KML Link Expiration

[+Misha]

Any help is appreciated. Below I attached the associated code, that I copied. If I click on it it takes me to a city, specifically a university in The State of Washington.

Experiencing the same problem with KML Link Expiration. Instructions state to "go to My Account Page".....hmmmmm. I've reloaded Google Earth and associated KML File, but the problem persists. Clicking on the KML Link Expiration takes me to N47°37'13.38" W122°20'56.47". Any suggestions/help/assistance on this problem greatly appreciated.

Should this be in geocaching.com forum and not in here? TPTB would be more likely to see it there.

I found a solution and e-mailed the OP direct.

Would you mind sharing with the rest of us that are having the same problem?

Yeah -- what he said!

Here's what I did that worked. (Mac OS X, but I don't think that matters)

-Download a new KML file by clicking on "Download Geocache browser in Google Earth" in your "my account page"

-Click on the "geocaching network KML" in Google Earth and delete it.

-Drag the new kml file into that same window in Google Earth.

 

I had also downloaded the latest version of GE (which now annoyingly switches between the geocaching icons and yellow push-pin icons) first, but that did not solve the issue.

Had the same problem, did a quick google search, landed here...

Thanks swansont for posting the fix. It worked perfectly!
