That happened to me once, Barry. I once posted a log saying the cache terrain rating should be a 1.5, not a 1 since it was a drive up, but not wheelchair accessible. I then downloaded the “My Finds” PQ.

The CO got pissed and deleted my log. I re-posted my log with a cut and paste “TFTC”. Then downloaded another “My Finds” PQ. The result was 2 finds for that one cache in my database. I ended up deleting that database and making a whole new one so my stats would be accurate.

We tried this method and it did the trick. We just deleted everything in the database, reloaded the “finds” PQ, and it’s now correct. Thanks to all who offered ideas. We learned a couple of things in the process. 😀

WOW!!!! That’s definately using a sledgehammer to pound in a thumbtack (or at least it would be for me). I use GSAK to track tons of additional information like additional WP’s for multi’s, puzzle solve data, final coordinates, etc. I’d be screwed if I deleted my entire master GSAK database. I actually use about 5 databases with GSAK to shuffle / massage the data, but have 1 master database to track everything.

This is why you’re the WGA Webmaster. 🙂 You can figure all that stuff out. We just use the “our finds” database as a backup to keep track of our finds. The things you mention…wow, we have a lot to learn. Thanks for your help!

Ed- you’d love my database- errr…..databases.

I’ve 3 different computers running GSAK and multiple databases on each them. Some overlap but my purpose so far has been to use it to load caches. Things may be changing as this week, I loaded and used macros for the first time.

Following the signals from space.
