Updating GCA from GC

stevenwill · Post by **stevenwill** » 27 January 09 9:42 pm

Any ideas:

For some reason it takes forever to update caches I have logged on GC to update GCA - How long should I have to wait before it is updated?

On Monday we completed 13 caches and logged them on that day. GCA Did not log one of these until this evening.

According to counts: I am still out by 3 caches?
GC - 478
GCA - 475
C@work - 469

Is there anyway I can get these to at least reflect the same thing.
A bit anal I know but one of my little quirks

Thank you
Steve

In general (due to the increasing number of caches in Australia) the faeries are fed once a week. In some cases it's more than once a week, but in general it's once a week.

If you would like your stats to be up to the minute, then when you log a cache at GC, go back to the cache page and download the GPX file for that cache. Save the file to your computer. When you've got all of your GPX files head here. http://geocaching.com.au/my/import/

Use the import function to load up your GPX files and your stats will be perfect. You can also do this for any cache logs that are missing.

We're (regrettably) not perfect in this sense and over time, this will get somewhat more problematical.
