[Az-Geocaching] Missing caches on the main site

[Andrew Ayre]

Sounds like a bug in the cache page caching code - it probably has a limit
on the number of logs that are cached for display and when you go and add
your "old" log, it forces a re-cache of the page including all the logs this
time.

Ok. I just went and re-logged my find on this cache. It did indeed bring up
all the old logs again. I then had a double find and had to delete the
newest log.  Basically, it appears all the logs and information is there,
but for some reason it is being 'dropped off the bottom'. So, when the cache
page was updated (by my re-logging my find)... it brought up all the old
logs again. This is interesting. ???

I also noticed that the 'find' is still in my list of caches found on the
main site (under 'my cache page'). The 'log' is there and I can view it when
I click on 'log'.. but, when I click on the cache page I wouldnt see it.

Both times this has happened was on really old caches (from 2002) that had a
tremendous amount of logs on the cache page.
