+s32144 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Anyone having trouble with Geochecker? I haven't been able to use it for almost 24 hours - I keep getting an error message. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

There also seems to be some debate as to the third-party-ness of geochecker.com... Quote Link to comment
7rxc Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) A short while BEFORE the upgrade (days that is) I was doing verification on a local puzzle... I started with my best solution (failed), 2nd and 3rd best also failed. Came back the next day with one more guess, and in reverse order entered them again, just to be complete 4, 3, 2, 1... Guess which one achieved Success!... yep! the first to fail. Not sure if that happens often, but I accept that data can get corrupted in transmission... Just seemed to be a Murphy thing. At least Geochecker allows several tries in one sitting... I always try to accumulate a few solutions to try. I have postponed work on another verifier site that allows 1 per ten minutes, but has a really slow watch, and at one point was still rejecting 2nd tries even after 30 minutes not ten. Next Day OK! Might have been busy time or some other glitch... that one could allow a couple of tries per logon, but make the gap between sessions a bit longer. Still it's better than a checksum for long hauls and much faster than waiting for CO replies to email... Doug Edited January 14, 2010 by 7rxc Quote Link to comment

There's no reason the GC.com site's upgrade should have any effect on a site like geochecker. Quote Link to comment
+ePeterso2 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Actually, as was pointed out to me recently, there's a very good reason for at least considering the possibility that the geocaching.com upgrade affected the geochecker.com site: Registrant: Groundspeak PMB 321 24 Roy St Seattle, WA 98109 4018 US Registrar: 000DOM Domain Name: GEOCHECKER.COM Created on: 26-JUN-06 Expires on: 26-JUN-11 Last Updated on: 10-SEP-09 Administrative, Technical Contact: Administrator, Groundspeak Groundspeak PMB 321 24 Roy St Seattle, WA 98109 4018 US 206-405-1945 Domain servers in listed order: NS1.Groundspeak.NET NS2.Groundspeak.NET PS - Geochecker.com appears to be working again.
