It appears the number of finds a cacher has are no longer listed on the individual cache pages. Did I miss an announcement about this somewhere in the geocaching.com forums? I just looked and did not see anyone else discussing it.
I just noticed that myself. Don’t care for it, really. I enjoy seeing the number of finds next to cacher(s) names. They also changed some information on the bottom the cache location pages as well.
Here’s the announcement.

We noticed too. We liked seeing the number of finds by the cacher’s name
IMHO, the performance improvement on the geocaching.com site that resulted from making the cache pages static is wonderful.
While I also certainly liked seeing the number of finds on the logs, I’m certainly willing to loose them for the sake of getting such a performance improvement. Its easy enough to click on the cacher’s name to see their profile if we’re really interested in seeing how many finds they have.
I notices the change in format but not in performance. Maybe my PC is getting dated.
Alan, do you know what’s up with html links in the cache pages? I put several links in my OIT Trailside cache page, but after Jeremy made his aforementioned updates this past Sunday, the links no longer work. I had to delete the “http://” portion of the URLs so the whole page didn’t get messed up, but now visitors will have to cut and paste those addresses into their browers instead of clicking on the links.
Links in logs still work, but make sure you end them with a space before any punctuation. The log formatter places some formatting after the link, and if there is no space the link gets confused. Post or email me an example of one of your messed up logs if you like, and I’ll take a look. Or just try reposting the log ending the link with a space. BTW, just type in the link, no html tags are needed.

OK, the space was the problem. I went in and fixed it. Thanks for the advice. (BTW, it worked fine for several days and then suddenly was messed up starting Sunday evening. Weird.)
I see that the number of finds has now been restored! Looks like people really missed it as much as I did! Ya gotta keep up with how many Lil Otter is up to .

You just have to remember that the count displayed on a log is only as accurate as the last time that cache page was updated. If a cache does not see any activity, all the counts on all of the logs will be laging behind. But its better than nothing
