I just checked my first cache on 8/2/2002.  It shows 125 logs.  I had 128m
this morning at 7:00 AM.  It was even on the SLAGA Member Stats.  None of
this makes any sense.  For example, on 3/29/03, we did 9 caches that day.

Here are the log totals shown for each cache (128, 125, 127, 127, 125, 127,
125, 125, 125).  These numbers (125, 127, and 128) are everywhere in all my
caches.  What I would like to know is how GC.com does this?  The bottom line
is:  I had 128 and got 5 today.  That should equal 133.

Oh well, I'm going to bed.  How do I contact GC.com to get this resolved?
Glenn, can you help?

Bill

It is suppose to do that.. Your total on the page will update as soon as a
new entry is written. There is no way of seeing a count different on each
one you find.. If you look at you very first cache, it will show you total
as of the last log entry and not the find number of the cache..
