How do I fix the difference between geocaching and PGC finds in my account

0 votes
556 views
My current stats on Geocaching.com is +1 more find than the ProgectGC stats. I have tried the self support and update stats, but it made no difference. This difference has been there for some time.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Its a regular sized D1.5/T1.5 traditional cache that you found sometime in 2011. Possibly a double log seeing as that was possible back then?

edit: And it was found on either 18 or 19 April - strangely, your finds by day for those 2 dates vary considerably between gc.com and pgc.com (39/41 on gc.com vs 30/49 on here) but the net difference is 1 cache.

It looks like there's a bug in the statistics on Geocaching.com - when I look at your profile, in the Geocaches Found tab it says 6255 Traditionals, but clicking on that gives a list of Traditionals found which states "Total Records: 6254"

That typically means that one of the caches you have logged has been redacted. When that happens, that cache is not visible to Project-GC at all. Its cache page can't be seen on geocaching.com either, but it is still included in the find count there.

Find bad logs does not show anything wrong, so I assume this is some cache that was retracted after publication and therefore it is not exposed to the API. This is a problem, that geocahing.com statistics cover these caches, but they are not visible to anyone else. You should probably contact geocaching support if there is a way to resolve that. If that is so, there is nothing that PGC can do about that.
