Duplicate finds

[tronador]

Is there any way of getting rid of duplicate finds that have shown up on my cacher page. I only logged the find once but they appear on My finds twice. Fairies????? Could you remove them please.

Never mind I see you can remove them yourself. Done! But not sure why they appeared in the first place.

I'd had this happen to me a few times as well, over the past couple of years. Could be that accidentally reloading the page causes it.

There was a cache that the owner accidentally deleted my log on, so I relogged it. Every so often someone imports an old GPX file and I get 2 logs for that cache...

That might be why it happening?

I had one recently, I figure it was a page reload did it, the cache owner sent a polite note asking me to remove a log . I clean forgot but the c.o was nice enough to sort it for me.

How do you track down duplicates on GC?

In my stats it says 'You've found 1644 caches (1643 distinct) since your first cache find'. I recently stumbled over one cache that had 2 founds by me so I deleted one ... there's another out there but how do I work out where?

Easy on GCA. Go to your cacher page, in my case

http://geocaching.com.au/cacher/richary

Go to the Statistics tabs and at the bottom of the list is duplicates. That will show you all the caches you have found more than once. In my case there are a lot as I do play with the moveable cache races so have found the same one more than once.

I can't see an equivalent function on GC but you could use the above link and just scroll down until you find one without the GCA logo next to it and that will be your GC duplicate. Doing that I just found one, it was one I relogged as someone hacked the CO's account and deleted some logs, but it looks like it made here twice. So I will have to go and fix that.
