Not sure what's causing your problems but everything will still be there when your issues are sorted out. It happened to me before too when I let it expire by mistake.
Thanks for the reassurance Niall
I owe an apology to all, especially at Groundspeak.
Seems I had messed with my Paypal account sometime ago and somehow cancelled my recurring membership.
An email from TPTB at Groundspeak gently explained the errors of my ways
Membership now renewed and all back to normal.
Again, apologies to all for the "senior moment"
Off now to see what all the changes are about

We had problems as well this weekend. We've been premium members for a number of years then it was showing as a basic membership and couldn't remember the renewal date so paid on Sat to get our PQ and bookmark list
Glad it wasn't only us
I nearly paid, thinking I must have missed it, then remembered it renews in October - checked back and found a receipt for the payment. So haven't paid agian ..... yet.
Were all your PQs and Bookmark lists still intact when you re-paid?
.............................
I wonder if there's anyway I could take it over from you for a while then??
I keep the Village Vexations bookmark, so it wouldn't be a bind........
Not sure you can "adopt" bookmark list.
I guess you could create your own PQ from them and go on adding any new ones.
But it would be a bit laborious to create a new bookmark list of them from scratch, even using GSAK to list them from a PQ.
All I'm going to miss is any new ones from today or yesterday, because I'm not getting any email notifications of newly published caches. Perhaps you could forward any new cache notification emails to me, so that I can catch up once my status is reinstated. In fact, if you don't mind Hazel, this would probably be the easiest way.
The last PQ download I have is from 28th April (which contains 317), but I did add a few more to the list (8) between then and 30th. Looking at my emails, the last Bookmark notification I got was at 22:42 on 2nd, so it went wrong during the night last night, anything since then, I've missed.
I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash

I use an Oregon 400T with nearly the whole of the UK OS mapping on it and find it superb for routing, walking, paperless caching, in fact everything you ever need from a GPS

Hiya Nick
I have no idea about the premium membership issue, although I know a couple of people had a problem a while agi and it seemed to sort itself out...
Good to see you back here - there must be TONNES of caches for you to get in Wirral now... come on.... get out there!!!!!
Hi Hazel,
Done a few here and there, but don't get the time as easily as I used to !! So it tends to be on holidays or en route somewhere if time allows (not often enough).
Seems to be problems with all sorts of things now on the website - wonder if most of them are related to my membership status.
I still have the Wirral bookmarklist, which I was keeping up to date from time to time, but at the moment, I can't due to being down graded to a basic member. I think I have something like 170 odd unfound in the list.
-
Been a while since I've been on here, but just been having some problems with my premium membership, see here.
So thought I'd call in and say hello again
Anyoen else been having similar problems since the recent round of upgrades?
Edit to correct link
-
I've been a Premium Member for nearly 5 years.
Automatic renewal etc... each October.
Checked into my account this evening (UK time) and I'm now a basic member
Hope, when it's resolved, that I haven't lost all my PQs, watchlists, notifications etc... etc...
....................................
Yeah, I have been bumping into them all weekend at 10 year events.
And, at the moment, while they're out enjoying themselves, I can't see or do more than half of what I want to
edit to add:
I've sent in a support request - wonder how long it'll take to get
a: answered
b: problem resolved.

How about this one? click
Nice cache and location - not sure it's really a 3* terrain though, more like a 2.
-
If you don't speak up and let us know your views how can we represent them?
Quite true.
-
No problem, I hope it all settles down soon - at the moment this pic sums up the forums
Ha ha, nice one - I could do with that picture to use on a forum I moderate on !!!!

