GCA lag.
Are the GCA machines (computers/servers) struggling to cope with the massive activity after the Oz Mega? I ask this because we found a cache on 7 April with a precious 4.5/1.0 rating, but looking at our Diff/Terr grid, it still shows that it is unfilled.

Re: GCA lag.
I'd suggest with the sheer volume of logs coming in over the weekend that yours has not come across to GCA Peter (looking hereseems to confirm that).
Have you tried uploading your my finds query?

Re: GCA lag.
Thanks Mat - is that in the "My Queries" list in GCA (Run Public Query)
Also does that mean that the find count in GCA will be out of sync with the find count on GC.com?

Re: GCA lag.
You run a 'My Finds' query over at geocaching.com and save the GPX file to your computer
Then go to http://geocaching.com.au/my/import and upload the GPX there and all your GC finds will then e in the system.
We only get a small number of logs at a time, events like the mega and surrounding caches may take a bit of time to get sorted

Re: GCA lag.
Thanks, but I got this message when I was uploading the GPX file that I downloaded from GC.com:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 31300450 bytes) in /var/www/site/gca/docroot/my/import/index.php on line 148"
The "My Finds" file was 6.2mb and there is a note on the Import screen that says that I can go upto 8.0mb?

Re: GCA lag.
When caches get many many finds in a day, the problem with a GPX download is that only the last 4 logs are included (from GC). So whatever method feeds this site will miss some logs if it relies on GPX files. One cache I found on the way home already had 16 finds prior to mine on the same day.
After the mega, I ran a My Finds query on GC, imported into a separate GSAK database, ran a filter to only include finds from the last week, then exported that as a GPX which I uploaded here. All my cache logs were up to date on GCA within about 30 minutes of me making my final log on GC.
I tend do the same if a number of caches have been found in one area after a normal event - unless I only have a few to log in which case I just download the individual GPX files then import them to here one by one.

Re: GCA lag.
I have been running regular "Refresh Logs" API calls using my GSAK on a group of caches around the Mega event over the last week or so and uploading them to GCA to try to keep the state stats up to date.
