Log not showing on GCA.com but is on GC.com

Post by BullRacing » 09 February 05 5:57 pm

Hi,

why is it that my logged find on "Toilet Talk" from DEC 26 2004 appears on the GC.com listing but not on the listing here?

Gc.com listing:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... y&decrypt=

GCA listing:
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/gcm1z6

You can see my log appears on the GC site but not on GCA....

Any ideas? Have I logged it incorrectly?

Thanks

If we have some logs already in here and do the above will there be double ups

I currently only have about 30% in this site - for what reason I know not :?

I had some logs on CGA but had 1 that was missing so I did the import. It checks which ones you already have logged here and only imports the missing ones so there was no double ups.
:D

Just do it, it will sort it out for you, it's quite clever.

What I've found in the past though is that while this thingy checks for double-ups, the log import that runs daily and pulls the logs off of GC.com doesn't check for double-ups (unless its been changed).

So that means if you're really eager and you import a log BEFORE the overnight script gets a chance to import it then it will be a double AFTER the overnight script finishes its work. Moral: Don't import todays logs.

or if you really want the leaderboard to reflect straight away, remember to come back and fix them later!

i! have a script that they occasionally run to delete duplicate logs. If you have duplicate logs and attract their attention they will run the script.
