Traditional Caches Missing.

[+Doombot!]

On the map view all traditional caches are missing!! It's like a bad flashback to early 2002!

[+GO West]

Yep, I confirm that. The mapping is my favorite feature of the site, by far. Also the most frustrating.

I'm glad you see it too--I thought Safari was acting up on me. I prefer Safari for the cache maps because I don't get that annoying "Page expired" pop-up going back and forth from the cache pages to the map.

It happens from time to time. If you click on the Identify radio button and then click in the area you are concerned then they will be identified and the numbers visible. Yeah, its a work around and a pain, but it does work.

I can't believe Jeremy has still not fixed this bug. Why the heck am I paying my membership fee for?

 

Wake up, Jeremy! We expect you to fix this! Deadline: yesterday!!!

[Jeremy]

I did fix it today. If it is messed up again I'll have to do it when I have access past the firewall, which will be in the early morning.

[+as77]

Thanks. This sounds to me like a temporary fix, though. The question is why it gets messed up repeatedly every now and then and whether you could fix it permanently.

And what should we do when we see the icons missing?

 

Wait patiently because things take time and they will come back?

 

Post here and hope you see it?

 

Send an e-mail?

[Jeremy]

We have been waiting for a software update which has recently arrived, but we're testing in-house to make sure it doesn't have any issues. In the meantime I shut off the scheduled update since when it fails partway through the process it still uses the incomplete data set.

 

Posting here is fine.

Does this mean we won't see any new traditional (or any?) cache icons until the new software is OK?

 

Or does it just mean we won't see them on a scheduled basis, but you (or someone) will start the update process occasionally?

leave jeremy alone!!

 

computers mess up on things all to much so yes there are just temporary fixs too keep every thing up and running with out too much if any down time

but like jeremy said they are testing a new software to see if it has bugs

 

let him work on it like he said

 

i meen you can still log caches right???

 

and there are other geocaching maps online

other then the geocaching.com maps

It was a request for information, not a complaint.

[+as77]

No, it was a complaint from my part and I don't see why we should leave Jeremy alone, he's the head of the company and it's him that should be bothered when there is a problem. It's part of his job to take the nagging from the users.

No. I'll just execute them myself daily to make sure they all get generated.

True. And generally speaking, however (and not directed at you), if you're a jerk about it that doesn't help much. So yeah, comment away but if you're less jerky it makes everyone happier.

Thanks for the extra effort until you can make this (reliably) automatic.
