[Az-Geocaching] Missing caches on the main site

[Koch, Dan]

It was the same with the 'Yellow Jeep Cache' before it was archived.  Maybe
the main site only retrieve the last X logs when you view the cache page or
maybe there is a time limit on how long the query can last when the system
is searching for the logs in the database and it is 'timing out' when there
are bunches and bunches of logs on a cache.

With 'Yellow Jeep', each time I clicked refresh, the oldest log displayed
would change.

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.
