Would it be possible to extend the statistics about the oldest found caches so that you could also see the statistics about the oldest cache sorted by cache type? I could imagine the implementation similar to the D/T matrix. Thanks a lot

I was just thinking that "Oldest find in each country" would be interesting. Not really sure where the best place for it would be though.

Input on this?

It looks nice. Maybe it would be possible to see the Top10 (or 3) by type?
I like this overall. The only thing that I don't quite like is using number of days for age. I would be more interested in an actual date ("000614"?) but I realize that would require more screen space that perhaps isn't available. The coloring is a nice touch, though.
I like it, would love to see that added! And I agree with pinkunicorn- would prefer years in decimal
This was accidentally released today. The concept is there, but we are still considering some feedback and such. I just missed holding it back upon today's release with other changes.
First of all, I would like to thank you for the integration of my proposal and the quick implementation.
Here are a few comments on the current status.
* There are still a few missing translations in the German version. However, this should not be a big problem with crowdin. [FIXED]
* Furthermore, I have a scroll bar from left to right for about 5 pixels in my statistics.
* Furthermore, in a few years the space for the number of days will not be sufficient, so either the number of days will be cut off or the cache name will be mutilated even further.
* I am still unsure whether it makes sense to indicate the events. Practically speaking, nothing will ever change there, you can't visit older events 8-). This information is also available under the heading "First find by cachetype" in the "Milestones" tab.
* I'm also afraid that there won't be much change in the other cache types/cache sizes if you only give out one cache. In other words, the statistics will be pretty static.

My suggestion would be not to display the new additional statistics in the main tab, but in a new additional (optional?) "Cache history" tab. There, the tables would be displayed over the usual page width, so that in a few years you can also read the 5-digit days without any problems and even today you can already read the entire names. In order to make the whole thing a little more dynamic, I think it would be practical if the respective 2nd/3rd - n. cache types/cache sizes could also be displayed. Cache types/cache sizes.
Perhaps you could also add whether the respective cache is the oldest cache in the respective country or whether there are older caches. However, this could of course also consume quite a lot of computing time, although theoretically you only do this once and can append it to the caches as an additional internal attribute.

Thanks a lot once more
