I have tried to get on the site a few times this morning and all I get is the above message Anyone else having problems getting onto geocaching.com? Quote
quimbly Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I'm getting the same problem. A bit annoying as I was planning on a cache or two today. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Snap! "The type initializer for "Groundspeak.Web.CustomWpt.Geocache" threw an exception." And it's not even Sunday. I had hoped to do some caching today but I guess that might not be happening now... Quote

I had hoped to do some caching today but I guess that might not be happening now... At least its not just me!! Its chucking it down here at the moment so do not have this desire to go caching and I dont cache on my own but I was looking for some caches to do this weekend. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Pah! Call yourself a cacher? It's only a little rain. It's only a tad torrential... Quote
Nediam Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 It was doing the same earlier this/last week. It should be OK in an hour or two (fingers crossed) Quote
+wizard1974uk Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I guess we'll get the usual "oh the server fell over again" excuse. Quote
+LollyBob Posted March 24, 2006 Author Posted March 24, 2006 I guess we'll get the usual "oh the server fell over again" excuse. Well there is a lot of mud around at this time of year! Quote

The Toughs Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Trying to log my finds, and its sooooooooooooooooooooooo slow Quote
+The Bolas Heathens Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) I've been trying to log a TB find since yesterday and still not managed it - I got the log (after about 10 attempts) but it's not moved the TB from the cache into my inventory. Frustrating to say the least. Trying to log my finds, and its sooooooooooooooooooooooo slow Edited March 26, 2006 by The Bolas Heathens Quote

Frustrating to say the least. Excactly the same thing has happened to me Quote
+The Bolas Heathens Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Hmmm - getting the "server too busy" message for a while now. Wish they would spend my money on getting more servers or ones that could cope with the traffic. The crazy thing is I don't mind paying more annual subs if I know the service is good. Quote
+Wizard William and Team Morris Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Couldn't log anything yesterday so found my excuse for coming home early today - needed to log my caching exploits. Quote
+scaw Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I hate Sunday nights everything gets so bogged down Quote
+davy boy Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Seems to me most nights are the same now,took a couple of attempts to log this and getting into your home page takes about five mins. Its sooooooooo slow!!! Quote
+Geo-Kate Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Seems to me most nights are the same now,took a couple of attempts to log this and getting into your home page takes about five mins. Its sooooooooo slow!!! From what I understand, the server problems are due to the servers all being in Seattle, and the slow-down occurs when the US gets on-line. At least we have the morning and early afternoon of relative speed. Image how frustrating it is in the states where it will be slow all day every day except the middle of the night! Quote
+rutson Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Oh I don't know, I came on at 3:30am when I got up and it was still crawling like a disabled snail. Quote

+stora Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 "yeah, at 3:30 in the morning it's the middle of the day in America!" no matter how many times I read this, it still does not make sense to me Quote

It's mainly just slow on Friday night and the weekends, not all the time. I just did some logs this morning (Monday) and it wasn't bad at all. Quote
+rutson Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Well that's all very well and good for those us us who have time to log in the mornings while the US is asleep. Quote
+Learned Gerbil Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 I have had multiple errors today at al ltimes including a few minutes ago. (It was a charity cache I was viewing at the time though!) Quote
+Learned Gerbil Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Right now simply trying to access GC.COM gets "Server Error in '/' Application. Server Too Busy" Edited March 27, 2006 by Learned Gerbil Quote
+freespirit1402 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 like i said in the other thread now they are running a commercial cache they could raise money to buy themselves a decent server! Quote
+CrazyL200 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 like i said in the other thread now they are running a commercial cache they could raise money to buy themselves a decent server! As I've commented on the "commercial cache" thread - the speed this thing runs at sometimes is dreadful. If a web based business had this sort of speed and number of "busy server" responses it would be calling in the receivers soon. Quote
+The Bolas Heathens Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 This is getting beyond a joke. I've just been out to bag 2 new FTF's before breakfast and am trying to log them but get the following error now: "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached." Are TPTB actively doing something to stop this happening so often? Quote
Deego Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I have 14 caches to log from Saturday and have given up trying Quote
+wizard1974uk Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Its not as if the pattern of usage is unpredictable. It always happens at the same time, its ok TPTB saying things are happening behind the scenes, but we actually need to see some proof this side of the fence. I know its going to take a bit of time to fix, but surely a quick fix can be put in place for the short term? Quote
+bhodisatva Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 The thing goes down quicker and more often than a Amsterdam hooker, trying to log todays caches and am getting "server busy" error messages, tis just a tad annoying. Quote
+davy boy Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) Perhaps if we all mail Jeremy at once he may listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems to have got steadily worse over the last week though and still getting slower by the day,seem to get more timeouts than cache pages now!! Edited to say mail has been sent and waiting response.. Edited March 28, 2006 by davy boy Quote
+freespirit1402 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Snap! "The type initializer for "Groundspeak.Web.CustomWpt.Geocache" threw an exception." so is exception just another word for tantrum? Quote
+Hillhappy1 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 GONE AGAIN - Third Time today i can't get a page up. Getting really pi**ed with this now. Just renewed my subscription too! (not that i wouldn't have anyway) Aaaahhhhhh! Rant Rant. Quote
+CrazyL200 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I must be mad, I've just sat at the pc for 2 hours logging 10 caches for today - sooooooooo sloooooowwwww Quote
+steviep Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 USA orientated. FULL STOP! we are small fish this side of the pond, but it's still a good site? when we can get on that is! Quote
+The Bolas Heathens Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 I'm just trying to log my 27 finds for today and it's painful to say the least []. Comes to something when it takes longer to log the caches than it does to find them. Quote
+Hillhappy1 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Getting worse!!!! 20 minutes just to log on to the site tonight. Nearly gave up Quote
