Does the lab cache type not count as one of the 11 I did in one day?

Question

Yesterday we did 11 types of caches but for some reason our lab cache does not show as 1 of the 11.

Answer 1

Do you have Labcaches explicitly activated in your profile stats?

If you are PGC-Premium member, you can do so: above the profile stats you can expand the "settings" and "include lab caches".

If you have: when did you find the labs yesterday? If you are in a timezone far away from UTC, logging a lab cache might shift that find to the previous or next day. You cannot do anything about that, it's a groundspeak issue.

Totally worked except yep the labs are dated as today instead of yesterday... Is there a way to fix that with ground speak?

Sadly, no.
Nobody knows why they are not logged in the respective timezone, many people had the same problek on leap day this year. The issue is known for at least a year.

I believe the timezone cut over is Pacific time (where GS is based).

If that was true my log should be accurate then do to me living 20 miles from HQ

If I recall correctly, there were people from PST and farther west, as well people in Australia/NZ, where this problem occured on Leap Day.

Lab caches are logged with UTC date, which would make sense if McTigueTowne's labs are being counted fot the next day (PST is -7, so any log after 5 pm PST results in a new day)

Lab caches can ruin milestone stats as well due to this problem. They only "match" your log order, if you are in a +/-0 timezone to UTC.

The problem is slightly more complex, in that Lab Caches are logged on PGC as UTC, but Groundspeak log them using PST so there is often a discrepancy between GS and PGC stats due to this.

Does this mean I could ask pgc to manually change the dates on the logs they have since my ground speak ones are correct
