They appear to be fixed!! Finally!! By the way, I had thought this thread was in our private "OC Team" sub-forum that most people can't see, but there are no major secrets here...

1) It was all because of CloudFlare, our Content Delivery Network.
2) We had to write a so-called page rule on Clouldflare, and tell cloudflare to ignore that page on our site.
3) We had to delete and recreate the statpics once an hour (we can set it where we want, but I figure once an hour is good).
4) Therefore, your statpic will only update once an hour. You log a find or hide a cache, and look at yourself posting to a forum where you display your statpic, The find or hide will not show for up to an hour on the statpic.

I have no idea which is correct but the stat pic find / hide count is 1 less than the find / hide count when I check my profile (1 each)

They regenerate every hour, and I have seen DudleyGrunt's one find off as well. But I've seen it correct too. This is a weird one, but lets just say they mostly work. :D Hopefully we'll figure this out.

It is pretty close. Nice to have for boasting and not integral to any real stats so doesn't really matter if it is accurate.

Mine has remained totally correct, including me posting a phony find on a challenge cache, which I later deleted, and it reverted back to the correct number. I should find up to 8 OCNA caches Memorial Day Weekend, so we shall see what happens. :D

I got them to "catch up" by putting Cloudflare in Development mode. Took about 3 minutes for it to change. I would imagine logging into Cloudflare every couple of days and putting it in Dev Mode is a temporary fix while I keep looking at it. Maybe I'll set an alarm on my phone. :D
