    I was wondering why on the recent logs when I or even a few others cachers I know cached outside of state It does not show up? (Only WI cache do)
    I see that Zuma! cached in MN,and AuntieNae posted a note for a Ill Event.
    Just curious…

      I’m not the expert here, but I have been working on logging finds we made yesterday in the Twin Cities after a visit with my parents. I’ve actually logged
      9 African Safari letterbox hybrids, but only 6 got picked up from the log harvester. I think it’s kind of hit or miss with what it will gather and maybe your stuff just got in the “miss” pile?

      If I remember correctly, the harvester needs to be able to “see” your GC.com profile, otherwise it just logs the “Wisconsin” caches.

      to allow this; go to “my account”, click on change info, and cut/paste your Geocaching.com profile link to your account (about halfway down the page).

      If you have already done this and it doesn’t harvest your out of state finds, I would have to defer to the squirrel

      Oh, and T&B, it is kind of a hit/miss on some logs.

      Still checking on that SG. Probably should have emailed you back, but I didn’t have anything to report.

      It appears that I did have my account linked to my profile,but it looks like it got cut short,and when I tried to re link it,it just looks the same.
      example;
      my Gc link is-
      http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=1993cd90-bd7e-4b5a-ac9b-5e3a2668dddd
      but in the paste box it comes up as-
      http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=—-

      the link should fill the entire field.
      sure your pasting to the correct field? (stupid question but have to ask 🙂 )

      redo 🙄
      this area right?

      #1967016

      Yup! Odd that it wouldn’t allow the entire thing.
      did you manually enter it?

      I do also see that your profile is linked as your website. I don’t know if that could be influencing this or not.

      no i just linked it so i dont think that would be the issue because it was doing it before I did it. also i did not manually do it. i copied and pasted.. maybe i will try to manually do it.

      #1967018

      it was harvesting your out of state ones previously?
      hmmm, that I don’t have anything more ideas for.

      TBC??

      See my post above.

      to my knowledge I dont think it ever has (this was brought up to me from a fellow cacher who is having the same isaue) I also tried to put it in manually and it did the same thing as before…

      #1967021

      After digging into this, it looks like there has been a hidden bug for quite a while. I have asked SG to try out a “fix”.
