I normally search with a Garmin 62xs and use the i-Phone 3GS to check for newer logs than what I've loaded and to log my finds. Today the i-Phone was totally useless as a resource for Geocaching. It made and received phone calls, sent and received text messages, and did whatever else I needed it to do, but it either failed to connect to GC.com entirely or connected and established a position but would go no further. This happened repeatedly, and it didn't seem to matter if I had one bar, five bars, or wi-fi connectivity. So I'll say it again: useless! I sincerely hope that whatever magic appears this coming week includes a fix. I know better than to expect either an acknowledgement that there is a problem or (gasp) any sort of apology.

GPSmap 62cs and City Nav NT 2011.10 data card, both purchased yesterday, both working fine.

Oops!! Now they've arrived - Thanks!

None of the five I have scheduled for today have run - would someone please wake the hamsters?

Me too! Three "even" PQ file numbers ran, two "odd" PQ file numbers yet to appear. Please nudge the sleeping "odd" hamster and advise when we should see results.

My two missing PQ's showed up this afternoon, fifteen hours after the other three ran. Why the concern? This is the same type of server behavior that shut the site down a few months ago. It started small that time also, and as with today there was no response from the Lackeys who are supposedly monitoring the system on a constant basis as to what the problem was. Instead the issue broke through the band-aid fixes and required some massive reworks to make it operable. What about today's issues, noted in at least one other thread? Who knows ... Who was it who said that those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it??

Since there is no outcry on this forum I'm guessing it is an isolated problem, but of the five regular PQ's I have scheduled for today the three even numbered files ran just fine and early this morning while the two odd numbered (986615 and 1471831 are yet to run. Spam filter is clear, everything else is working normally. WinXP SP3 and IE8. I know I can duplicate and probably get immediate results, but I would rather find out what happened.

First of all, thanks for the sincere apologies, the acknowledgement that communications are critical, and the information about raising the 500 cache limit per PQ to 1000. Now my question: of the five queries I have scheduled for today, I received the two odd numbered queries around 8:30 this morning, but am stll waiting on the three even numbered queries. Is that particular server still processing backlog, or has something else popped up?

My five came in between 4:48 and 4:51PM this afternoon, which makes sense since the problem was uncovered and the servers restarted over ten hours into the day. Thanks Lackeys!

Me too! Waiting on five PQ's last run one week plus two hours ago. Both odd and even numbered. With an array of 39 PQ's that I run fairly regularly, I'm reluctant to delete something in order to do the copy trick. Hopefully Moun10bike or one of the other lackeys will pop on and tell us that the issue is being dealt with.

Mine haven't run either - all regularly scheduled and last run a week ago. Sounds like this is a bigger problem that we've been seeing recently, where just one of the five PQ generators has a problem. This one appears to be effecting all types of PQ's; new, my finds, routes, and both odd and even numbered scheduled.

Add me to the list. Last run date is 7/9/2009, so it should have jumped near the top of any queue, but no date change shown as yet.

Thanks Moun10Bike. Based on what you've said I'm guessing that doing the "copy" thing would solve my problem but would also add to to load on the PQ genetators. I can wait.

On Sunday, January 3rd, I had five queries scheduled to run. Two ran at 4:26 AM PST, I did the "copy" thing to get two more to run mid-afternoon, and the last ran around 5PM. This morning I am facing the same problem; five queries scheduled, two ran at 3:27AM PST, and no sign as yet of the other three. I suppose I could do the "copy" thing again as that seems to be a bandaid solution, but I am compelled to ask why. The system has been running so well recently, the queries I've scheduled were all run at the same time last week, and the problem must not be system wide or these forums would be full of complaints. Any suggestions or solutions ? Anyone else having the same problem?

Here we go again - same problem as I had back on January 3rd and reported on the second post to this thread - Five queries set to run today, two ran at 3:27 PST this morning, no sign of the other three. Last week I did the "copy" thing and the copies ran almost immediately, but I would mich rather have the system work as it is designed to do. Anyone else with the same problem?

And the missing PQ showed up five minutes after my post above - Thanks!!

Got tired of waiting, so did the copy thing with two of the three that haven't run - they ran immediately. Just for yuks I'm leaving the third un-run query in place just to see if it ever shows up. Obviously there is a hiccup somewhere in the hamster cage, but I can live without that one query; I would rather see if the good citizens of Emerald City fix (or even acknowledge) the problem.

My PQ problem this morning is more like an oft-repeated problem from last year: five queries scheduled to run, two ran at 4:26 PST this morning, and the other three yet to run. I thought this might be overload due to the number of new post Christmas players as in past years, but so far this season all has been good - until this morning. I'm surprised no one else has reported similar problems, which should have been the case if there was a serious system problem. What's up?

Just got 'em - Thank You

Checked five to run before six am this morning - now over ten hours ago and still waiting. I do understand the issue is being worked, but am wondering if I'll see any of these five today.

Similar story here. I checked boxed five queries that last ran a week ago at just before six AM PDT - one ran immediately, the other four are still checked. It would be nice to at least see an acknowledgement from TPTB that there is a problem and it is being addressed.

The last two showed up late yesterday, and five queries requested this morning popped up within five minutes - all seems back to normal.

After the above post I tried unchecking and re-checking the two queries I'm still seeking, but to no avail. Perhaps this is a very localized problem, or perhaps things will hit the fan after midnight when a broader base of users may be affected!

Still waiting on the last two from this morning - and it has been working so well of late!!

Around 6:45 AM this morning I checked five of my regular queries to run immediately. All last ran one week ago. As has been the norm lately three ran within ten minutes. Two are still in the queue. I agree - something needs a jump start!
