Suddenly can't access. Are we down?

Hmmm. I thought it strange that the list of caches, events and mega-events seemed short but just thought it was a coincidence. I didn't realize that it was a plan to keep us all less informed and that the really important thing is to reduce the mail volume.
Please go back to listing all events and caches within 100 miles of our home coordinates. That would be useful. What you've got now is not useful.

Release notes are always appreciated. Thanks

You must all be men.
We women know that this makes an excellent tool for everything from lock picking to log rolling.
Edit to add: and they are adjustable, and the plastic ends can be scraped off to avoid resistance.
Thanks for the memory of my mother. It's been a long time since I've seen one of those.

Suddenly some person or persons unknown is editing one of my waymarks. There is no link, that I can discern, where I could ask What's up with this?. This is the message I got:

So I'm asking What's up with this?

We Found a nice Cache today but the log was wet, what is the right thing to do in this situation? We closed the container and marked it as "Needs Maintenance" was this right?
I carry a sack of spare logs.....I make various size logs using a spread sheet program....small ziplock bags can be purchased at craft shops like Michaels.
I've added/replaced hundreds of log sheets around the country as have other cachers.....its a great help to cache owners and to the community to assist in maint. in this way.....always try to carry spare logs.
If possible I simply add the new log to the cache.....if there is only room for one log I use the new one ( a soaked unreadable hunk of paper won't do the co any good)
I always carry a Sharpie which will write on just about anything.
+1 -- Carry replacement caches, too. Always handy when the cache is missing a lid or has been run over by a truck.

When generating a new pocket query, under "Days to Generate," after selecting a day, you are to choose how the site should deal with running the PQ.
For the two pocket queries I ran today, I selected "Uncheck the day of the week ..." Usually, this works correctly. Today, I had to return to the PQ page and uncheck the choice manually.
-
Appears to be semi-normal now so I've removed my question.
Lesson to learn: Wait a day or two before asking a question.
-
Am I right in now assuming that I was the only one who had to wait 3 hours for a pocket query? And, if there were others, am I the only one who finds this to be a problem?

Where do I go to delete a cookie? Vista Google Chrome
Go to settings (the wrench icon) then open advanced settings and then "Clear browsing data".
Leave only the cookies part ticked. This might have effects on other sites you are using!
Thanks. Since my issue/irritation is the not staying logged in situation ... to be addressed at some future date. I'll leave well enough alone.

Pocket queries seem to be dead. I created a new one a few hours ago and it still hasn't run. The box is checked for today, but so far nothing.
I posted about this over on the Bug Report Page as well.
I submitted one at 8:56 PM PDT and, as of 10:10 PM PDT it still has not run.
This is not a good thing. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone who can fix this will need a pocket query and not be able to get it to run.

It's been quite awhile since we had a problem with pocket queries running slowly, if at all. I noticed that someone mentioned it on the site update forum but I'm guessing this is where we really should mention it.
Submitted pocket query at 8:56:18 PM PDT.
It is now 9:21 PM PDT and it has not arrived.
It is now 10:06 PM PDT and it still hasn't run.
It is now 10:34 PM PDT and it still hasn't run.
It finally ran at 11:49 PM PDT. Is this the result of a problem or was there just a slow-down in the system? I can only hope that it was a one-time glitch since I often run pocket queries for spur of the moment cache runs with an exit the house deadline of 15 minutes or so.

The not-staying-logged-in problem continues. I'm guessing that we'll all have to wait patiently for the worker bees to return after their holiday break. I know that's what I'm going to do.

Back up. No waiting. Thanks Raine.

I go to a cache (the cache shows on the maps on that page), I click on "View Larger Maps," the larger map comes up. There are no caches showing on that page, I switch preferences, there are no maps showing on that preference either.
i.e. nice albeit useless maps
I tried logging out and logging back in ... no change
I tried refreshing the map page two or three times ... no change
Help!
I think you just need to wait -- sometimes the cache icons take a while to show up.
I didn't have to wait when I was using them last night.

edit: additional action
I tried clicking on "Save as Pocket Query" to see if there was anything hidden there on the page. The query came up and I clicked Submit and got
I forgot to mention I'm using Google Chrome.

The large map has no caches on it. Not what I'd call useful.
Tried both preferences ... Google and Leaflet ... both without caches.

Although I was initially irritated by the loss of Google Maps and expressed a willingness to pay extra for them. After the glitches and speed issues were dealt with, the Mapquest maps have worked just fine for us and I wouldn't pay extra for Google.
There is no extra charge for Google Maps. They're provided at no additional charge to premium members.
Yes, I know that. I was referring to back when Google Maps were first dropped and everyone had their panties in a bunch.
Now, I'm saying I wouldn't be willing to pay extra for Google Maps as the MapQuest maps have been just fine for my purposes.

After the glitches and speed issues were dealt with, the Mapquest maps have worked just fine for us and I wouldn't pay extra for Google. In fact, when a map came up as Google Maps right after the change, I didn't even notice. I only knew they'd been changed when I came here to this forum to see what the new changes were.
I appreciate the efforts you admin folks are making in both directions and the ability to toggle back and forth will be a nice option.

... and as long as I have my PQs, I'll continue to pay for membership.
Ya sure, you betcha.

Addition information.
System reported healthy
This is what I get when I try to go to a link from a pocket query:
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
I was looking at events to add to my calendar. I'd added a couple quite successfully and, on the third, the info above was the result.

I notice there is a new status update at status.geocaching.com. Since things are moving at a snail's pace today, I thought I'd go there to see what might be the problem.
Nope. No help. status.geocaching.com reports that geocaching.com is "Healthy." Well, it's not.

I am finding this problem on every link on any cacher's "Geocache Information for User: any cacher"
Hope it gets fixed soon.
