+booboo_1 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Wondering if anyone else is having the same issue: When I go on my profile and click on one of the caches that I've found, the cache page will not load. At that point, the entire website will not load. This has been an issue all day and is happening using Chrome and IE. I've cleared my cache and still the same problem. I'm having the issue with my work computer, home computer and phone. I've asked a few people and no one else is having the same issue. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I've been seeing this occur lately with specific caches. Which one have you been trying to visit when you run into this problem? Quote Link to comment
+booboo_1 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I've tried quite a few of the multi's and not one of them will load, a specific multi would be GC3036N. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 You need to make sure that you delete cookies related to Geocaching.com from your browser (specifically the ASP.net_SessionId cookie). The issue I've been seeing causes any cache to fail to load in your browser once you have hit one of those problem caches. Quote Link to comment
+booboo_1 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I've deleted all cookies, cleared history, etc. Still a problem with that particular cache but others are loading fine. Wouldn't you know, out of 40,000 caches to look at, I had to pick the one that would cause problems! LOL!! That'll teach me to work on a lonely challenge! Thanks for your help!! Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 For what it's worth, that one is causing the same problems for me. I have been pinging the devs about these lately but it looks like I'll need to rattle their cages a little bit more loudly. Thanks for reporting this example! Quote Link to comment
+Pontiac_CZ Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 That one is really weird, my FF is stuck with "Connecting...". Can't even load the profile page now. Interesting bug. Quote Link to comment
+booboo_1 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Here's another one: GC303ZP. You can get on the cache page but if you try to log it, it hangs up. Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Here's another one: GC303ZP. You can get on the cache page but if you try to log it, it hangs up. I suspect it's more of a system wide issue. I'm having trouble opening quite a few pages at this time. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 There's definitely something going on that has led to a number of listings with broken image links in them. These are what cause most of these page hang-ups. I was able to fix this last one by removing one such link. Quote Link to comment
+lodgebarn Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Probably related to all the extra work for Markdown changes. Bit sad this hasn't been fixed yet since seems a high priority fault to me. Quote Link to comment
+Selva Girls Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I am logged on to geocaching.com and can click on all links, but I cant open cache pages, either from a link or the map.The connection times out. This happens in both Firefox and IE. I am using Windows8. I have cleared cookies and internet history, run a deep virus scan, uninstalled and reinstalled browsers. Nothing has worked. I posted this message in a geocaching facebook group and there are others also having this issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+booboo_1 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 I've been having the same issue all night using Chrome. When I switch over to IE, the site seems to be working fine. I've been noticing a lot of loading problems with Chrome. A shame because I'm not an IE fan. Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It is not something specific to your browser, rather it leads to corruption of the cookie you have stored in whatever browser you are using. Clear your cookies and relog in and then you should be fine. If it happens again, make note of the last cache page you visited and then report it here. It is likely that the cache page contains some broken HTML that is causing this issue. Quote Link to comment
+Selva Girls Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) It is not something specific to your browser, rather it leads to corruption of the cookie you have stored in whatever browser you are using. Clear your cookies and relog in and then you should be fine. If it happens again, make note of the last cache page you visited and then report it here. It is likely that the cache page contains some broken HTML that is causing this issue. I cleared cookies and browsing history when it happened yesterday. It made no difference. Issue is now getting worse. I can no longer connect to geocaching.com at all. I have again cleared cookies and nothing has changed. I cannot access geocaching.com All other websites are working fine.
