Keystone Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 See Jeremy's post in the Announcements forum, forewarning of tonight's scheduled upgrade of the image servers. Having the image servers fill up to capacity is a good problem to have. Things should be back to normal after the images are transferred. Link to comment
+pokerace Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 the maps are not showing.I checked several geocache's and no map. anybody else see this? Link to comment
+genegene Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 maps are working but not the pictures as of yet. Thanks for the info Keystone. I must have missed that post. I figured something was going on and not to worry to much about it. Link to comment

I was trying to upload some pics from a cache run tonight and ran into it. I'll wait until tomorrow to upload the pics. Link to comment
+Marky Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I guess it's taking longer than the planned 6-8 hours. I hope all is proceeding smoothly. --Marky Link to comment

+DivenDog Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 maps are working but not the pictures as of yet. Thanks for the info Keystone. I must have missed that post. I figured something was going on and not to worry to much about it. You must be doing something that I'm not. I have no 2nd map and have not had it since yesterday. I have three PCs and checked it on all of them even called a buddy and no map on any of them . The map that I am referring to is the second map mid way down the cache page that you click on and it launches google maps in a separate browser. I don't see how the image server can effect the map images that are produced by Google. Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone? -Dog Link to comment

This is exactly why more often than not they don't post estimated time schedules. Of course, when they don't do that people complain that they're not being told when something will be finished.

Some people are never happy. It was an estimate. Sometimes upgrades take longer than expected because the transfers don't happen as quickly as anticipated. Not having images isn't that bad. It's just a minor inconvenience and so far, everything GS has done, has been an effort to improve things. Would you rather they waited till they were completely out of space and then just arbitrarily go down? At least they gave a heads up. My advise? Go cache. Link to comment
+DeRock & The Psychic Cacher Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 It would appear that now I know which server the Wherigo website is located. It was down for the entire time also. Deane AKA: DeRock & the Psychic Cacher - Grattan MI Link to comment
Pacific Stereo Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I've noticed all images, both on the site and here at the forum to be very slow. I've also noticed secondarily that the forum itself is very slow (site seems normal, except for images). For example, it took a minute or more for this page to load. -Pacific Link to comment
+the hermit crabs Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I've noticed all images, both on the site and here at the forum to be very slow. In this post earlier today, Elias wrote: As of 6:15 AM Pacific time, the bulk of the upgrade has been completed and the image server is back online. It is still doing some of its own internal work so image performance will be noticeably degraded for much of the day. The final step in the process will require a quick reboot, and I hope to complete that this evening. If you notice anything wrong (other than slow images), please let us know. They're workin' on it Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Being the complaints were here, let me just add my thanks here. The image server is POPPING! Those pictures are loading fast now. Thanks for the great work! Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 why can't they ever keep to the time schedule that they posted online? Sometimes you don't know how long it'll take until you try. Link to comment
