+Degai Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I don't know what has happened, but I can no longer click on a cache to get the short description of it when I go to the larger view of the maps. When I click on the cache, it just zooms in more-it doesn't give me any information. I have also had some difficulty when I click on hide and seek a cache and put in an address. These addresses have been around since the 70's, and yet, it will return with-cannot find this address. I have used the addresses for years and never had a problem until very recently. Is there some setting that I am missing? Is there anyone out there having any problems, besides me? Any suggestions? I have been caching since July 2006 and have never had this problem until now. HELP! Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The map works fine for me. The find by address, not so much. I guess it fell victim to the search improvements that were incorporated a while back. It didn't find two known addresses, and on the third attempt, it put me in a city 200 miles away from the one I entered. SMH Quote Link to comment

+snow_rules Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have the same issue occasionally. Just zooming in a little more and usually that fixes the issue for me. Quote Link to comment

I am not very technically savvy, could you explain what "clearing your browser cache" means and how to do it? I would really appreciate it and hope this would help my problem. Quote Link to comment

LOL-I do, especially when I am trying to locate caches near a certain place. I need all the help I can get these days! Thanks for the tip, though. I will give it a try. Quote Link to comment
+Degai Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi Snow Rules-I just tried zooming in all the way and then clicking on a cache, but no joy. I'm still having the same issue. DRATS! Quote Link to comment

I can't say how all the different browsers work it, but in IE 8 go to Tools=>Internet Options, on the General tab under Browsing History is delete button. There you can delete various related items. The Temporary Internet Files is the one you want. Quote Link to comment

The Temporary Internet Files is the one you want. I was able to clear out my browser and it sort of worked. I was able to click on the caches on some of them, but at other times, it was the same problem-just zooming in on the map. Thank you so much for your help! Quote Link to comment
