[+BruceS 4]

In contact with Groundspeak and problem is being investigated to resolve issue.

[dreamhummie 5]

Nope. Maybe in the U.S.

 

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com says here in The Netherlands.

 

"It's not just you! http://www.Waymarking.com looks down from here."

[+BruceS 4]

They are still working on issue... sporadically it is good but issue not resolved.

[dreamhummie 5]

Yes sporadically it is good for a few minutes and then its gone or very very very slow.

Ctrl Alt Delete maybe ?

[dreamhummie 5]

Waymarking.com is still not working in Ottawa, Canada.

[+The A-Team 1799]

As of 2:49 pm PDT, I can both access the website and log in from Western Canada.

[+Tante.Hossi 9]

Now it works fine again (including the well known features, bugs and errors).

Thanks for fixing!

Yep, same here just now. The site is overall only slightly slower than normal for me, but images (especially icons) are loading significantly more slowly. Statistics gets me a 500 server error.

Are you new here? Groundspeak pretty much abandoned this site years ago.

[+lumbricus 52]

I'm pretty sure Groundspeak will fix it, give them some days. Take your cameras and visit cities with 0 Waymarks, that's fun. We did that on weekend, two cities each with over 10,000 people and 0 Waymarks, so much to discover and if the site runs normal again, keep them coming.

[+MountainWoods 25]

Cities? Give me the countryside any old day!

[+Tuena 9]

On a cold, wet Winter's morning what better to do than add a few Waymarks (hold it, two naval helicopters approaching below the clouds so have to have a look) but wait Waymarking is down. Get this message HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

 

Oh well perhaps the helicopters will come back & do another fly by.

Very slow at the moment. To the point of not being usable.

[dreamhummie 5]

Maybe its because Waymarking.com use cloudfront.net It is a redirect to Amazon CloudFront.

Amazon CloudFront is a web service for content delivery.

 

Google cloudfront.net slow and see for yourself.

cloudfront.net has often problems with there speed.

Still very slow and almost not usable. However, I'm glad to see it's not my computer but the website.

[+lumbricus 52]

Still very slow and problems with category icons started today, it seems that all icons we created new, or we modified are broken...

It's very hard to review Waymarks if I have to wait up to 50 sec. after pressing the publish button.

[+ToRo61 1]

I have same trouble with category icons as you.

Similar trouble with icons in profile -> waymark lists.

Edited June 25, 2015 by ToRo61

[+ToRo61 1]

I tried again visibility icons on page profile -> waymark lists...

 

for example

URL of icon for Payphones category is http://www.Waymarking.com/images/cat_icons/phone2.gif ... I see this icon - that's OK

 

URL of icon for Baroque Architecture is http://www.Waymarking.com/images/cat_icons/baroque.gif ... but the server return only message '404 - File Not Found - We're sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found' - no comment

[+Tante.Hossi 9]

To the missing icons problem - It's just a guess ...

It looks like they have had a server crash and they restored the site from a backup.

But they didn't have a backup of the icons we have created or modifyed the last months.

Maybe we should send in the new icons again.

 

I really hope they make better backups of the database! Otherwise our work could be lost for ever if the database server will crash one day.

[+ToRo61 1]

the missing icons problem it's realy serious

my Grid Count for Posted+Visited is 744 of 1083

during HTML request for this page I counted 168 "404 Not Found" HTML return code => i.e. 168 missing icons/files on server :o

 

so, I'm not surprised for such miserable response time of Waymarking.com

[+BruceS 4]

Looks like the icon problem has been resolved.

[+lumbricus 52]

I informed bootron yesterday, he said he will fix the icon problem and will try to fix the "slow problem" too. Thanks bootron!

[+Tante.Hossi 9]

Actually everything works fine! Fast as before. All icons are visible.

 

Thanks for fixing!!

[+lumbricus 52]

Superfast right now, yipi!

[+QuesterMark 2]

Down again:

 

Service Unavailable

 

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

[+QuesterMark 2]

And it's back.

[dreamhummie 5]

And again:

 

Service Unavailable

 

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

[dreamhummie 5]

And it's back.

[+Benchmark Blasterz 65]

VEEEERRRRRYYYYYY VEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYY SLOOOOOOOOWWWWW for me - to the point of not being useable

 

Icons will not load on my profile page,so I cannot see what new categories are added without LOOONNGGGGG waits

 

Now I am getting 503 errors

Edited June 28, 2015 by Benchmark Blasterz

[+RakeInTheCache 18]

Getting ...

 

Service Unavailable

 

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

 

And it's Sunday. Will anyone react? Does Groundspeak have monitering alerts on their servers?

Edited June 28, 2015 by RakeInTheCache

[dreamhummie 5]

Looks like Waymarking is not important for Groundspeak anymore.

Tomorrow it's 2 weeks with only troubles on Waymarking.com

Edited June 28, 2015 by dreamhummie

[+Lat34North 0]

Ok -- down again:

 

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

 

I am playing with my stats trying to get a minimum of 11 post for each day of the month. Can't reach my goal if I can't post any waymarks today.

Thx for your reply.

 

Maybe they can finally solve all the problems on Waymarking.com: like SPEED, N/EAST BUG etc. etc. and when it's solved PM all Dutch Waymarkers to come back on Waymarking.
