+jeepdelfuego Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 This post may have to be moved. But, I can't log-in to the Geocaching.com website. I obviously don't have any issues with the forums boards. I tried to get in with Firefox and IE with no luck. Everything was fine for me before the update. Anybody else having this issue? Link to comment
+t4e Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) no issues whatsoever here, what error message you're getting? what page you're trying to log on from? have you tried to click on your name from here in the forums, on the top right box? Edited May 5, 2011 by t4e 1 Link to comment

When I try to log-in from geocaching.com nothing happens and I get no errors. But, from https://www.geocaching.com/login/default.aspx?RESETCOMPLETE=Y&redir=http%3a%2f%2fwww.geocaching.com%2faccount%2fdefault.aspx I am able to login. Link to comment
+jademaria Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I can't log into the site either but this worked. Is saying to validate my account with some code. We have been members for more than a year so what is going on here. Link to comment

+curious4cache Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 So glad to find someone else that can NOT log into geocaching at all ! VERY FRUSTRATING Using inspiron 1545 laptop, Win 7 home prem & IE8 problem started 5/7/11 I DID login and pull a PQ 5/6 now I can't get past this loop of "sign in" >> "welcome visitor" Have cleared all history, forms, cookies, restarted computer --didn't help Have tried the 64 bit IE --nope tried resetting pswd --nope "your pswd has been updated, click here to log in" then "you are logged in as curious4cache" when I click visit your account page I get the Log into Geocaching page w/ username and password fields CAN log into my bank, Waymarking, Wherigo, GC forums CAN log into GC.com using the other home computer (also wireless) CAN log into GC.com using my work computer in the back office (not wireless) but prefer not to (work is for work). Why the fuss? I like to put together PQ's / routes etc on laptop while the Mr get's familiar with the caches on the home computer Premium members should be able to log in on any computer they wish, yes? Suggestions very much welcome!! Link to comment

I do not get an error message, just can't log in http://www.geocaching.com/ Welcome, Visitor! Sign In or Register (It's Free!) After entering username and password in the drop down menu, GC.com page shows me the same Welcome, Visitor! screen Have tried to get in many ways... Sometimes GC.com says I'm logged in, but when I try to continue, it presents the login screen again. For instance when I click on my username from forums here, I get Sorry. You must first log in to view this profile. thanks for the interest! Link to comment

I tried https://www.geocaching.com/login/default.aspx?RESETCOMPLETE=Y&redir=http%3a%2f%2fwww.geocaching.com%2faccount%2fdefault.aspx does NOT work for me Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 snip I like to put together PQ's / routes etc on laptop while the Mr get's familiar with the caches on the home computer Premium members should be able to log in on any computer they wish, yes? Suggestions very much welcome!! Sometimes, two computers logging in under the same account/same time can cause this problem. Have seen it before. Dunno why. Why not have Mr. sign off -- or do the actual WORK? It is Mom's Day, after-all! Link to comment

LOL Signing onto GC.com with both computers at the same time has never caused trouble before, but I figured that could be the issue here. Before posting the problem to forums, we did try having the Mr log off, --no success but thanks! ... and I'll go have some fun now Link to comment
+curious4cache Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 WHAT FINALLY WORKED FOR ME: thanks to DCMG, who had the same problem: ...would properly type in user name and password, but would be redirected back to the login page (if there), or the main page with the box at the top would continue to show as a visitor. They discovered they had added GC.com to their list of trusted websites in IE. Once removed from the list of trusted sites, they were able to log in and stay logged in. "Seems like something in the "Trusted sites" zone of the security tab in IE tools->Internet options was preventing the logging in from sticking." Thanks to all for your suggestions!! Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I had the slowest of slow connections this morning on my netbook. Finally logged into GC.com, but could not make it to the forums. Could the site have just been busy? Probably the semi-decent weather had a lot of Moms and their families going caching before lunch! Happy Mothers' Day to all you Moms out there! Link to comment
+J.A.B.E.R. Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I was having the same problem with the signing in. After reading all the posts I went looking through the trusted sites and noticed GC.com after removing it I now seem to be able to sign in. Not sure how it even got into my trusted sites. Thank you to who mentioned this,I was getting frustrated with it all. Link to comment
+JCCT28 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Not only can I not log into the website, but I can't access cache info from either the c;geo or Groundspeak app from my Driod. I keep getting notified as my hidden caches are being found, but have zero luck gaining access myself. Link to comment
+Woodduckdawg Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Been really, really slow logging on. Glad to know it is not just me. Link to comment
+popokiiti Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 This morning I couldn't get to the home page - tried from my bookmark, from Google and all that happened was that little wheel thing went round and round and round and round and round and round and round and got me nowhere. I just figured the site was busy (extra busy with the challenge flag downs???) as it is a nice day. Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 There is a new thread discussing this in the general forum. Thankfully things are back to normal at the moment. Closing this duplicate topic. Link to comment
