500 Server Error

[+The Brat Pack]

I tried to log onto Groundspeak this morning to log some finds using Google Chrome as per usual but got a 500 Server error. Switching to Internet Explorer allowed me access to the site and I was able to log my first find but then I got the same issue with Internet Exporer. Firefox is not good either. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?

 

I have tried rebooting the wireless network too.

Back working now - not sure for how long though. Finger's crossed but it makes typing difficult!

Logged all my finds from this morning but the sight is dead now - not even a 500 Server error! Are others experiencing problems?

Yes happening to me too. Can't get on at all. I made it to front page but wouldn't navigate from there. Happening once or twice last night but then started workig again. Came on here to see if anyone else was having the problem. Nice to know its not just me.

6:45 Am Eastern - Geocaching.com is down

 

I did check with downformeoreveryone

 

lots of errors in the last half hour or so when the site was up, but slow - couldn't access geocaching.com/my/ for instance, and cache pages were loading as the WAP site, though I wasn't using that URL.

Better rehire all those hamsters they made redundant.

Yesterday I also had this problem, in my case it was due to the settings of the firewall in Mcafee. When restoring to factory settings, the problem was solved

Fine in firefox but scrrwed up in chrome. Ok on mobile browser on phone.

Back working now but SLOW!!

There does seem to be a problem, not sure what but Groundspeak are aware. So hang in there, you'll get to list all those new caches and log all your morning finds soon
