[Az-Geocaching] Error in stats?

[Brian Cluff]

Yup, we are still cleaning up from the last round of changes. We'll
announce when we THINK we have everything working again.  The changes on
the official website were minor by appearance, but are causeing us to
have to make signioficant changes to our website.... Probably mostly our
fault for not writing it better in the first place, but hind sight is
20/20.

Unfortunatly the out of state and webtotal column are completely gone,
and probably aren't comming back.
What happened over the weekend was that Jeremy switch his entire site
over to using static pages that are cached on the fly.  They probably
only get updated whenever there is something changed on the cache.  With
this being the case, he can no longer put the total for caches found on
the individual cache pages since they would only be correct on the page
with the last cache someone logged.
Anyway, without that information we loose 2 columns of data from the
team stats page.  I guess we are truely only an Arizona stats page now.

As for a couple of stats missing, we have found a couple of cache pages
that you just plain can't get.  They come back with an error, so we
can't update those stats till Jeremy fixes his site.

Also a causualty is the code that crawles the archived caches seems to
be completely broken, and I haven't found a way to make it work again
yet, so any changes to an archived caches won't show up at all unless
someone tells us about it, so that we can go manually go and grab the
missing/updated page.
