[Az-Geocaching] Error in stats?

[Farquhar, Larry]

I noticed that geocaching.com has the totals listed again in the logs.

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.
