+showbizkid Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Any have an explanation for this: When I review cache pages for caches I've found in the past, the "# Found" count varies and there's no rhyme or reason why. Example: (I have 40 finds as of yesterday) On my very first find, it reads "5 Found." On the 10th cache, it reads "25 found." On my 20th find, it reads "20 Found." On my 30 find, it reads "33 found." So, the number of caches found is all over the place. Is this number updated at some point - end of the week - and a cumulative number posted? Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Your find count is consistant on your profile. However your count on each cache page is only updated when the page itself is updated. By a new log for example. Quote Link to comment
+Smitherington Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Yes, util someone posts a find, not found, note, etc, the page doesn't update. When someone does, the numbers are all correct again. If it bugs you I suppose you could post a note then delete it. Quote Link to comment

+Tsegi Mike and Desert Viking Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Does that work if you edit your original log entry. That way the *watchers* of the cache will not be annoyed.

Wouldn't that be alot of work to go back and edit each log for each cache you've found every time just to make sure your log numbers stay current? E Always remember that you are unique.

+Sabaharr Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have noticed that too and wondered what was up, but did not expend too much energy on it. As was said before, the user stats page is always correct so I just go by that when looking up my stats or other users. Life is like being on a dog sled team. If you are not the lead dog the view is always the same. Complacancy is feeding a tiger steaks while waiting for him to become a vegitarian. Quote Link to comment

I think there must be another way of updating, since a disabled cache that hasn't had a log since April shows my counts correct as of last weekend. Maybe there is a periodic process that runs to update all counts? Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 If someone adds or removes the cache from their watchlist, or logs a travel bug in or out of the cache, these are other ways for the page to re-generate, in addition to someone posting or editing a log. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x Next time, instead of getting married, I think I'll just find a woman I don't like and buy her a house.
