+Geoscouts.eu Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've noticed recently that when I'm browsing caches in google maps the "my finds" smileys which are there initially now have a habit of reverting to ordinary cache icons when I move the map which makes "hide my finds" impossible. Is this a bug that has appeared recently? Anybody else spot it? Quote Link to comment
+escomag Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yes, I have noticed it to. When I reload the page, it clears up the problem. Quote Link to comment
+Mother Wolf Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Here too but when I refresh it then also puts the numbers by them so I have to also uncheck that box. Maybe tomorrows update will fix that without adding more gliches in its place. Quote Link to comment

+alexandi Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 same here. Let´s see if the major update tomorrow will fix it. Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Let´s see if the major update tomorrow will fix it. No it won't. Tomorrow's update is only an infrastructure update. The monthly code update will come next week. Quote Link to comment
+buttz Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Same issue here. Good to see it isn't just me. Quote Link to comment
+rjb43nh Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I've had the same problem. When it happens look in the upper right area of your map screen on the gray line where it says: "You are logged in as xxxxxx. Log out". Click on "Log out" and you should see the log in screen appear. Log in and your smilies will return. I don't have any idea why this is happening but apparently you are randomly being logged out so the smilies revert to regular cache symbols despite the gray header line still saying you are logged in when you're not. Once you log back in the smilies will return. Call this an undocumented feature. Quote Link to comment
+OldLog Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I don't know that the major update improved anything it takes for ever to post a reply on the forum now. Quote Link to comment
+Mother Wolf Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 you can actually just refresh & they come back but they will have the numbers by them. If you dont want them click off the box. It is a bit better than logging out /in again. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment

+solo63137 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Happy to report no issues, speed or otherwise today.... We all complain when somethings not right, figured I ought to speak up when it is working right... Quote Link to comment
+Cobra67 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Happy to report no issues, speed or otherwise today.... We all complain when somethings not right, figured I ought to speak up when it is working right... Hmmm. All day I have STILL been having that glitch. When I refresh the web page, it does fix the problem, but reverts to my home coords. So if I have zoomed in or out, or have panned, none of that is remembered. It didn't used to be that way!

+power69 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Yes, I have noticed it to. When I reload the page, it clears up the problem. that also takes you back to home coords. attempting to drag the map so far recreates the bug. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Still encountering this issue. It appears that if I leave the google map page open for a certain period of time, it "forgets" who I am and shows all caches as "unfound". As noted by others, reloading "fixes" it but goes back to the original coordinates where the map was opened. Quote Link to comment

Not a huge deal I guess, but I like to scout out my next area of attack, sometimes a few days ahead of time and leave a tab open with this... Tried it with and without the auto-refresh checked too... I figured that was mostly for when you pan around on the map, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try toggling that to see... Quote Link to comment
+AlohaBra and MaksMom Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) Still happens to me.....it is a bug at Groundspeak.... I will figure out how to report this to the powers to be..... Edited December 30, 2010 by alohabra Quote Link to comment
+Postholedigger Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Sorry to bring back a zombie thread that hasn't been posted on in forever, but did this issue get resolved or is there a setting on our browsers that need to be changed? I'm still having this issue. It's not like it's a serious issue that's life-threatening or anything but wouldn't mind if there was a solution to it. Quote Link to comment
+Mother Wolf Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 well here it is May 27th & the da** smileys still disappear & I have to refresh & start over. Is it really asking too much that this ever gets fixed?????????? Quote Link to comment

Is it really asking too much that this ever gets fixed?????????? I'd say its a masterstroke of genius. After smilies on the map was broken completely (official reason : server load) now that we have it back, even though it still times out, no one seems to mind it as much. Thanks for bringing it up. Personalization is still timing out for me on beta maps, when I leave it open for around 30 minutes. Quote Link to comment
