+ODragon Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 On my stats page it says I have found 12 TB, 2 Mtnbike coins, 2 USA Geocoins and 1 Jeep bug (total 17 bugs). (See image below) However, on the detailed list, it shows a total of 20 travellers found, see below. It appears that 3 bugs are not being shown for some reason. Any idea why? Link to comment
+Kite and Hawkeye Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) The obvious complicating factor could be multiple logs on a single bug -- ever done that? Do you recall finding any bugs other than the ones on the list? Edited May 8, 2005 by Kite and Hawkeye Link to comment

Do you recall finding any bugs other than the ones on the list? Yes I have but that's not the complicating factor. They don't appear to be taking that into consideration. I count 15 differently named travel bugs but it says I've only found 12. Link to comment
+Team LightningBugs Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Did you post a note instead of a retrieval or grab log for any bugs? It might be that posting a note will add a bug to your listing, but not the total found. Link to comment

After looking, it doesn't appear that you can get a bug using a note. You have to use the "found it" in order to grab it. I believe I did it the correct way each time. That was a great idea though.

+PeterNoG Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Posting a note for whatever reason (such as "___ TB is definately not in ___ cache. It is MIA") will add the TB to the list when you seach for "Found" TBs. The search should more accurately described as "Search for Bugs (that I don't own) but that have some sort of log entry by me".

I posted a picture to one i never had and had two marked missing... So the below is a little misleading as I didn't actually find that many. I found and made notes in that many... Search Travel Bugs By Username (found): odragon [new search] Thanks to all who helped me solve this... Link to comment
+CompuCash Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 interesting subject - I checked mine - status shows 27 but there are 28 different TB's in the listing. also another question - I can't find a legend to the symbols - 1 - cubes - gray bkgnd 2 - cubes - green bkgnd 3 - faces - green bkgnd 4 - faces - gray bkgnd what do these mean? 5 - question mark for unknown is petty obvious ok after some playing I see the cube means it is in a cache - the face means a person has it - so what do the backgrounds mean? cc\ Link to comment
+Team LightningBugs Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I believe the green background means the bug has had recent activity, the grey means it hasn't been logged / placed / found / whatever in some time. I think the cut-off is two weeks, but I'm not sure about that. Link to comment
+CompuCash Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 sounds logical and reasonable - thanks - cc\ Link to comment
