Benchmarks on the site coming up with ERROR!

[+eagsc7]

Today I went out and searched for benchmarks by coordinates and it came up with a list. The first few came up as I clicked on the links for them. Then, I hit a brickwall. They stopped working at all. I assumed that it was just that search. I went back, searched again, and had the same result.

 

What is up with the Database? I heard a rumor that it was being moved to another site... or something.

 

The Steaks

That happened to me yesterday also. Then it was back online. I think it was just some temporary system maintenance or reboot. I haven't heard of any movement planned.

[+pgrig]

Yup, it's happening to me right now. I can pull up MY0235, but when I try to log it, I get an error msg.

[+TheBeanTeam]

When I try to get to a benchmark using a link pasted in the forums I come up with an error. I can still get to them by going in through the geocaching site directly though.

 

Odd. They just did a release of new code yesterday I wonder if it is related.

[+eagsc7]

Good.. well.. not so good, but at least I'm not the only one []

[+dtshaw66]

Crazy - this is happening to me too. I can get to the log visit page of the BM's I've already found, but can't log any new ones.

[OpinioNate]

Checking into this, guys. Please hang in there for a bit while we track down the problem.

 

Edit: Found the problem and we'll be hotfixing momentarily. Thanks for being patient.

Hotfix is in for the big issue, but there seems to be still another bug that prevents logging on about every 20th benchmark or so. We'll keep at it but for now you should mostly be able to go about your business.

[+eagsc7]

Woohoo.. Thanks for the quick response! It may have been fixed, but will test more in 14 hours... once I get off work...

Still can't log EW1435.

It has not changed for me. I can't log any of the 4 I recovered today, I get an error message every time.

[+Shorelander]

Yeah, the ones I've tried in the TUs are unloggable as well.

[ertyu]

I can't enter a log either

[+GWRoss]

Still can't log EW1435.

Ditto, DY1185.

Anyone and everyone who is having an issue should tell exactly what has happened here on this thread.

 

Give OpinioNate as much info as possible. He has to know what is going on before he can fix it.

 

Thank you all.

I just now tried this with EW1435.

I get the same results with my old Netscape 7.2, Internet Explorer 6.0, and Google Chrome 0.2.

As I posted earlier, it might help if you go to the link provided in the Quote to give Nate the complete picture of what the problem is. It will be quicker for him to see it there and he might not come to this thread to see these posts. So, here is the post...

I am getting that error for about 13 that I still need to log.

I have only been able to get the logs through for 5 of the 18 i NEEDED TO LOG.

 

I am also having trouble posting pictures to some older ones that I logged but have not uploaded the pictures to yet.

My guess is that they're not in today to fix things? I hope to see it fixed tomorrow, because none of mine are working.

[+Kohavis]

I also got the error when I tried logging a benchmark find this morning. I click the "Log this benchmark" link and it takes me to an error reporting screen.

 

I've reported it already.

[+stujan]

I have been trying to log TT0751 benchmark for the last two days without any luck:( I logged another BM yesterday without any problems

 

I don't understand it but I hope it gets fixed soon before I loose interest.

I just finished logging my Saturday finds on GC, after trying all weekend. Looks like it's back up and running again.

[+pgrig]

I had been able to log some and not others, but now a couple I couldn't log over the weekend have become "available" again.

[+mystagogic]

I was just able to log a benchmark that gave me trouble since last Friday!

[AZcachemeister]

Last night I logged about thirty from Sunday's hunt with only one small glitch.

I guess the crisis is over...
