+DanOCan Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I haven't been able to get in at all today. My PQs ran fine, my instant notifications are working, I seem to have been able to update GSAK with the API, I just can't get into the web portion of things. Captain, we need more hamsters!

+Crow-T-Robot Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It seems to be getting back to normal. I've been able to get in and click around for the past few minutes. Link to comment
+Crow-T-Robot Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 You know, I knew that as soon as I said it was working for me that it would take a dump again....sure enough. Back to the waiting game Link to comment

+Morave Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Gee, paperless geocaching must be fun with this quality of service... I tried to get some additional cache info this afternoon using my cellphone and nearly went berserk. Luckily I was able to finish the cache without it in the end, but you wouldn't want to be anywhere near at that moment. Link to comment

Wow, how the heck did you manage to have fun considering the introduction of challenges and the slow website? I don't get it. You're supposed to be going apoplectic in the forums. Link to comment

+fluoro Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sorry guys, my bad - I took down the server logging all my challenges. I'm done now. Nice. Link to comment
+OMUK Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Horribly, horribly slow in the UK (i.e. stopped!) Link to comment
+GeoBain Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It's practically come to a stand still for me. Link to comment
+michaelnel Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It's been slow since the latest "upgrade" to the site, but today it is simply DOWN for most of the morning for me. Link to comment
+Ziggy Crew Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I get a white page with "Service Not Available" in the upper left corner. Nothing else! Link to comment
+Mr Kaswa Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Everybody has a default avatar now.. did they have had to turn off their shiny new feature in an attempt to reduce server load? Link to comment
GOF and Bacall Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well, at least they have found a way to prevent people from creating lame challenges. Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Seemed to be back for awhile. Managed to get three logs in. I noticed the default avatars and assumed that was part of the fix. Of course, I just finished typing a fairly involved log and when I submitted it the site timed out. Hopefully I can use the "back" button in the browser and it will still be there -- very annoyed right now that it might be lost -- too annoyed to bother typing it in again if it is lost.

+The Quietly Crew Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It's been out for most of the day for me with just a few seconds of functionality every now and then, but mostly nothing; thankfully I downloaded almost all of the cache details to the phone early yesteday before setting off. The phone has been able to access the server only twice all day today so I managed to upload 4 of the 7 finds, but I've now been trying for over an hour to send up the last three with no success at all. Hope they get this fixed soon; it doesn't look like anyone has been working on this over the weekend -- the server is just slugged to death. Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 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. Musat be time to move those challenges over to whymarking, where they belong! Link to comment
+SwineFlew Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Wow... its still down? I can use the API but cant get on it via website. Link to comment
+LuckyPlan Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sometimes I can wait several minutes and it will load one page. But many times, the server is just timing out. Only the forums work. This is ridiculous. We're paying and they can't even keep it running on the weekends. I wish GS would give us some feedback on when we can use the site again . Link to comment

Keystone Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I am closing this bumped thread from April, in favor of the several threads on site performance that have been started just this weekend. Link to comment
