Oh yeah I totally get it. Probably like at my workplace where the regression testing is basically nonexistant, and as a platform service, the consumers are the ones who find the bugs. And those consumers don't have good regression testing either, so end users find the bugs. Sounds familiar And as much as we want to work on testing, users are breathing down our throats to get new features out and fix bugs. Hopefully they can get the site to a level pegging and work on their testing. But if it's like any other business, by the time stability is reached, corporate has new initiatives ready to go.

Being a software Product Owner, I know that they have 100 other things in their backlog and only so many resources to apply to those issues. It is a priorization game, and this isn't high enough priority for them to address. Hopefully it will be soon. Until they devote resources to fixing this, we won't hear anything. On a side note, I have noted that eventually found caches will turn to smileys. I wonder if drafts expire or not.

Still doing it this morning.

No matter what browser or platform I log into labs.geocaching.com with, it returns an error 500 going to any page. I cleared cookies/browser data in all locations. Been going on for at least a week.

Note this is a different issue than the other topic "Recent change on how Drafts are handled" as every time I upload, I delete the geocache_visits.txt file every time I upload. I'm also going to do research on when this might have started, though I can only comment back through March as that's when I got back into caching.

I was looking at my streak list, and I noticed one I found a few days ago is a blue exclamation point instead of a smiley. In research, this indicates the site thinks I have an unfinished draft. I have looked both in the app and on GC.com, and I do not have any drafts. I have been using the following workflow for years, and the site seems to just now starting to do this. It is very very annoying to have a streak bookmark list, and not have smileys next to all my finds. My workflow is: 1. Download data via PQ and load into GSAK, then send database to my GPSR (Garmin GPSMAP 66sr) 2. Find and mark the geocache as found on the GPSR 3. Connect the GPSR to the computer and upload geocache_visits.txt 4. Click on each listed draft, and submit the log from the log page linked from that draft I have tried some possible workarounds such as uploading another draft, then deleting it but that darn exclamation point is still there. Please fix this bug!

I am unable to upload images to my cache log. It is giving me the following error: Something went wrong with the image upload, please try again later. I have tried with several different desktop browsers, mobile Chrome, and different caches and pictures as well. I just tried with trackables as well, and I cannot upload pictures to those either.

I used the Geocaching.com app for Android this week and noticed curiously that the app used .24GB of foreground data and .44GB of background data. What is the purpose of this app using almost 1/4 of my data allotment for just background data?

Same here - Garmin sent me two different units on top of the one I purchased and all were awful. Traded in and paid the difference for the Oregon 700 and couldn't be happier.

I got feed up with the issues with this unit after three different units were experiencing the same problems that I ended up trading it in and paying the difference for an Oregon 700. Couldn't be happier.

Just got an FTF on a cache that had been published for two days presumably because there was no notification email. I didn't get one and I asked several friends and they didn't get one either. GC6PNNZ

I am considering upgrading to this device from my Dakota 20 - have the freezing issues been resolved with the newer firmware?

I got an email for a trackable of mine and wanted to see the cache it was placed into. The GC code for the cache is GCEC8, but the email took me go GLEC8. Caught me off guard for a moment because the "GLEC8" log is on an archived cache only 20 miles from my house. Here is the text of the email, with the relevant part bolded at the bottom: You are receiving this email because you are the owner of this listing.

Good, some peoples' workplaces allow GC.com, but not YouTube (and you can get in trouble for video streaming), so shoving auto-loading videos down peoples' throats is never a good thing. I've had to use a different news site since they started putting auto-loading videos on the pages, and we get in trouble for streaming video.

Add me to the list of (Not Published) in my email for my published caches. No special scripts or anything. You are receiving this email because you are the owner of this listing.

PARKING! Please post parking coordinates to your caches. I'd rather search for the cache, not search for parking.

Open the cache page. Just below the coordinates is a distance "from your home coordinates" - what is that distance? S 1.5 mi from your home coordinates. It is also listed that way on the "filter out finds" option, where it is second on the list, in correct order, between a 0.8 and a 1.6 miles. Chances are you are using a different set of coordinates for your instant notification than your house. Check your notifications at http://www.geocaching.com/notify/ and confirm that the origin coordinates all match your home coordinates. DOH! Thanks, it's just that not many events post that close to me and that one just stuck out. I have no idea how the coordinates that were in there got there anyway.

I just had a cache that was published 1.5 miles from my home, but the notification email says it's 4.5 miles from home. Cache in question is GC2FMK4. This is the first notification I have received since the site upgrade, so I don't know if it has something to do with that.

I found one under what must have been a 20-pound skirt at a Texas rest stop. Take a look at the picture of the guy sitting the wall; you can see the skirt on the pole behind him. Yes, it's that big! GC1J8XY

This was a forum long before the 5/5 discussion. He had a large amount of booty in the cache container when this started, and it had well been plundered by the 10th find. By the time we got to it, there were at most 10 trackables (I didn't get a real good count as it had started raining) and I think a $1 bill. And the notes about the 5/5 are a good read as it seems to be a microcosm for all sorts of opinions on what merits a 5/5.

I'm going to be up in the area for two months for work. So I will have lots of free time to cache. I'm looking for good places to hook up with people and go caching. I end up going into work nearly every day, so there won't be many opportunities for 'full day' excursions, but I still would like to cache with someone. Before you ask, I am flying up a few days early to get the triad and to hit Canada (not literally!) So, I guess my questions are: - Are there any good message boards for the area? - Would you like to go caching with me? Email me for availability. My travel dates are 9/30 and 11/22. - Caches that I must try for in the area? Don't mind high difficulty, but I really try to stay away from high terrain on the road.

I found a cache the other day which was hidden at the beginning of June, and about a week later, after the first few finds, the wasp logs starting coming in. So after having a close encounter with them (and several others fighting them just to get at an LPC), I decided to go spray them. I picked the day because it was going to rain that evening and wash all that spray off. Limits the risk. Turns out the wasps were angry because there were like eight larva there. Considering the poison will be gone by the time they hatch, the wasps may continue to occupy the post. Anyone know if wasp spray works on unhatched larva? DISCLAIMER: In nearly 3 1/2 years in caching, this was my first major encounter with wasps while caching. Don't like the things. Plus I have no idea if I will break out in hives if stung, so that's why I went the macabre route. EDIT: Just looked at the can of wasp spray I used. Doesn't mention anything about being less harmful after drying, but all the precautions address getting hit while sprayed. I would think that stuff would knock you cold, but it just seems to be an irritant. *shrug*
