  1. I am having the same problem. I use this all the time so it is really making things more difficult for me. Please fix as soon as possible.
  2. It would be nice if this page could be reinstated. It is one that I find very useful. Also in general, it would be better to make all the transactions unlimited as far as data is concerned. We want more data, not less. Less is a step in the wrong direction.
  3. The current system we have in place works well enough. There is no need for it to change in my opinion and it should definitely not be automated.

    Lock caches

    Many people log their finds well after the fact so this would not be fair to them. I try to log my finds the same day or the next morning, but I know people who are months behind in their logging. Not everyone uses a phone and logs caches on the spot, nor should they have to.
  5. I attempted to use the Will Attend button on several events and got the message that the page was not working, too many redirects. The URL had a whole lot of long strings in it. By editting the URL, I was able to get back to the log page where I could select what type of log I want to create and then select Will Attend from there. Not sure if it is just me having the problem or if it is everyone. Here is the URL that did not work: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=8969586&lcn=1%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252Fseek%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252Flog.aspx%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525253FID%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525253D8969586%25252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252C1&logtype=9 however, if I shorten it to this: https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=8969586&lcn=1 I can select my log type and then select Will Attend and it let me log one.
  6. Thanks for fixing. I just tried it out and it was working!
  7. Is there any way to move this up on the priority list? I am getting by with using the old maps and sometimes GSAK as a work around, but it would be so much nicer if this could get fixed soon.
  8. Any word on when this will be fixed? It seems like it should be a simple change to use the cache coords for the search instead of the user's home coords.
  9. Any word on when this will be fixed? I have been using the old maps (browse) as a temporary work around, but it is not ideal.
  10. Additional info: In some cases, it appears to be defaulting to my home location as a starting point and not showing me the caches that are near the cache I am clicking the link off of. If I choose a cache that is much farther from home, it shows caches in that area, but the mileage of how far away it is appears to be using my home coordinates. This is not how it has worked in the past and is not very useful, since I want to see the caches that are closest to the cache that I clicked the link off of.
  11. This evening I have clicked on the link from several cache pages that says "Find nearby caches that I haven't found.... and I have been getting strange results. It does not in fact show me the closest caches that I haven't found, but shows some that are 5 or 10 miles away. I use this link all the time, so this would appear to be a recent problem. Please investigate and correct the problem.
  12. This is still a problem when I go to run my pocket queries. It is important to the way I use this site, since going to the last cache in the query tells me how far out my query goes and helps me determine if I need to do another query or not. Please fix this. Thanks!
  13. The problem seems to have cleared up for me. I play a golf game on facebook and it stopped working at about the same time, so I updated to the most current version of chrome and both the geocaching map program and the golf game problem both cleared up. My chrome version did not appear to be far out of date, but maybe they had a bad version????
  14. I got the same message. I use the browse map most of the time anyway, so it was just another click to get there. It would be nice if there was a direct link to the browse map on the cache page, like there used to be.
  15. Does anyone have a link for the old search to see all of a specific type of cache for a player. For example, I would like to see all the earthcaches I have found in the old search format?
  16. Can you add the last found column to the search results. I use that info all the time.
  17. I completed the Natural Wonders a couple days ago. I have since found a few caches and have gotten no credit for any of the solar system wonders. Are they available yet or is there something else that needs to happen?
  18. Yesterday I logged 20 caches on my computer (the only way I ever log caches) in the order I found them. I attended a CITO event, found 3 traditionals, then 2 mystery caches, then attended a regular event, followed by 2 more traditionals, an earthcache, and then the rest of them were traditionals. Everything was in the correct order, except that it moved the regular event as if it were the second cache I logged instead of the 7th. This seems like a basic feature to put the caches in the order they were logged. Can someone correct this?
  19. I'm getting no response when trying to go to my default home page (clicking on user name in top right hand corner of screen). Managed to get to some cache pages by going through GSAK. Once there, I can bring my profile up, but if I click on "All Geocache Finds", I also get no response.
  20. Just tried it again and I was able to get in and log the couple of caches I found today. Looks like it is working for now.
  21. The website keeps asking me to log in. When I do, it will show my user name like I am logged in, but if I try to do anything like look at a cache page, it tells me I have to log in again. Anyone else having this problem?
  22. I am continuing to get 500 errors today as well. Could the powers that be please fix this?
  23. I haven't found as many as quite a few others, but I guess what seems like alot will vary from person to person. As long as new caches come out, I don't have to travel so far. Putting only detectives (that don't help with the promotion after you have already found one) on new caches is the disadvantage. I am curious as to why the powers that be decided to set it up that way. Quite honestly, I am more interested in challenge caches than these promotions, but since some challenge caches require a certain number of souvenirs, I try to do them when they are available.
  24. I'm not sure I would call it a penalty, but it is set up so that avid cachers are at a disadvantage because many who have found most of the caches near their home location do have to go a long way to get the clues/jewels. In my opinion, they should assign clues/jewels to new caches, so those who are in this situation have a shot at getting different clues close to home. Assigning all the new caches as detectives (which are no longer useful after you find one of them) makes it much more difficult.
