+Team Noodles Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Trying to post a Maint. log. Cant get into geocaching.com to do so. Is the site down??? no, just painfully slow again, again. Again. We're stuck in a time-warp here me thinks...again... Link to comment
+Mother Wolf Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Not just slow but comes up error or unavailable at this time try again later. Whats up! FOLKS ARE SCREAMING TO GET STUFF LOGGED FROM SOME EVENTS. Link to comment
+dakboy Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Just slow here. PQs slowed down a lot over the past few days, should have seen this coming. Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 This seems to be a weekly occurrence. The site is always slow on the weekends. If people aren't complaining about it being slow they are complaining about features being turned off so the site won't be slow. Its all from too much traffic. Weekends are the time that everyone is trying to find or log caches. Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I've had the errors and then so slow I didn't have the patience to wait and see if the page ever loaded. I was like 5 minutes in at tht point. Link to comment

GOF and Bacall Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yup. Just like the good old days. Growing pains. The demand overwhelms the resources and people start to scream. Best bet is to log your weekend finds mid week. Link to comment
+simpjkee Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
+Ike 13 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wouldn't load. Now it's just painful slow. I guess we can blame the beautiful caching weather. Link to comment
+Danbike_Lizbike Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Site is up again, but slow. NO PQs yet. Link to comment
+LewisClan77 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Been working just fine for me. Link to comment
+tony_c Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Was logging some finds earlier, and waiting between one and two minutes for the page to refresh each time. Set a 'my finds' to run too, but i'm not going to hold much hope out that that will run any time soon. Rather disappointing in my mind. If Groundspeak think this is an acceptible level of service, perhaps they could publish some stats around how much stress the servers are under, and what capacity they are running at. It'll give me a chance to plan my admin, rather that than the great silence, and a long wait... I know, I know, weekends are busy, but that's when I want to do my updates, when it suits me...

+jsdad Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yeah, non working earlier today with me. I realize they get hammered on the weekend, but we are paying for this service and would like it working when we need it. Just my friendly rant. Link to comment
+grouchymedic Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yep--They want the fee and normally do a great job but its time to invest the profits in getting the service up to speed, even on weekends or drop the fee. Link to comment

+Manville Possum Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 The site is REAL slow, and we are unable to submit a listing for review. Link to comment
+t4e Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I guess we can blame the beautiful caching weather. Its spring time! say what? this was the weather today for us Link to comment
camdendoziers Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I am new to geocaching and today is the first day I have experienced the error messages and slowness. For the enjoyment we are getting fromall of this it is worth it. Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Some of you should have been around when it was REALLY messed up. Just have a donut and do your logging mid week. Trying to prod the frog is a total waste of energy. Link to comment
+ngrrfan Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I guess we can blame the beautiful caching weather. Its spring time! say what? this was the weather today for us Yep.... just what they said.... Beautiful caching weather. Link to comment
+GrateBear Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I know, I know, weekends are busy, but that's when I want to do my updates, when it suits me... And that's probably the same time it suits those who work on the site, to have a couple of days off Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's my fault. I posted on my Facebook page today that people should wake up and get out and have some fun. Next week I'll post that everyone should stay inside and catch some extra zzzzzz's. Link to comment

+Mother Wolf Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 So is the site every going to get fixed or is everyone on vacation? At least some kind of response from someone at GS would be nice to say 'hey this is whats going on'. It's really a PAIN to have plans to go out caching & not be able to get the info you need or to have been out & now cant do any logging. Worse yet is to have sponsored an event & not have the folks who attended be able to log all of the caches etc. Gee thanks for all the effort here. Link to comment
Mr.Yuck Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I am new to geocaching and today is the first day I have experienced the error messages and slowness. For the enjoyment we are getting fromall of this it is worth it. It's a "Sunday thing". I first noticed it in 2004, I don't know if it goes back even further. Busiest day of the week for the website, and people logging their finds. Not saying it's happened every single Sunday for 7+ years though. Well, my area (Western NY) can not be blamed for this. I'm sure very few logs were posted over the weekend. We had all-day rain on Saturday, and wet, heavy "stick to grass and rooftop" type snow as posted in the pic by T4e. Link to comment
+dharma cache Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Not only very slow, but lost all the smiley's too. Link to comment
+ftjak Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Its down for me. Forums working fine. Not down for me but is taking 100x's longer to look for caches or post a log. Why don't they leave it alone or fix it? Link to comment
+SwanLake4 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I've had problems accessing the site almost every Sunday... it's frustrating to wake up to beautiful sunny weather and then not be able to cache because the site is so slow that it's unusable. I'm considering not renewing my premium membership until it's fixed or a reasonable explanation is given. Link to comment
+kenttela Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Someone has to be working on it because the problems change. I've now lost my found icons like last night. Things were slow but for a short period of time I did have all my finds displayed. Take a deep breath. Link to comment
knowschad Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Well, today is not Sunday, and its even slower than it was yesterday. Link to comment
jholly Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Well, today is not Sunday, and its even slower than it was yesterday. If I were to speculate ... DoS Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 As I mentioned in another thread, I'm sure that whatever the problem is, they are working to fix it; but it WOULD be nice if a representative of GS would come on here and let us know what's going on, pwetty pwease. Link to comment
+John in Valley Forge Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I guess we can blame the beautiful caching weather. Its spring time! say what? this was the weather today for us Yuck! I've had my fill of snow. I prefered my beach weekend. Link to comment
+Elz Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Oh dear - the site is either hanging up taking soooo long, or I get a message saying servers busy - any idea what is going on? I was trying to post logs, then it would not even go into the home page and now its very very slow. Link to comment
+LukeTrocity Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Found the first perk of the android app, since it uses the api its still giving me quick cache info. Finally! Link to comment
+Elz Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Fantastic - it's back :D Had been driving me mad for the past couple of hours as I want to log my 300th find Link to comment
+Tizzie Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Its been OK, then slow, then OK, then extremely slow for the over 2 hours now. I've had various error messages including "sever down", "server not responding", and the usual browser "page cannot be displayed" message. It has taken me 2 hours and 10 minutes to log 12 finds and 2 DNFs. Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 All the extra interest in the new Challenges is bogging-down the servers! Just what they wanted to see, everything is working according to plan. Link to comment
+Team Van Dyk Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Down again...or, at least, extremely bogged down (has been all morning). Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'll concur about it being really slowly this morning. Link to comment
the3gmen Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) All the extra interest in the new Challenges is bogging-down the servers! Just what they wanted to see, everything is working according to plan. what a good idea it was to add another feature that would (hopefully) bring more people to the site, but not upgrade the servers to handle the traffic.

+Ike 13 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It hasn't been this bad since the spring. I know it's probably due to International Geocaching day, plus challenges. I just want to log my 6 caches!!! Link to comment

Used to be a premium member, but the performance of this site keeps my measly $30 in my pocket for now. ADOPTIONS still not working..............c'mon GS you charge for these codes....can we please have the use of them as promised in the sale? Link to comment
