I had posted earlier about having problems. Well, now I can upload photos and I didn't change anything on my end. However, still cannot upload a photo to change profile picture. And, I had been messaging some photos to another player and in the middle of the conversation, the photos stopped uploading and I still can't do it there. After extensive emails back and forth with GS help desk regarding the uploading profile picture, several suggestions were made for me to try. I tried all of them and none of them worked. Then, whoever was helping me tried to upload a profile picture and low and behold couldn't do it. THEN they set someone to look at the programming bug. The last I heard, about two weeks ago, was that they were still working on that.

I've had the same issue for about two weeks. I CAN log one photo from my android phone while making the initial log, but I usually do extended notes and photos from home at my desktop later. My husband and I each have an account, we use two different computers. I use Firefox, he uses explorer or chromium. Just one day and it stopped allowing photos. I get the same message mentioned in original post. On his, I was trying to upload a profile pic and got a "error 500." I have several emails / work orders back and forth with headquarters with helpful suggestions like "log out and back in again" or "delete your cookies." Tried all of it and nothing works. I have sent several screen shots. It was suggested the file name of my jpeg was too long so I shortened it. Same result. This is very frustrating because I take pride in writing up interesting logs and photos and I'm getting too far behind to do it the way I like.

In my local city park, a hurricane last fall and subsequent flooding caused several areas adjacent to the river bed to erode away and become dangerous. Perhaps a change in environment has made your cache less safe. Maybe you could discuss relocating it several hundred feet in a safer direction.

I recently wanted to host an event and I went to the Play/Hide a geocache page but couldn't find how to host an event. Some time went by, and I looked in the help center and found a link to "create your cache page" which then took me to the "create an event" page. But, the deadline for submitting the event had passed and so I didn't do it. I was wondering if there is a way to either add events to the "hide a cache" option or to add "create an event" to the drop down list under the "Play" tab or even "create an event" under the Community tab "events" page . I feel like I had to look way to much to find it. Also, even the wording "create your cache page" is misleading when it's then referred to as "create an event" (in the help center).

Thanks for the info!

I just read the lengthy instructions and they make no sense. How do you get to a benchmark's page? I think the website was redesigned because it says to click where it says .... it it just doesn't say that.

Thank you! igator210 - Perfect explanation! Touchstone - thanks for the link. I'll read up for more details.

Hello, I'm relatively new to geocaching. I see "Lab" caches as a type, but cannot find a basic explanation of what it is or how it works. It's not in the glossary of terms and when I do a search I get quite a few posts about how they are not "counted" in total finds, which still doesn't explain what it is. Also, when I search for cache types, it's not an option. I was hoping to see one on a map so I could read about it and figure out what it is and how it works, but no luck. So, can someone just explain it to me? Sorry if this is a redundant post, but I did search and couldn't find the very basics on what this is. Thank you!
