+digdug123 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi, I've finally bitten the bullet and become a Premium member. Now I'm starting to wish I hadn't. Firstly everything seems to have slowed down, it's taking around 30 seconds for each page to load. Secondly, I like to search out new caches using the 'Search using Google maps' feature, when I use it now none of the caches that I have previously found are marked with the smilie icon, they just appear the same as unfound ones. I have tried ticking and unticking all the boxes on the right as well as logging out and back in again. Is there something obvious that I am missing ? Thank you for reading. Quote Link to comment
+GeoGeeBee Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It appears, from the other messages in the forum, that you just happened to pick a bad day to activate your premium membership. Everyone seems to be having issues with the maps, and the site has been slow since yesterday. Don't worry, it gets better. Quote Link to comment
+muleandpooh Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I noticed this yesterday - I wonder if anyone else is having this problem - this is how we cache using this feature - plus we like all the smiley faces on the map. Quote Link to comment
+kenttela Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Last night I had the problem. This morning it was fine. Now this afternoon the maps work, but the slowness has returned. I think it is just a traffic jam on the information highway. I have to add, what do you want for the price you pay? Seems like a very good deal to me. Quote Link to comment
+ftjak Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I noticed this yesterday - I wonder if anyone else is having this problem - this is how we cache using this feature - plus we like all the smiley faces on the map. Yes I am having the same problem with the smiley faces. Seems as if they have some big issues that they obviously can't resolve. Quote Link to comment

+Team GPSaxophone Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Don't worry, it gets better. And it will get worse again. Quote Link to comment
+Drunkin Monkeys Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I can't even get past the login page, haven't been able to login since yesterday.... it was going fine and all of a sudden the pages quit responding. Quote Link to comment
sabrefan7 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Dont forget that you can check a box to personalize the maps. Sometimes the beta maps will reset and you have to personalize them again. Plus its Tuesday Quote Link to comment
+Ry Dawg Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's been that way for a few days. It came up for me a bit today and then stopped. Maybe we just have to catch it at the right time... Quote Link to comment

+digdug123 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Seems I just chose to become a Premium member on the wrong day. Everything is working fine now and I'm looking forward to using the new features available to me. Thank you all for your comments. Quote Link to comment
