"found" Caches Not Showing On Map

[+YBIndoors]

I logged more than 30 geocaches on September 17th and 18th. They all show up on my MY ACCOUNT page at geocaching.com, but the red check marks do not appear on any of them on the map. Yes, I have "caches I have found" checked in the legend to the right of the map, and all of my other finds show up on the map with a red check mark. It is only these 35-or-so caches that do not have the red check mark. Can this be corrected?

Thanks,

YBIndoors

Can this be corrected?

I'm sure it can, at least temporarily.

 

This is a frequent occurence recently. At the moment, my finds since Sept 9th are missing the red check marks.

 

If you send a support request to Groundspeak, they will rattle the hamsters' cages and the check marks will appear in a few days.

 

Evidently there is no one whose responsibility it is to keep the hamsters awake.

 

(And since I had to go to the screens to find where to do that, I'll go ahead and sent the request.)

BUMP

 

This is happening to me too. I'd also like the ability to uncheck it on the Identify option so I *don't* see the ones I've found already.

Good point, HugpBear, the red checks are a useful feature and something that many of us have come to depend on.

 

In the many threads on this subject, I HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE RESPONSE FROM GROUNDSPEEK! WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!

Well, it is the weekend. Maybe they are out enjoying themselves.

 

How long has it been since check marks have been updated? I have 9/1 finds with checks and 9/9 finds (and after) without.

 

Maybe a daily posting to this thread like the networks do with major stories:

 

The Missing Checkmarks: Day 23.

 

(Assuming 9/9 is the first date missing, which I have no idea if that's true, and being very impatient and expecting check marks the next day.)

The Missing Checkmarks: Day 24

 

Signs of hope:

 

We have been having some issues with our mapping server recently that have

been causing the checkmarks to not show on the maps (as you've already

noticed). We very much apologize for the inconvenience but know that we

have isolated the problem and the checkmarks will reappear in the next day

or two.

 

The above is the response to my help request. So the checkmarks should be back shortly...and if they really did isolate (and fix) the problem, maybe we'll return to having our checkmarks routinely updated within a few days of the finds.

Day 29 for me - since my finds on Sept. 4. Also, new caches don't show up on the maps since then either - i.e., no map updates are appearing since early September.

 

Thanks for sending the help request and sharing the response; I do wish TPTB would occasionally post here on key issues. Isn't that partly what this forum is for?

[+beejay&esskay]

My checkmarks are updated (at least through 9/30).

 

(New caches aren't on the map, but that wasn't the complaint of this thread. )

[+GO West]

My checkmarks have been updated also, through last weekend. Thanks, Groundspeak!

[+hydnsek]

I think I'm gonna cry....all my finds are now showing up, as well as all the new caches I placed in the past month! Yeah!!

[+geognerd]

Hmm. My finds since Sep 24 aren't showing up on the maps. I guess the hamsters are on break again.

[+beejay&esskay]

My finds from 9/30 have happy little check marks...maybe you've angered the hamsters...

 

I don't know if all users should expect check marks to be updated at the same time or not.

 

Finds from 10/5 do not have check marks yet.

[+team coonhusker]

no check marks since 10/8/05. this has been an ongoing problem since i started my premium membership quite a long time ago. sorta sucks since it is the only reason that i have a premium membership

That's strange. Even the most recent cache I have dowe on 10/19 is showing up. Make sure you have both the check box in the legend for "Found caches" andthe chekmark below the map for "List Found Caches" checked off. Then refresh and see what happens.

[+beejay&esskay]

Not sure if we're talking about the same thing or not. The problem is the red checks on the geocaching map that shows what you've found.

 

None of my caches on or after 10/5 have check marks.

[+beejay&esskay]

All my finds (through 10/23) now have check marks on the map.

 

Now let's see if the check marks are updated more than once every 3 weeks.

 

[+team coonhusker]

yay we have red checks as of today.
