+_gc_ Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hi, whenever I read that the site is going down for maintenance, I have a bad feeling. This time it got topped. Beside the site is not reachable for times, what is the update benefit? I see challenges, YEAH...what is this, i will check later. I see icons next to the logs...YEAH...when I look online from my mobile, it cost me extra for this pictures... But most impressive feature is that the improvements stop the site from working. It took me 3 times for a log and I need to type 2 times the message to a fellow cacher. May I ask to make improvements that is good for the community instead get dead of your own created traffic? Just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment

Just my 2 cents 100% Agree....Maybe it's time for a step back and go to good ole: Find 'em, log 'em, drop 'em. Who needs the frills of all the icons, pictures and "special features" if it means not being able to use the site. Hey GS, nice looking stuff....just wish it worked as well as it looks. Reminds me of the MGB car.....looked great, ran like a turd. Quote Link to comment
+JL_HSTRE Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I would guess today's repeated downtime had nothing to do with Challenges and everything to do with yesterday being "International Geocaching Day" so the site was being burdened by LOTS of people logging Finds. Quote Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Last year on 10/10/10 the site was basically unusable for me. I would guess people are logging the events and caches from yesterday today. Quote Link to comment
+42at42 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I cannot log anything from Chrome, I can't sign-in from explorer. Seems to work well with Firefox. Change for the sake of change is not good. Quote Link to comment

I've been without Internet since last Wednesday so you can guess my surprise and what the heck is a challenge. Too many pretty things that don't make much sense to me. But change happens, just please slow it down for a while. Going back to get the Readers Digest version of a challenge for now. Quote Link to comment
