I don't think we have much choice... we should make it clear that we're not growing, but we're still here and we're still Waymarking.
-
The problem does not occur with every input of coordinates; it is random. However, when it does happen, it can repeat multiple times for same waymark.
The source of the coordinates is mostly the Czech map server mapy.cz - for example, https://shorturl.at/elEPV . I extract the coordinates in the format '49.4142039N, 14.6589750E'. From there, I remove the middle characters 'N, ' and replace the characters ', ' then removing the trailing 'E'.
I have JavaScript enabled, and I always use the latest version of Chrome.

I was satisfied with the previous functionality of Waymarking site, except for the issue of switching between W/E in coordinates. However, I eventually managed to cope with it. I enter the coordinates only by using the copy/paste method in decimal format.
The new input field for coordinates seems to have some new error. Occasionally, it refuses to accept valid coordinates pasted in. This applies even to the sample coordinates 39.064280, -145.204380 from the field's help. Am I the only one experiencing this issue, or is it affecting others as well? I have tried logging out and restarting the browser, but it doesn't seem to be reliable.
The error with the automatic switching of W/E was annoying, but at least it was apparent at first glance. The current error, however, is almost worse because it's not clear why the pasted coordinates are being rejected.

I'm really amazed today...
this is the result of format conversion by Waymarking.com
50.0908464 14.4012206 DegDec = N 50°5.2706' E 50°5.2706' DMS

I've been adding some new waymarks for a while. I would say that the bug described in this thread has gotten worse. When I insert the coordinates in DecDeg format copied from the map portal, it goes through without a problem. When I change the format to DMS, the coordinate values disappear and are replaced with just zeros.
So not only Waymarking.com assume that the participant is only northwest hemisphere, it spontaneously changes the coordinates already entered and saved once now it doesn't even know how to convert between the different formats.-

one more thing...
I fill the coordinates and switch DecDeg -> DMS -> DecDeg just before I do the save -
I find this quite helpful workaround ...
I always fill the coordinates in DecDeg format
after filling (without saving) I switch DecDeg to DMS and immediately back to DecDegthe note: after switching to DMS the coordinates are almost always set to 0, after switching to DecDeg the values are restored
only then will I saveit almost always works for me

Sunday 16:39 or 21:10 Central European Time (CET)
Eforia is gone :-(
again, there are delays during browsing Waymarking.com
-
It is very good that you have come to the cause of the overload.
Even today, the server response is very fast.
Thank you Bootron.

I am also satisfied for this time, HW has changed?
-
I'm really frustrated...
I'm not able to select correct combination of Country and State / Province when I setting new waymark
for Czech Republic country State / Province box offers no choice
or allows to select US State / Province !!! -
Hmmm, probably another good example of poor functionality of Waymarking.com
see also ->
-
Hmmm, I don't want to rely on 'Fingers crossed that this lasts' :-)
Most of us is Premium Member - we should be more demanding in terms of reliability and speed of Waymarking.com.
We should ask for a clear answer if and when someone will deal with it.
-
I agree that the problem arised in waves, but probably more often than 3-4 per day.
Currently the server response is very good :-)
Thanks for your message bootron.

I'm using Chrome. I estimate that about 40% of my requests on Waymarking.com are delayed. I notice delays at certain recurring intervals.
I would understand the delay in some search of waymarks or uploading photos, but there is also delay in displaying an empty form for photo upload when I post a new waymark. This is a very simple page with minimal graphics.
-
The combo box for State / Provinces works for me now :-)
Edit 19.1.2020: the problem has improved, but sometimes it still happens

This issue is still going on with me as well.
I haven't had this problem yet. I'm using Chrome v.79.
Same issue on two different PC with Chrome v.79. Erasing the cache and cookies didn't help.
IE v.11.535 shows 'State / Province' combox OK.
Third PC, IE and Chrome same version as the previous two pc.
'State / Province' combox is empty in both browsers.

Thank you bootron for your info.
Happy New Year to you :-)

I haven't had that problem with Safari, however the site has been extremely slow to navigate the last few weeks. I assume it's due to maintenance. Maybe it has something to do with it?
I agree, I'm using the latest version of Chrome, everything works for me, but post new waymark, upload photos takes about 2-3 times more than about a month ago :-(
Don't you see it too?
-
the same with me :-(

That's a big bad news.
I didn't know him personally, but even at a distance I felt he was the right guy. -

OK, I estimate it the same.

OK, thank you for your message :-)
However, I don't understand what our community is supposed to do about it on the forum?
==============
I can confirm that upload is now working.
