+PJPeters Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Cool! Now that things are 'fixed,' anybody important (read: Groundspeak types) care to share what happened? Enquiring minds want to know! (Mainly, just because I'm nosy! ) Link to comment

+Michael Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yes we are now running normally. The problem has been corrected. Thank you for your patience Link to comment
+neat_guy Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks all for posting here! My daughter woke up sick today so that cancelled any and all caching plans. Thanks for giving me an amusing alternative. I also would like to say thanks to the Groundspeak guys for getting things straightened out in a more than reasonable amount of time. (in my opinion anyway). As a member for 4 years, any and all problems have been worked thru. In another forum discussion, the topic is user ID #'s, it is being discussed how fast membership is growing. Yea, these guys have been maintaining/operating this site for quite a while, but as fast as demands (and technology) are changing, I'm sure it seems like they are constantly in a new learning curve. Here's to you, Mr. Geocache Website Designer Guy, THIS BUDS FOR YOU!!! Link to comment
+KoosKoos Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 If you guys been aroudn here long enough. You would relize that this happens quite often and I have gotten used to it especailly if they did some changes durring week as it appears they had with that new error page in which I am having issues with. This topic is not to discuss about why in the heck I am spending $2.50 and month about this, it is about the problem with my account page. I put my premium membership to good use and use the tool GSAK along with PQs to keep me up with my Geocaches even if the site is down. Now as I mentioned in the other topic. The only page that is not working for me is my account page at http://www.geocaching.com/my and what its doing is hijacking me to the error page to a different address at http://www.geocaching.com/error/general.aspx, disabling my ability to use the F5 key. I am considering sending in a support ticket over this new site problem as If I get this page while submitting something my browser would automatically bring up that error page even if its working because, one it changed the address to directly the error page and not the page I needed, and two my browser has a screwy cache (Temporary Internet Files) system. I'm not so sure that's a bug. If part of the problem is load caused by users loading the "my" page, I can see why they wouldn't want 1000 users hitting F5 over and over again to see if it will load "this" time...thereby multiplying the underlying load problem.

+hikerT Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Finally! I thought it was my dial up, my CPU, my connections... But it gave me time to play with my GSAK macros that I never get time to fiddle with. Link to comment

+Lil Devil Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 For those of us in the tech field, can you disclose what was the problem was and how it was fixed? The doohickey wasn't communicating with the whatchamacallit because the thingamajig was discombobulated. Once the doodad was rebooted, everything started working normally. Link to comment
