+grrtrainman Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Uh Oh, I was setting up an area of caches that I would like to find using the map feature. Wait a minute - there's a big problem! The caches that I have previously found are shown as unfound, (no smiley). No I do NOT have the "hide my finds" checked. Heck, not even the "hide my hides" is working. Not good - what's up ???

+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I think it's a problem with timing out of the session. When you're on the map and hit the refresh on the side of the page, do the caches change position? Quote Link to comment

No smilies anywhere on Google Maps, even near home coordinates. Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Same problem here in AZ. And I even own the cache in Harter Park. Local Caches. Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I just checked the maps and it has happened to me too! Quote Link to comment

When you're on the map and hit the refresh on the side of the page, do the caches change position? Normally when this happens this is the case, But the moment I opened the map today I had no finds. I opened a new map ... same thing. this happened last week too. They fixed it at Groundspeak, but it broke again I guess. I hope they see this. Quote Link to comment
+gpaton1 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm having the same problem. It's as if Google Maps thinks you are not signed in. I logged out and back in and nothing changed. I also checked to make sure my browser (Firefox) was accepting cookies and then checked to make sure the geocaching cookie was in the list. It looks like a problem with the geocaching web site.

+Red Ryder Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've experienced this too. In fact, I've got it going on right NOW! This is the second time I've had it happen. PQ are also giving me a problem, when I click on "Traditional" caches, my PQ includes event caches and letter boxes. I didn't click those boxes when setting up the PQ but, they've been included anyhow. Quote Link to comment
+intrepidca Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have also been experiencing this. I've logged out and back in and no luck. Quote Link to comment
+edscott Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yes, it is broken again for me too. It is especially frustrating for someone who depends on maps for planning purposes. Quote Link to comment
+LyneEric Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Same problem for me.. i've just installed IE9 yesterday.. maybe this is the problem ?! Quote Link to comment
+DadOf6Furrballs Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Same problem for me.. i've just installed IE9 yesterday.. maybe this is the problem ?! Don't think it's browser specific. I'm running Firefox 3.6.15 here, with Greasemonky scripts turned off. No smilies. edit: slip of the number finger Edited March 27, 2011 by DadOf6Furrballs Quote Link to comment
+edscott Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 ...and now it is working again. I wonder if when the system gets overloaded some features get dumped to allow some functionality to continue. Quote Link to comment
+grrtrainman Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Holy Cow, yup, so now it's up and running again, (the smileys are back!) Go figure. Was there someone at HQ who saw and fixed the problem? If so, thanks for the fix ... Quote Link to comment

This seems to be Groundspeak's new strategy for keeping things going when too many people are using the site. Disable important features. They did it last Sunday. Quote Link to comment
+edscott Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) This morning all the tabs across of profile pages have been deactivated. Geocaches, Statistics, Gallery, etc.... 12 minutes later....never mind.. it is back again Edited March 28, 2011 by edscott Quote Link to comment
