Why is there a difference between my DT grid here and in geocaching.com?

Question

Total finds are correct but there is one less 2/5 and one more 3/5 on the project GC stats than on the Geocaching.com stats (which are correct).  Would also like to know if it can be fixed. Thank you.

Since it's clear a 3/5 was changed to a 2/5 I placed a manual refresh on all the 2/5s you've logged according to Geocaching.com, this should solve the issue at the next rendition of stats.

Thank you so much!  I was looking at the Geocaching app on my phone and thought I had just got my 17th grid then noticed I didn't in Project GC and thought "oh no!".  I ran a search in Geocaching and it listed 17 2/5s so I know it's correct.

This is most likely due to some CO changing the D/T rating for a cache after you have logged it but Project-GC hasn't yet detected the change (this does not happen immediately). If you know which cache this is, you can request a refresh for it using Support -> Self-support. If you don't, it will eventually correct itself once Project-GC detects the change (could take a month, more if the cache is archived).

Thank you!  I was told early on not to change ratings, at least for the tougher D's or T's, for this very reason.  And it's impossible to figure out which one got changed unless you track every cache.  PS - love your name :)

@TheBoz5: You can use the Project-GC tool to track the changed D/T-ratings.

The cache that was changed is https://coord.info/GCA8YN4

Oh wow, thank you!  That's incredibly helpful, good to know I don't have to manually track anything (I was seriously considering it!)
