;D
I figured this is going to be a longer process and should put it in the right area on the board. I am sure others wonder about this or the computer stuff just comes easy to them....
I was able to download PQ of my caches found the parking query was just an additional page. I will go in and try a true PQ on my own soon.

Figured it out! Thanks for the help on this one, now who is going to help me search for my cache in Bumpus (Kaitlins)... just kidding. I did accidently delete all my waypoints in the area of Kaitlins cache, so if I am a bit off on the coords I will be out there a while on Saturday.

I went out to look for Kaitlins Cache after Scobey had a DNF on it..... I went out without my GPS and went in the woods at a different point then i had during the fall time so I could not find the cache at that time. I disabled it right now, till I actually find it, to ensure, once again the coords are good........ this is due to me not finding it the other day. I layed it when there was zero snow on ground, looks so different out there now.

Congrats Oleruns on the FTF for Kaitlins Cache. Was making my plans to locate cache this weekend when I opened my email and was surprised at your First to Find. Ok so tried to find caches with download, difficult due to them being in GPS by the Waypoint instead of title. Cant remember descriptions and what I am looking for with out the information sheets.

You see I was only at 50% for the day 3-6 but did score two FTFs! I think that's #42. I have run into a strange problem with Cachestats. The printout into HTML lists a cache that I was not FTF as a FTF. You pull up the FTF editing section and that cache is not listed at all as a FTF. I have rechecked the log and there is no "FTF" in it. I will say "First to find" in the log if I am talking about FTF so I am not given credit for the FTF. I may leave an FTF coin or pin in a cache that I was not FTF so you have to spell out "First to find" as to not get credit in cachestats. It's been a pain but I think the battle to weed out all the wrong FTFs are just about done.
Has anyone else run into that?

NO ;D FTF, First to Find, same is same is same. I know what my FTF, First to finds are. Well, when I get as many as some of you'll maybe I will run into the problem. I thought about writing on the actual cache container when I come to a milestone or FTF?

The Cachestats program loads all your PQ logs and searches for "FTF" and totals the logs with that as your total FTF.
If you are not FTF but want to say it in the log you need to spell out "First to find" so it will not count toward your FTF total.
In cachestats "First to find" is not equal to "FTF"
Even if you don't use cache stats now, you may later, so save yourself some pain, use "FTF" only in logs if you're first to find ;D
I think the first time I ran the program I had 60 logs with "FTF" what a mess. I am down to one wrong log or something inserted by Dr Bleh to make me go insane.

I figured it had to be an "advance geocacher" thing. I will go back and check out FTFs in my logs. You said that name again, the board has been quiet and weather moderate, what is to come now!
