I use my own archived caches all the time to get templates for new cache write ups and sometimes to get coordinates off the old ones. Any idea why those have disappeared from the lists?

Does anyone know how I can search for caches in certain 1 degree sectors around my home location? Thanks.

Sorry about that. Here is a new picture showing the problem.

Here is a screen capture of what I get: [Edited by moderator to remove image that disclosed secret tracking code]

The trackable is TB6XCA0 The sight still won't let me grab this. I know for a fact that I can grab this one because it turns out that I have had this one in my possession before. I placed it in a cache, someone retrieved it and now it has returned to me. Also, others that I talked with have told me that they are having the same problem.

I'm trying to log a travel bug, but the sight only allows a note or a discovery. I was at an event earlier today and everybody was have a problem logging travel bugs. What's going on with this new logging system.

Well, today I got a new logging screen that fixed the date issue. Now the log type doesn't stick and I can't upload any pictures. I'm not sure why something that was working perfectly a few months ago had to be fixed.

I have been using a "reversed" attribute with an ordered list to show a list on my profile page for years. The syntax is "<ol reversed> then the list followed by </ol>" This has worked great for many years. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that it no longer works - I get a list that is in reverse order but the line numbers aren't reversed. Any suggestions about what is happening?

I've decided that I don't care what date my caches are logged on. It the date won't stick I'll just log everything on whatever date shows up. I'm planning a trip soon where I might find up to 100 caches. I have no plans to keep changing the date for that many caches.

This is now around 2 months since this issue started. I'm trying to log my finds from a recent mega event which is proving to be very difficult. Any news on the resolution to this problem? It sure seems to be dragging on a long time.

I've been having the same problem. It's very annoying and also very time consuming to have to go back and edit everything. I hope that this gets fixed soon. It seemed to work quite nicely in the past.

I'm not at all sure why limiting the number of finds that you can see seemed like a good idea. It's pretty sad that as a paying member I have to use third party software to see all my finds. I'm sure that plenty of people will come up with ways around this, but why continue to make life hard for your most avid customers.

How do you see more than just 1000 cache finds for a given cache type. I'd like to be able to see all of my finds, not just a few months of them.

Don't feel bad - I'm a premium member and I haven't been able to see my own finds for about a month now. All I hear is that they're working on it.

Is there any update on this error 500 problem. I'm trying to do some planning for summer trips, and this is a real hindrance. It makes no sense to me that there hasn't been a problem since I joined, but now I can't see my own finds. Just give me the option to go back to my old profile page. There is nothing on the new one that is at all appealing to me.

The site won't let me look at my finds from my profile page. I get the error 500 message for any cache type that I pick.

I have been using Win10, which is where the problems are happening. I just tried Firefox, and it works ok.

The Groundspeak site has been acting very odd for me today. I kept getting notices to allow cookies. I finally clicked on that one. (never saw this before) The logs don't load when I load a webpage. The tabs on my public profile page do not work. They simply send me back to my profile page. There have been several other one time events that are just odd.

I am not able to add archived caches to my lists anymore since the list page has been updated. This is a huge problem when trying to create lists to show qualifications for challenge caches.

I've been having increasing difficulties with the icons on the maps for about the last 2 weeks or so. Increasing or decreasing the size sometimes works, but usually for only a couple of icons on the map. It's pretty hit and miss. I've tried several computers and my phone. It definitely is not a device problem, it's a site problem. I use maps for everything. Not being able to reliably look at the caches on the map is crippling to me for the way I set up my plans, and also while I'm out caching. I suppose that I could go through the tedious work of creating a PQ, but that could literally add hours to my trip planning. I like to scan around the map and check out the caches in maybe 6-7 completely different areas before I decide what I want to do for a weekend. Once I decide on an area I suppose a PQ would be helpful, but I shouldn't have to do that. Map problems seem to be an ongoing issue with this site. I should think that maps would be a top priority for the site. Why can't they get it right?

I don't have a problem with change. But, when change is made it should be to enhance the feature (such as maps). To me, the maps are the heart and soul of the entire game. Groundspeak doesn't seem to have ever recognized that, and every change they have made has decreased the functionality of the feature. Most of the time it has been subtle, but it is there if you use maps enough. This time it is over the top. I don't know about others, but for me this is going to make planning a trip extremely difficult, to the point where it just may not be worth it anymore. It is very easy to see where planning a trip is going to take longer than it will take to actually take the trip. For example, I've been working on a trip around Ohio going after counties. The task of planning that is very easy with the old maps, but next to impossible with these new ones. The limited number of caches that can be shown on the new maps is a real hinderance to planning routes. The fact that I can't seem to get rid of the icons of caches I have found only results in cluttering up the map. It is a giant step backward for those of us who make extensive use of this feature.

Wow, what a horrible shock when I started planning my weekend trip this morning. I use maps for everything, and this version is terrible. Just a few points: Why can't I show as many caches as fit on the screen area I'm showing? What do I have to do to get my finds off the map? I like to use the maps to show me where the county lines are. I might be missing them, but they don't seem to be on this version. Corrected coordinates just don't work right. Plus many more that I'm sure I haven't discovered yet. You've made a lot of changes to the maps over the years, and every time you change them they seem to get less useful. It used to be so easy to set up my cache runs. It's turned into hours and this time it might just be too much for me to continue. PLEASE let us use the old maps if we want to!!!!

Does anybody know why the map page changes so regularly? Every time it changes there are problems. This time many of the streets and route numbers are missing, along with several other glitches. But maps with missing street names and route numbers are not especially useful.

I have a Samsung S7 phone with the latest version of Firefox for android. When I open a map from the geocaching website it comes up on the screen ok. However, when I try to select a cache by tapping on the icon one of two things happen. It might not select the cache at all. (This is an extremely common problem with the maps both on the Android and on any computer). If it does select the cache the pop-up appears, but it is cut off toward the right end. It doesn't show the terrain rating, the date hidden or the gc number (as well as anything else that should be out on the right end of the pop-up. I've tried this in Chrome on the android phone and the problem is even worse. The pop-up only shows the cache name, and it doesn't allow you to tap on it to get to the cache page. I'm a big map user, and this is a big problem for me when I'm out caching, or even just setting up a plan for a cache run. I'm not sure why, but the overall performance of the maps on an android or a windows computer has been steadily declining for years, but now it has gotten to the point where you only seem to have about a 1 in 5 chance of even being able to select a cache from the icon.

Is it just me or does this Mary Hyde thing seem pretty ridiculous? I haven't figured out why anyone would need a crew to meet the challenges, and the weekly challenges seem pretty random. Is there any purpose behind the challenge requirements? Does anybody have any insight into what this whole thing was about?
