I compared it with an old KML file from years ago and I see what you mean - you need a closed polygon (which I thought I had) not a path/line.

If I can work out how, I'll add that info to the wiki...

It uploads now and is mostly ok. Expect the caches on this page http://geocaching.com.au/zone/caches/2906/ aren't all on this page http://geocaching.com.au/zone/gmap/2906/ - should they show the same caches?

Thanks for your patience. There was a bug where only GCA caches were being shown on the map zone. This should now show up all caches in the zone.

I am not sure where to put this question. Why don't my international cache finds appear on my statistics ? Is there a setting I should have changed / ticked a box somewhere ?

Also is there any way to have statistics for : GA only / GC only / GC & GA together

thanks
:D

We auto collect for Australia only. Import your finds via this method to get them all here quickly. http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Uploading_logs

DO NOT IMPORT CORRECTED CO-ORDINATES :-)

We collect stats from a lot of sites, so as we're GCA, we offer GCA and "everything". It is not viable at the moment to separate GC from the crowd of OpenCaching, Navicache and Terracache.

You collect stats from Terracaching?

We found four Terracaches before giving up on that site, and those finds don't show up here.

You have to import them yourself via gpx

I swear I've done this right, but this, http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga7523 , won't publish for me. Is it because I am using one of the reusable caches sorted in a forum a few months ago?

If it being reused you may need to unarchive the old one first??

Yep - I think that is what it was. Duh! ](*,) Oh well, I ended up just making new ones. I'll reuse them later.
Thanks. :D

http://geocaching.com.au/dashboard/au/nsw/, how often does that get updated?

Real time or once per day?

If real time then there is a problem with it....

Once a day starting at around 3:00am. It runs extremely long so some days it never finishes. The new server will resolve the long running issue.

A small issue I've noticed with the listing of caches. If you put the tag <p style="font-size:20px"> in the cache description it stays there for the cache page but it you edit it again it gets removed. Hence you have to re-enter it every time you edit the cache.
