Emails from Geocaching.com

[+Al 7365]

Hi All,

 

As of this afternoon I am no longer receiving any emails from GC.com, this includes all normal emails such as logs on my caches, watch list and people contacting me through GC.com. All of these are failing to arrive at my email address despite me defiantly knowing of new logs on my caches and even posting a test note to check.

 

I am receiving other emails to my account so I am pretty sure the problem is not with my email account, I have tried to switch my GC email address to a different account but the validation email is failing to arrive at that too, so I am unable to switch resulting to no GC emails reaching me.

 

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? and is the correct way to inform Groundspeak still to email contact@geocaching.com ?

 

Cheers

 

Alex

Last night a bunch of emails regarding PQ completion were delayed for me, some by up to a few hours. One of the PQ servers was very slow in processing PQs as well.

Apparently one of the PQ servers is still running slow, the one that I have been waiting on 4 PSs for the last 5 1/2 hours.

yeah, I know a few caches were logged in the last 12 hours that I am on the watchlist on, but never got that email from those.

I've seen a few other cachers mention this problem today. Also, someone's reported it below:

I sent an email to another member, saw the confirmation screen, but never received the CC email even though I'd checked the option. I wondered about that.

Yesterday my PQ was late and today I haven't got any PQ at all. I am wondering about some server(s) problems going on.

When were the hamsters last fed??? I bet thats the problem.

In addition I trod to get caches with GSAP API and it continually fails although the PQ came through quickly.

I'm not getting forum notifications either. Last one was at 6:30 AM, PDT. I have only had a few cache notifications trickle in. The last one was sent at 1:49 PM and received at 8:05 PM, the next one was sent an hour earlier and received 20 minutes later. I am using Gmail. I just sent a message to it from my Roadrunner account. It arrived within seconds so it is not a problem with my email account.

Yep same problem here. I had a cache published today and found and I was still waiting for the notification that is was published? We did get one that one was not published. Weird.

status.geocaching.com seems to confirm it.

Oh dear. This service is moving slow. We know. We're on it. Your friendly Geocaching.com engineers are moving fast to get you back up to full geocaching speed.

I think the squirrels running things got tired. Time to throw in a couple more and give then a packet of nuts.

Thanks, It seems to be catching up, but I notice that some of these are over 48 hours late.

 

We'll see how long it takes for someone to find my new cache, since no one really knows about it.
