone made a checker for the out and about challenge?

See:

 

 

If I create any checkers for future wheel Challenges, I'll post them over in that thread.

Awesome thank you for sharing! This will be extremely helpful.

Tomorrow starts the period for the new solstice-souvenir (21 found-logs between the 18th and de 24th of june).

 

Does anyone know if there is such a checker available as for the wheel of challenge-checkers?
