Groundspeak updated the GC.com site yesterday. Click here to view a summary of changes.

I especially like the "trackables collection" feature to help manage coins and TBs you plan to keep in your possession.

For caches you have already logged, a red check mark check now appears next to "log your visit" on the cache pages. This is to aid cachers who tend to log multiple finds for the same cache, which can easily happen when they forget to log a TB into a cache and create a new log.

If your find count exceeds the unique cache count (using third-party geoapps), then you've probably logged more than one find for the same cache. I don't know how to easily identify multiple finds. Often the cache owner will delete multiple found logs to help you out.

There are a few cases where logging the same cache more than once is acceptable, such as a moving cache. But I'll let Nylimb explain that.

If you are using GSAK you can add a column to show how many logs you post for a cache.
1.Click on view
2.Click on Add/Delete Columns
3.An options box will pop up
4.Put a check mark in the Found Count box
Click OK
You will now have a column with the number of Found logs that you have posted for a cache.
Hope this helps.
