+BJ&Snurt101 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Is there a problem with the Query generator? I tried to have all "My Finds" generated today. I know the generator fires periodically through the day; my query was registered about 7 hours ago. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar? Frigid-in-Western-Maryland Link to comment

I d/l'd a local pq today, but 'my finds' won't generate. Once a week I understand. I'm now wondering if a link is broken. Thanks for the comeback. Link to comment

+intrepidca Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I am having a similar problem. I click on the "Add to queue" button, but it just refreshes the page and doesn't queue the query (normally, the button is disabled after clicking it). I last ran the my finds query on Dec. 29. I have tried several times with Firefox 3.5 and IE8 and get the same result every time. Is there a problem with the Query generator? I tried to have all "My Finds" generated today.

I click on the "Add to queue" button, but it just refreshes the page and doesn't queue the query (normally, the button is disabled after clicking it). I last ran the my finds query on Dec. 29..... Yes it seems broken again. Getting the same thing. The last My Finds I ran was 5 months ago. Link to comment
+zoltig Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah not generating here either. It just refreshes the page. Link to comment

+JesandTodd Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I find that you just have to click the button several times. I mean, like 6 times and it will finally generate. It will refresh and refresh, and then finally produce. Persistance. Link to comment
+Cardinal Red Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) I find that you just have to click the button several times. I mean, like 6 times and it will finally generate. It will refresh and refresh, and then finally produce. Persistance. I just "refreshed" the page 25 times. Nothing. Does that qualify as persistence? edit: I just realized I copy/pasted a spelling error. Fixed. Edited January 10, 2010 by Cardinal Red Link to comment
+JesandTodd Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 No, I never refreshed the page. I just kept clicking the button. Over and over. And I must say, this has happend to me that last three weeks! I run this PQ every week. Of course, the last My finds PQ I ran was on 1/3/10, so if that doesn't work, then maybe it's a new problem?

Sorry. I thought the "refreshed" in quotes more clearly indicated I was being facetious. Of course I hit the Add to queue box 25 times. All I got was 25 refreshes. But tomorrow will be seven days for you. It will still be broken. Try it. You'll see. Link to comment
+JesandTodd Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Oops. Sorry about that. I kinda thought you meant that. I'll try tomorrow after my day of caching and see how it goes. If it's broken then that blows. Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 When things are working, you only need to click once. There is no automatic refresh and the Last Generated doesn't change until the PQ actually runs, so using that to determine that you have successfully submitted the request is an error. Now clearly there is a problem. But the most likely thing is the My Finds hamster died and your requests are waiting in the queue for TPTB to replace the hamster. Link to comment
+tronador Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 "me too" Me three, it won't work for me either and the last time it ran was two weeks ago. I didn't realise the link gets broken. Are the powers that be aware of this??? Link to comment
+Bertus_Brutalis Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'm having the same problem. The page just refreshes and it seems the request is not forwarded to the processor (I believe the button should go gray to indicate the query has been fired correctly). Link to comment

+Rd King Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Same problem here - have been trying to find a find query for the last couple of day. Sent a note to Geocaching.com, received a work # but no resolution. Link to comment

+BJ&Snurt101 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Same problem here - have been trying to find a find query for the last couple of day. Sent a note to Geocaching.com, received a work # but no resolution. No, please, not the dreaded work #. This could trigger FEMA-NIMS (national incident management system) involvement, and the solution could take months. I would think a systemic problem of this scope would find the teckies that be swarming to the servers, hard-linking their laptops with q15 minute deliveries of Seattle's Best. I've tried punching the 'Add To Queue' repeatedly. The punching has morphed into left jabs; the button, not gray, is blue and purple. Link to comment

+webscouter. Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Maybe it's broke trying to figure out if a query is already in que? Stop punching the button so many times. If it doesn't work on the first time it isn't going to work the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth ..............twentysixth........eighty first time either. The button doesn't change from clickable to greyed out until the query runs. So even if it is in the que until it runs the button will be clickable. So you keep clicking it until the query finally runs, in the meantime you have sent eighty more request that the server has to determine have already been run. ONE PUSH then patience. If the query doens't run for several hours then you have a problem to report to Groundspeak. Link to comment

I do wish TPTB would change that transaction to be a bit more standard. Like giving immediate feedback that the site has registered the button press by dimming the button, then later giving feedback that the query actually ran. Rather like what happens when you submit a standard PQ: Something gets bolded when the query has run. --Larry Link to comment

I know the generator fires periodically through the day; my query was registered about 7 hours ago. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar? Frigid-in-Western-Maryland There is a problem with the website. I had at least ten geocaches that were new and I went to pull a query, I got three of the ten. So I decided to go out and cache anyhow and my Groundspeak app on my iPhone is failing me as well. It will not log into the network. Just seems it is always on a weekend when most are out caching. Not good. Oh well, another day. mtntrek Link to comment

I assume the site's having problems again, since the My Finds didn't automatically go "dark". I know from previous attempts that pressing it once eventually works. I was hoping to get some stats going today but I guess I'll go caching instead Link to comment
