Here are a couple that I see that are not showing the member name on the comment, and they don't have a mystery box icon.

Good grief! I just can't seem to get this query quite right! I tried to fix it again.... let me know if this time it worked out better. =)

Thanks. Just wondering, were you looking at the date that they logged the find or the date they entered that they actually found the box? The latter date is the one that I really should match the comment. Based on people logging my boxes at events, I would guess that say more than 1% log their funds after the actual date they found them. I know I rarely have time to log stuff the day I find it because I use up all my time out finding it.

I was looking at a comparison of the two. I suspected that the vast majority of finds were recorded within a few days of the actual find, and I figured the order the comments and "incorrect" dates wouldn't even be an issue if the two dates were within a week of each other.

So I ran a query that counted the number of days between the recorded find date and the date the comment was listed and about 99% of them had been recorded within a week of their find date. Those who record a find months or years later are definitely an anomaly.
