Further to gushoneybun's post above, you can see your user number if you hover your mouse over your user name at the start of your post then look at your browser's status bar - daytribe, yours is 392449.

Thanks Bill D (wwh), for the last bit; i never though to say that bit

Thanks for that. I've really missed those red dots.

Great site. I actually prefer the "my stats" map to a shaded county map, as it shows a truer picture (I get the whole of london shaded for a quick find at Heathrow). I have both, and you can clearly see a large cluster near home, but then you can also see quite clearly a line of cache and dashes on the M1/M6/M42/M40.

However, I'm still waiting for at least one of my placed caches to be recognised after a couple of weeks.

any help appreciated.

That must be Dave - Looking out for his Brother . The reason it does not appear is it a member only cache. Only caches open to all appear on gcuk.com, this is to comply with GS requirements that member only caches are only available to paying members. If you want it to appear you will need to change the status.

I didn't know that, thank you.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /home/geocache/public_html/stats/connect.php on line 25

I cannot connect to the database.

I've not been able to log in for ages now and emails to Teasel don't get answered.

It's back! It's back! OK, so it's slow as it probably has some catching up to do, but hey, at least I can see a few red dots for some of my Scottish finds from last week now.

Thank you to the admin guys, whichever combination of you it is (Ian?) - much appreciated!

Although the main site is working the database seems to have a problem which is preventing it displaying, maps, stats, etc.

The error I'm seeing is:

Couldn't insert caches into sresult - insert into sresult (query_id, type, cache_id) select 1066364, 'G',cache.id from cache where cache.uk_ind = 'Y' and cache.problem_ind = 'N' and cache.archived_ind = 'N' and cache.available_ind = 'Y' and cache.archived_ind = 'N' and cache.available_ind = 'Y' - Table './stats/cache' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

June 13, 2008

This is the error Im getting:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'geocache_stats@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/geocache/public_html/stats/connect.php on line 24

Does anyone know what is happening with the site? I did email Ian several days ago with no reply. I donate three PQ's to the site daily, but have curtailed them to every other day at the moment to use them myself.

June 26, 2008

Seems to still be down - great shame. Anyone got any news on the problem and its resolution?

Excellent news. Just in case it goes down again, here are all the event caches. I really miss this list when I can't get it!

There seems to be quite a few events missing off this list (I suppose they may have been published whilst the site was down - so may be updated soon).

I find the easiest way to look at the forthcoming events is to click on 'Newest in... Uk' on 'My Account' page. Because all events are in the future they are all listed first (although you have to go forward a couple of pages to find the next event)

July 5, 2008

Nice to have it back although I suspect it will take a couple of days before the database is updated. Then I will need a hour or so spare to update and rate all the caches that we have done since it went down!

Still a small price to pay.

Down again.

Too many people checking the site!

Next time it's back, dont look!

I stopped my PQ's going to it a while back, as there seemed no point, when it did reappear it was then so far out of date with a backlog of PQ's, so I stopped them to reduce the backlog. I know Deci tried to contact the owner, a few weeks back any news on that? as I do have an old email address for Ian (Teasel) if required.

Sorry I've not yet received a reply, but do have a different avenue of approach to try. Especially as there is a offer of help from a very experienced source.

Any news on if/when geocacheuk will be returning.

I currently donate a PQ to the site - Is it still worth running it on a daily basis?

I suspended all mine, as when it did come back a while back it was slowly churning through them, so though best it just had one of each that I gave rather than dozens of them.

Been keeping an eye out for postings on the health of our favourite caching site. Is it time to accept that it is now likened unto the dodo gone never to return? Or is there anyone who could give us a sign of hope that it may one day be resurrected.

I've pretty much given up on it now it's been down for so long, and when it has come back it has only lasted a few hours
