No smileys on the map

Recommended Posts

The addition of many new major features plus the record traffic levels we're experiencing has caused some serious performance issues for the site. Some features like the personalization (smileys) of the maps have been disabled temporarily just to allow the site to function. Fixing these and other performance issues is a top priority. We apologize again for the inconvenience, but can assure you that your information is intact.

 

In the meantime, you can access the beta map (http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta) and still have personalization by clicking on the arrow at the left and checking 'enable personalization' (smileys). (However, keep in mind that display of PMO caches has not yet been implemented on the beta map.)

 

Should this occur in future be assured that we will rectify it quickly.

 

Thanks for your patience while we work through these growing pains.

 

Happy caching!

Even on the beta map there is a problem--the personalization goes away after a few minutes. Let's hope tomorrow's upgrade helps. I've been rather patient about this, but am started to get a wee bit irked.

 

Whoa! Just noticed the update is NEXT WEEK! So, another week of agony for all of us.

Yes, I've noticed. I've also noticed the beta map as the current default. I've tried the beta map and have looked forward to when it's no longer "beta." But it still is. It's nice that I can show my smilies somewhere but I've also noticed that not all caches show up on the beta map. If I want to be sure I'm seeing them all, I have to use the original maps, where the smilies are unavailable. Also, I've had more problems than not getting cache info to show using the beta maps. Usually when I click a cache in the beta map, nothing happens. So, what I see is that one version isn't quite fixed and the other version is kind of broken.

 

I appreciate the site traffic issue but I've tried several times to find information and this thread is the closest I've come. This will be the fourth or fifth post on this topic here. I have to believe that there is more detailed information about what's going on here somewhere. No?
