Errors on Seeking A Cache page

[+techiegrl64]

I am using Windows XP Professional with MSIE 7.0.5730 (and I just upgraded to MSIE 7 because of the previous site changes that made it impossible for me to search on the previous version).

 

From the "Seek A Cache" page (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/default.aspx) I am getting errors on nearly every single type of search. I have taken screen captures of all the errors, and they all have the same error message followed by the parameters applicable for that type of search:

 

"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp.....<parameter values here>....Operation aborted."

 

These searches are giving me the error indicated above: by address, by friend name, by state, by zip code, by country, by keyword, by area code, hidden by username, found by username, by latitude/longitude in WGS84 datum. These errors are generated every single time I try any of these searches.

 

Here is a specific example (by address search): "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...64&dist=100. Operation aborted"

 

So far the only searches that seem to work for me are: state page, Google maps, exact GC code. I am able to preview PQs at this time but that means I have to set up PQs and keep adjusting them around for trips that I am researching.

 

I first noticed this error on Monday morning (I also encountered the 500 internal server errors while trying to upload photos yesterday).

We have seen this reported by others. There is some discussion of the problem here which may offer some clues. We'll get to the bottom of it.
