where are the geochecker links ?

[+bernie38]

This morning i tried to resolve a mystery. So i wanted tu check my solution with geochecker. But there was no link on the cache page for that ! Nevertheless the former finders said, in their logs, that they turned the checker to green... So i looked at one of my own mysteries, and... no more link for the geochecker !

 

I tried with Firefox 21.0 and I.E. 1.0, for the same result.

 

Any idea ?

This is not a bug with Geocaching.com. Geocheckers are third-party sites and tools. I'm moving this thread to the general forum.

It would appear that the geocheck.org website is struggling. The front index page is available, but the link banners and the checking pages just timeout.

 

I think we have to be patient until somebody over at geocheck fixes it.

Ok, thanks Redgremlin (is it THE Redgremlin near Grenoble ? )

 

Howerver, i'm surprised that we can't even see the link to the geochecker, linking to a 404 page...

I thought it was a problem on GC.com but it seems it's not. So we have to be patient for a while

The problem is that the link on many of the pages is made with a dynamically generated image. If that doesn't appear because of a server issue - then nothing appears on the page.

 

To avoid this type of problem (so that a link does appear on the page), it would seem to be best practice to provide a text link as well as the graphical link.

 

There is a FaceBook page for geocheck.org - there are a couple of people reporting issues there.
