never mind. topic closed

i posted the same question on topografix forum after i reallised how stupid i was so this one can be closed and i wait for the answer on the other forum

you are right. it's in geobuddy. i neve looked in the loc file itself to check stupid me

yeah happy thanksgiving.... can somebody tell me what you are thankfull for?? something in general or just a lame excuse to eat and drink to much ?? we don't know this thansgiving thing in the netherlands but sometimes you hear about it in movies orso but i still don't know what it is....

first of all: if this has ever been noticed before or if there is another tread about this subject then i'm sorry but i couldn't find it. i noticed that when i download loc files from the gc.com site there are sometimes errors in it. CGxxxx numbers are messed up. when you import the loc file in e.g. geobuddy and add it to your watchlist sometimes wrong caches are put on your list. so far i found 2 in the netherlands. 1 ended up in missourie (US) and 1 in UK... its a bit difficult to show but if you click here and goto page 5 and select OUDE SPOORDIJK and download the locfile you see what happens when you open it in geobuddy. it will give a cache in UK in short: GCF479 turns into GC9B87 i found another one but i think you get the point. (i hope)

nobody is hating you or the work you do for "us" we just hate to see the site not working perfect but we love you

okay, i'm still pretty sure that there are a lot of providers that can take this kind of traffic without problems. but another idea ?? offline logging. there is probebly somebody (no not me, i just have the idea) that can build a small program where you just enter the data (cacheID, date, time, TB numbers that you dropped and picked up and the textlog) and that will put it on the site when there is a free connection. Now there are people that start screaming that they don't have a DSL or Cable connection... well thats just to bad for you. For the others that do have it it will be possible to enter the data and just send it. the program then will try to upload it and when it's done it will tell you in the program.... stupid idea ?? tell me a better one... just trying to help here from the netherlands btw: i love geocaching haahahaha

the problem is really simpel: the webhost can't handle this kind of traffic. there are providers and servers that handle much much more then just a few geocachers. hotmail/google/yahoo/gmail/ they have thousends of hit per second and you never see a timed out on google.... i think you should just find another webhost that can handle this kind of traffic... wont be that hard... good luck
