Statistics glitch

Hi,

 

I wonder if someone else has a similar problem: There are three locations within Waymarking.com where the number of found Waymarks are shown - and they all tell me different results...

 

1. The "new" statistics page tells me I've found 427 Waymarks

2. The Quick search "Waymarks I've visited" shows 423 found Waymarks

3. The statistics banner shows 425 found waymarks

 

Any explanation for this behaviour?

There is even a fourth location and a fourth different number.

 

The banner shows the /real/ number. It counts all waymarks you have logged a visit.

 

On the statistics page it counts the visits. Multiple visits for the same waymark are counted each.

 

The "Waymarks I've visited" searches for all *searchable* Waymarks, you have logged a visit. This means, waymarks that have been archived and categories on your ignore list are excluded.

 

The fourth location is "My visits". This contains all visits and also comments you may have added to a waymarks.

Thanks for explaining the subtle differences :)

 

In fact I logged two waymarks twice by accident, for one waymark I wrote a note. Two have been archived since I visited them.
