All Logs (Found date xs log published date)

[+DDS88]

Hello,

I've just found out that my feature "Your Geocaching Logs (All)" is not showing my logs by Found date (as it used to be) but now is showing all my logs by registration date.

 

https://www.geocaching.com/my/logs.aspx?s=1

 

Is this just a temporary bug or is a change from the Groundspeak?

 

This is pretty bad for me, bacause if I wanna search for an old log of mine, it is not already chronologically ordered.

 

Can anyone inlight me about it, please?

 

Thanks

Not seeing anything wrong at all. When I use your link to look at the list of "my" logs, which is where your link takes me, the date shown is the date the log was posted.

I was curious to see if I saw the same result. I can confirm that my logs are all listed in the order of entry (or in descending log ID number) and not necessarily in date order.

 

Back in December, I left a backdated DNF log on a TB hotel that I had looked for. For some reason, the cache owner felt the need to delete my log, so I left a new one. That log (log ID # GLPY0JV4) is dated 6/26/2016, but it appears on my "all cache logs" page between the last log I left on 12/9/2016 (log ID # GLPWKQ19) and the first log I left on 12/19/2016 (log ID # GLPY14WF).

Yep - it seems there has been a change. I'm seeing it on the "All Logs" page linked in the OP, but also on the "Found It", "Didn't Find It", "Write Note", etc pages.

 

The logs used to be listed sorted by Found Date then Log ID, but now it seems to be listed sorted only by Log ID.

 

I hope this isn't a permanent change!

Deleted - I misunderstood OP's issue.

Me too - it would create a real mess as I often log later than the day when I visited a cache and sometimes considerably later.

[cezanne]

But I understand this as a feature and a correct behavior actually - I mean, I have just posted a log no matter what date it has and I should be able to see it on the main page for next 30 days as a history of what I have posted. I might realize that I need to edit it or even remove it... If the "Your logs" page displayed logs chronologically according to the log date then my 2010 log would never display there, I would have to open my cache and go aaall the way down to get to it.

 

Do not confuse the "Your logs" page with cache page - logs on cache pages display correctly in chronological order.

 

I do not think that the OP confused something. First this weird sorting also occurs within the list of all found it, all did not find logs etc and not only in the history of the last 30 days and there it is really very painful.

Second, even within the list of the last 30 days I would prefer to have backdated logs at the end of the list (which was the state of things until the change).

 

It's simply annoying to have to search for a log for a visit in May 2014 that has been logged in October 2014 in the mids of the logs of October 2014. It gets even more annoying if one has had a backlog in logging only with regard to some caches and not all as then the order one ends up is pretty much chaotic. These lists of all logs are particularly important as they are the only way to list all logs of say type DNF or all notes or all NM logs as all these type of links are not creatable via the list you mentioned as alternative. Moreover the latter list is not searchable as one needs to page through.

I can confirm that on "Your Geocaching Logs (All)" and "Your Geocaching Logs (Filtered by Log Type)" pages my test WN dated 2010-01-01 appears on the first place which is definitely a bug.

I rarely post in the forums (just lurk for topics of concern), but I have to agree there is a website change in the last few days, if not a bug! I am not sure if my issue is exactly related to the above messages, but our profile page used to show an (expandable) list of recent logs. It included TB dips (visits). That was how we checked to be sure we had dipped them.

 

Today the list includes ONLY caches found & notes written, expanding it is the same, but has a (new?) place to click "trackables". I gamely clicked and found that it now only lists logs by date (very generically) and NOT by cache! Completely and totally useless.

 

Hopefully this is a bug not a change. Curious if others' experiences are similar. (Or maybe I should have started a new topic? We're not 100% savvy with the etiquette here, all forums seem to differ on "rules".) Cheers all!

The Goldies: I checked my profile page (Your Logs (Last 30 Days)) and you're right, this page is affected as well regarding the TB logs.

 

Five days ago my friend gave me two TBs he had brought from his trip and I grabbed them the same day (2017-03-03). They're now displayed at the bottom. Why, for God's sake?

I'm going out on a limb and saying that no web delivery team would make this many poor decisions and half tested changes deployed into production so.... We are seeing the impact of a behind the scenes, apparently not so transparent result of the site trying to normalize date/time logs properly. Or is it?

 

PS... We can check the release notes section which documents these impactful change.

Are you sure? Have you for example come across the thread where people pointed out that the link in the new newsletter listed for all caches regardless of where they live the caches in the Washington area?

It seems to be that the most obvious cases of testing one could think of would catch such mistakes so it's seems to me that the way things are tested at gc.com seems to differ from what I'm used to from other areas (where still

often a lot of bugs do not get discovered during the initial testing).

 

In the case discussed here I also wonder whether the developpers are seasoned cachers who have been using these lists extensively over years so that they understand what is important to the users.

I can't help wondering if it was done on purpose, and there's been little reaction so they think it's okay...?

WTF?! That's hilarious! I have to admit, I couldn't believe you, so I went to look for myself. Definitely lists TB logs after cache logs. Then its lists benchmark logs after that! I always thought it was such a brilliant implementation decision to list all my geocaching activity in order, day by day, but now it seems as if all this time it wasn't a conscious decision but just a lucky break that's now broken.

I just looked at my Geocaching Logs and the issue I was seeing last night, which matched what the OP described, seems to be fixed. Anyone else seeing that?

 

Also, I'm not seeing the issue with TB logs that The_Goldies reported, so maybe that was recently fixed too.

Yep, it looks fine for me too. Just as quietly as the problem was introduced, it seems to have been quietly fixed.

Yep, me, too. My favorite kind of bug: good for a laugh, but not left to become an irritant.
