+Chewy_06 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Usually a PQ not running for hours wouldnt be a big deal for me, but, i'm leaving soon... Created a route & a PQ - neither ran after an hour. Deleted all my old ones & re-ran the two, still nothing. Curious, i ran my finds - which ran almost immediately. Grr! Quote Link to comment

+Mark Cornell Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) I'm also having problems running pocket queries. I'm trying to run a PQ from one of my bookmark lists and I've been waiting nearly 2 hours. There's only about 37 or so caches in it and I've not ever had to wait much longer than 10 mins for one to come through before. I'm in the UK. Just tried running a My Finds PQ and it ran with no problems, the other is sat there not doing anything. Edited July 29, 2012 by Mark Cornell Quote Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 No PQs are being run for me either. Usually they run almost instantly when creating/copying a new PQ. I am only 150 miles from GS HQ (not that that really matters, but much closer than the Europeans Quote Link to comment
+ShaunEM Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Same problem here today. Good thing I am not needing this for over a week. I will leave it as is, see what happens. Shaun Quote Link to comment
+Balaraka Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yes, same here. My daily PQ for found caches not running, ran a My Finds PQ and that's not coming through either. Quote Link to comment
+ZombieDragonfly Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) Well as PQs run on Groundspeak servers, it doesn't really matter how close or far away you are. The problem is likely that their servers are severely overloaded (for some reason) or PQ-down Wouldn't it be nice if Groundspeak had some sort of status page we could go to so we'd not be in the dark and could at least plan a little better? Not a huge thing, but it would be nice. Oh, same problem here. Two PQs... both in the queue for over an hour now. I don't recall ever having to wait more than 10 minutes before. In the life-scheme of things not a huge deal, but then again... I want to go geocache! Edited July 29, 2012 by ZombieDragonfly Quote Link to comment
+Muddy_Puddles Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Same here but also not getting any emails at all from GC.com today. No watchlist updates, pq's & no copy emails for 2 that I sent to cache owners Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Wouldn't it be nice if Groundspeak had some sort of status page we could go to so we'd not be in the dark and could at least plan a little better? Not a huge thing, but it would be nice. They actually have one of these: Geocaching System Status. Unfortunately, it isn't automated. Someone at Groundspeak has to go in and manually update that page. Therefore, it's basically useless. Quote Link to comment
+ZombieDragonfly Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well the Good News is that, after going out for dinner (I'm on a business trip) with my wife, and after nabbing a couple of caches (we just happened to have loaded this morning before the PQ engine went south), it looks like the PQs are up and running again as both of my queued PQs have run! Woo Hoo! Quote Link to comment
+Mark Cornell Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yay! Went to bed and now I've just woken up ready for a day's caching and they've finally run. Cool beans. Quote Link to comment
+Chaotica_UK Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Is there an update on this please? Can anybody tell me roughly how long is it taking to get a PQ through? Thanks very much Mark Quote Link to comment
+W8TTS Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Got my PQ's yesterday, but the email notifications were VERY delayed. But, this morning no PQ's at all. Quote Link to comment
+W8TTS Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Got my PQ's yesterday, but the email notifications were VERY delayed. But, this morning no PQ's at all. Well, I guess my PQ's did run. I just looked at the API and they're listed there. But, NOT listed on the Pocket Queries Ready for Downloading web page, and no notification either. Quote Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 None for me yet. Yesterday some (if not all) came more than 5 hours "late". This morning, a weekly PQ that last ran 07/23/2012 00:56:26 (PT) has not yet run. W8TTS - What time does the API show yours ran? I don't see new PQs through the API either. Quote Link to comment

It's not clear that the actual running of PQs should be affected. The "problem" has been ongoing for close to a full day now. Quote Link to comment
+W8TTS Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) W8TTS - What time does the API show yours ran? I don't see new PQs through the API either. Actually now that I look at it closer, today's haven't run. I was seeing yesterdays, which I had downloaded yesterday, still marked as not downloaded. I think the frog swallowed a moth ball.

+speakers-corner Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just checked my PQ's and they havent run yet. Not to worry its holiday time, and the frog is on vacation, or not !? Quote Link to comment
+Chaotica_UK Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Mine is still not showing as run, some 6 hours later. Groundspeak - can we actually have a meaningful update on this please every link seems to show the same update as 9am (UK time) this morning when I last checked. Thanks very much Mark Quote Link to comment

PQs were temporarily shut off to allow the mail server to catch up with teh backlog created by a hardware failure. Quote Link to comment
+Chaotica_UK Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the update was far too late (not your fault I'm sure). My PQ arrived at 9.42pm. Mad as I am, I was not about to start a day out caching at that time, so I have saved it for another day. Quote Link to comment
