+funkymunkyzone Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Completed a 2 day streak so far - one cache find and one ad lab - but no souvenir received. I can't tell from the description of this month's streak challenge - maybe ad labs don't count this month? Anyone else having an issue? 8 2 Quote Link to comment
+nachtmusik Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I understood that July 3 was the first day of the challenge. Is it already July 4 for you? Quote Link to comment

+barefootjeff Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 The date-stamping of ALs has always been wonky in parts of the site, either a day ahead or a day behind depending on where you live. You probably found it tomorrow. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

You probably found it tomorrow. Yeah I was worried about that last month with the logging on 20 individual days, but it seemed to all work perfectly. If it doesn't work this month though, that's going to entirely mess with the whole streak challenge - I have found and logged on 2 consecutive days but it doesn't recognise it... :/ 2 Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Out working on the first day of the challenge, with Finley Dolphin. We went to a park with a number of new caches. Got our FTFs on our first hunt. Bushwhacked to the next nearby cache. Heard a voice behind us. "Are you geocaching?" "Yes." Chatted as we went on. We all got a FTF on that cache. Young kid... He is almost 60 years younger than me! EEK! We went home. He continued on to the other new caches. 2 Quote Link to comment
+barefootguru Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Same for me in Aotearoa, but with 2 physicals. Despite my Stats page claiming 'Statistics last generated a few seconds ago.', my Current Streak still has yesterday's date. No souvenir yet either. I logged them through the website after creating drafts in Cachly. It's a tedious challenge, there's no official checker, and now the souvenir and stats page are faulty. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+feathertop Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Same here visiting NZ. logged physical caches on 3rd and 4th and even just logged a cache on the 5th. Not a souvenir in sight... so frustrating 1 Quote Link to comment
+lee737 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Same here.... We found a handful of physical caches yesterday (3 Jul 23), and an AL tonight (approx 0750 UTC 4 Jul 23), but no souvenir. 3 Quote Link to comment
+CacheMySoul Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Having the same issue here in Sweden - one trad found yesterday, one LAB stage at 8AM CET this morning. Stats on official site says streak of two days (after a bit of delay, I might add), but no souvenir. What about events - will they count? 1 Quote Link to comment

+barefootguru Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 My stats streak has now updated… because it's past midnight Seattle time? But still no souvenir. 4 2 Quote Link to comment
+ilTozzo Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Same here. Two Adventure Lab logs, one yesterday and one today. They are registered with the correct dates on the site, and in the statistics section a two-day streak starting yesterday is correctly registered. Still, no souvenir 5 1 Quote Link to comment

+Lowin Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I'm in the UK. Found 6 yesterday, 3rd, around 8pm UTC (9pm BST). Have logged 2 finds today, just after 12 noon UTC, (1pm BST) so, now into 4th. No souvenir for me either. Maybe Seattle isn't working as it's July 4th? But I shall be annoyed if it doesn't credit the souvenir! Used precious local geocaches for the start of this streak! 3 Quote Link to comment

+Odberger Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Same for me and a friend in Sweden... Anybody at HQ that can confirm that it's not working and that you are working on the issue? It would be really stupid if it's all based on Seattle time and not actual LOCAL time and dates when logging the caches for the challenges, weather it's physical or labs! 2 Quote Link to comment

We are told we can track our streak for this promo on the app, and like others have mentioned mine says I have a two-day streak and that I have found two geocaches this month. But when I click on statistics I get this 2nd message which indicates to me that adventure labs are not counted and go find a geocache. Probably I'm reading more into the message than they meant.

+zmesvk Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Fourth Challenge : Streak Star - does that count adventure labs?

+thebruce0 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 It's the 3rd and the 4th for the streak, so it's the first day of possibly earning the streak, and it depends on whether they made it logs only or included ALs, and the 4th is a holiday in the US. So... Patience. But, this is a good example of why more complexity in a hobby introduces more margin for error and bugs. If geocaching were still just finding containers, signing logs, and posting records online, it'd be soooo much simpler 4 1 Quote Link to comment
+geopoodledoxie Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I found a traditional cache on 07/03/2023 and one on 07/04/2023. I did not get my souvenir. 1 Quote Link to comment

If geocaching were still just finding containers, signing logs, and posting records online, it'd be soooo much simpler I agree that adding functions and expanding the game opens up for more potential incidents. However adding content and function to a game in order to keep it interesting for veteran players and attracting new audiences I would see as a positive. There is obviously a substantial interest in challenges, souvenirs and making various goals tied to the statistics. I am however slightly peeved about the quality of some of these new features and events. They seem to often lead to a bunch of questions and, in my opinion, half-hearted implementations. 1 Quote Link to comment

+Harry Dolphin Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 As long as they don't take away my APE Cache souvenir when they fix this problem. I found the Crab Creek APE cache in 2005. 1 Quote Link to comment
+thebruce0 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Yeah the fix may not be easy; if they remove the souvenir it has to be for people who have it would have not found any APE cache. Special case souvenir data correction. Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 HQ is aware of the issue. They sort of fixed it, but it was awarding the wrong souvenir. But... it's a holiday here in the US, so don't expect a fix today. I'm sure they'll get it sorted out tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment
+lee737 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 We're bailing on the hard souvenir this month.... sitting down last night trying to plan out how we'd do it after our holiday, multiple after work drives to the same place for AL locs etc... . feels like a lot of work and pressure, became un-fun.

+two bison Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Five physical caches found July 3rd. Eight physical caches found today July 4th as of 1:34 PM PDT. Stats show: "Current Streak 2 consecutive days with finds since 07/03/2023" No souvenir as of 5:26 PM PDT 1 Quote Link to comment
+two bison Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I did a streak of 34 days once and found that it soon began to feel like work. I might try to finish the medium version here but I already know I've no interest in the the "Hard" version. Last month it was caching 20 days out of 28 available and got a bit tedious. Now, with 35 days available they switch it up to a 28 day streak. WUWT? I can see the hamsters chortling in the balcony seats saying, "Let's see how high they'll go when we say, 'Jump" " The folks working on 366 day streaks, or lifetime streaks won't be bothered by or encouraged by this challenge. I'll be interested to learn the number of folks not previously mentioned who finish the Hard version here. Cache on, it's all fun. 3 2 Quote Link to comment
+OusKonNé & Cétyla Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 After 2 consecutive days, I also had the "Project A.P.E. Cache" souvenir... lol Maybe after 7 consecutive days, we will get the "Geocaching Headquarters" souvenir... 7 Quote Link to comment

+Alma Aurea Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Has anybody received a souvenir yet? I currently have a 2 day streak and just checked to see if i have the 'easy' souvenir, but nothing. It'll be hard enough for me to achieve even the 'medium' challenge souvenir this month without the whole thing being glitchy! :( 2 Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Jeddak Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Just found my 3rd day cache, but still no souvenir for me either. Has anyone contacted Groundspeak about this already? 1 Quote Link to comment
