+New England n00b Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 (edited) Hi; I was going over past logs. Clicking on them from the page where it lists all your recent logs, the first two came up fine, but the rest were all blank pages, with no HTML source (tried View - Page Source in Firefox). I dunno if you are tweaking something, but it tweaked alright. FWIW, the links appear to be correct (here is an example): http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...3c57a&log=y Note that the first two that did work did not do so on subsequent clicks. Thanks! n00b EDIT: Well, it suddenly seems to work now... Edited July 5, 2007 by New England n00b Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Sounds like you hit up against the automatic throttling mechanism that is supposed to keep the 'bots out. Hopefully they were tweaking it because I've heard of several people that were getting hit with it even when browsing normally and manually. Link to comment
robertlipe Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I don't know if there's been a change recently or not, but it's been my experience this week (as disclosure, I'm a computer guy, not using a wimpy internet connection, am using a laptop - not a 100 processor cluster, and I know how to operate a web browser without looking at the manual between clicks) that as few as five clicks in a relatively short time on the host site is enough to get you on the short term naughty list. Just looking at the new caches in an area is enough to get one booted. It's very frustrating. I realize the site has availability problems, but this is the ONLY site I deal with that throttles pages at such a frustratingly low limit. Link to comment
+dino-irl Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Just got that but it's probably because I tried to open about 23 caches from GSAK, one after the other! Link to comment

That's sorta what I was doing - clicking the last logs in my profile - I hit 7 or 8 one after the other (opened in new tab) so I could check up on the caches. Link to comment