In a niell, two of our esteened reviewers have had to throw the towel in due to differences of opinions with Groundspeak. This is due to a number of reasons none of which I am qualified to explain fuly but the thing that hit the nail on the head was Groundspeak coming into the forums and closing some threads after being asked not to do so my our moderators.
Ever since then it has been a daily mud slinging match which unfortunatley I can't see either side benefiting from. At the moment we are down to one reviewer (of caches and the forum - deci) and he is snowed under at present whilst he and the powers that be try to find replacements for the two that left.
Tempers are heated and things look grim - in the short term at least.
Thanks for the response - we seem to have cross posted.
-
Thanks to the cacher who took the time to email me with a response.
Please lock this now - I have my answer.
-
By default they are claiming to represent me, the evidence lies in the fact that I have spoken up. We must remember than many UK cachers don't post to or even read this forum and some that do won't speak up.
It's a very poor way of gauging "UK culture".
Couldn't agree more.
-
I've just spent an hour trying to find out what happened originally.
I've had an email from another UK cacher who explained the basics. Thank you to that person for taking the time.
It looks like it's degenerated into a slanging match which appears to be (a minority in) the UK vs the Rest of the World.
All this will do is get the UK, in general, seen in a bad light.
Seems to me, from the small amount of posts I have read (having not been on the forum for a while, and don't have the time to plough my way through the entire forum searching out the relevant posts), that there's a few who think they can speak for the entire UK caching community.
Please don't speak on my behalf - I have a voice of my own, if I choose to use it.
Not to mention the rest of the UK cachers who never come on the forum, but are being represented by it.
As previously suggested, chill, and let those who can, and need to, sort it out without filling the forum up with a slanging match and witch hunt.
-
Not been on the forums for a while, but it's obvious been some upset has happened.
But, there are now so many threads discussing it, making suggestions about what to do about it etc... etc... I can't see what happened originally (woods/trees springs to mind here maybe) and I don't have the time, or inclination, to plough my way through them all.
-
The way I do it (there may be other ways?) is as follows:
From GSAK I select File:Export:Memory Map CSV File
In the box that pops up, in th lower right hand side is a box titled "Link". In here I type \cmate:%code
Then do an export as normal and import into MM, then export to CM.
Now when you do a double tap on an icon on Pocket MM it should open the relevant page in CM.
Just one slight "quirk" if you use more than one CM db. The appropriate db needs to be the last db opened for this to work.
I use smart names, so the link is \cmate:%smart

Im not sure about GPX view (I dont use it) but I have an Ipaq and if you go
Settings,
System,
Screen
Text Size you can inlarge & reduce text there, may help
I don't seem to have that function on my Ipaq 5550
-
Just about ready to go.
Leaving home lunchtime Fri, caching En Route to Folkestone. Then a "few" on the other side of the water. Should be arriving at the event between 10 and 11 am Sat.
Camping Sat night and driving (caching !!) back Sun.
According to Mapsource, the whole trip will be around 1200 miles
Depending on how many detours we take looking for caches 
What's my name
-
A week to go and looking forward to it.
En route caching in the planning
-
At that price, surely as well to buy a Mio P550 and use Memory Map, giving one the added bonus of putting on Tom Tom , Cachemate and other useful software as well.
Pretty much came to that conclusion shortly after my post. But I like the "ruggedised" idea.
-
Anybody got any experience of the Satmap Active 10?
I've been led to believe you have to re-buy all your Memory Map maps to run on it
and they wont let on what platform it runs on However, despite that, it seems like a good piece of kit.
edit to sort link!!
edit to add: found it works on MS Windows CE 5.0 - so shouldn't Mem Map V5 run on it?
-
Perhaps a bit late if you have already decided on the Mio but I have recently bought an HTC Touch Cruise (P3650) and it has all the bells and whistles you could imagine from GPS to phone, from FMradio to WIFI and runs WM6. It has a 400 processor so is reasonable quick and so far I have been very pleased with it. Also it is incredibly small and light for all it does.
In answer to your question yes Memory Map 5 certainly runs on WM6, I am not sure about Cachemate as I have only fiddled with it, preferring HTML files for my caches.
Thanks John, not too late - haven't bought anything yet - but getting close as my old faithful 5550 is getting slower and slower and having more than it's fair share of issues with life.
Will have a look at the HTC - not sure I want a 'phone etc... but if it up for the job then it could be the solution.
-
Just found the Mio 560 is available from some outlets.
Will Memory Map 2004 or Ver 5 run on Windows mobile 6?
Same question for Cachemate?
How come I lost my premium membership?
