Wrong milestone [closed]

Question

My last milestone is not displaying the cache it should be. The stats are updated, but probably the list is wrong because I found some lab caches that day, and the actual 3500th find does not match with the one registered on geocaching.com. Is there a way to fix this?

Comments

Most of mine are wrong on PGC, mostly to do with the issue of Lab Caches caused by the time stamping problem (PGC using UTC instead of local time)

Answer 1

The lab cache does count within the numbers. So it could be that the labcache disrupted your 3500th find.

Perhaps you should change the found date of your 3500th one day earlier. So you need to decide what is more important for you. The correct 3500th or the found date.

Comments

Changing the date you found it to manipulate statistics is not a good thing to suggest.  People are exploiting way too many loopholes in the game compromising the 'honest' game.

Totally agree. Whilst having the stats showing wrongly is annoying, it's a lesser evil than lying just to manipulate the stats to look nicer.

Answer 2

You can set a fixed milestone at the geocaching.com statistics.
