Re: Report GCA Site issues here
I just discovered Caches per sqkm/population, however I'm not sure that it's calculating quite correctly.
http://geocaching.com.au/stats/graphs/a ... population
(In addition, there is a typo, that the table heading says 'Cachers'.)
State: ACT
Caches per 1,000sqkm: 677.00
Caches per 1,000 head of population: 0.40
Based on 1354 active caches from http://geocaching.com.au/stats/graphs/a ... s_by_state,
that gives the ACT an area of 2000sqkm (which is roughly correct), however, 0.4 caches per 1000 people would give a population of 3.385 million which is obviously incorrect.
I note also that the same data is given whether GCA Only or All Sources is selected (or indeed what other options are selected at all).
Cheers
Mark

Re: Report GCA Site issues here
3,402,000 actually.
Fat finger syndrome.
Strangely no-one has noticed this before
I think I've fixed it.
Oh and made the source selector work.
I only cared about Australia, so the other selectors don't do anything but I'm lazy

Re: Report GCA Site issues here
I use <http://forum.geocaching.com.au/syndication.php?> to feed my RSS reader. Every so often - most recently at some time between 09:16 and 09:51 Perth time - the feed gets errors and posts look like this:
I'm guessing the <> are being hidden by disgruntled faeries When this happens, all the broken posts show up as undetectable duplicates of already seen posts - and they are hard to read if they are new
It would be handy if I saw more than the most recent 10 posts in the feed as well, sometimes a burst of posts in less time than the feed check interval means some get missed ...
Thanks for all your efforts.

Re: Report GCA Site issues here
NFI
That code is from the HTML of the page, not the data in the database so I have no idea how it got out there.
I'll look more, but that one is weird.
Please continue to report it as we may be able to spot a pattern if we get enough examples.
Add count=nn (where nn is a reasonable number please) to get more than the default 10.

Re: Report GCA Site issues here
Looking back recently, I see the same stripped <> issue at the following times:
ie. message "A" was posted on the forum at 09:19:28, I polled shortly after that (certainly before 09:35:09) and got message "A" fine. At least one poll sometime between 09:35:09 and 09:38:18 got at least one broken message, then a poll after 09:38:18 got unbroken messages again.
I think the RSS reader was checking about every 20 minutes.
Might correlate to server load and a script timing out?
Thanks for the count= tip.
Cheers.

RE: GC Caches by Hidden Date Range (500 caches per query) for WA.
Noted that WA hasn't been updated since 18 July 2010?? while the rest of some other states has updated to Sept, Oct, Sept variously.

Re: Report GCA Site issues here
That's not the last updated time, just the date you need to get the most from your query.

Re: WA Range:
17 July 2010 to 27 Nov 2010 456 caches
28 Nov 2010 76 caches
It was previously stated 17 July 2010 - without update from that said date and now it has been updated to 28 Nov 2010. That's what I am trying to mention about it.
Thanks for that.

Dashboard for Western Australia
Scroll down to "Awaiting First Find"
There are only new caches namely "The Albany 100: 1 to 65 (placed 28 Nov 2010) were shown up and there are missing caches: 66 to 100 (placed 28 Nov 2010) were not published in the list in "Awaiting First Find" as yet.
Is there any problem with them?
Thanks in advance

The WA feed needs some tweaking, it should come right over the next week.

Re: Report GCA Site issues here
Hmmm, did the recent RSS dupe log fix break something else? I receive two duplicate logs on two separate moveable caches today. They were both "Found" logs. One had the new coordinates (i.e. should've been a Moved log), the other was a regular Found log.
See here:
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2646
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga2644
Has this happened to anyone else?

Re: Report GCA Site issues here
They are duplicate logs in the system, someone's got a bit Click happy
RSS fix had nothing to do with the logging subsystem
