+noncentric Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Something seems to be going on with the geocaching.com website. A while ago it bumped me out when I looked at a specific cache and wasn't letting me log back in. I waited about 10 minutes and went to look at the same cache, then it was working again. I didn't even have to log back in. Now, the search function isn't working. When I go to enter a location in the main search window, the location doesn't auto-fill the way it usually does. When I go to a bookmarked search, then I get a 500 Server Error. Quote Link to comment

+speakers-corner Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Geocaching search is not working. The map doesnt respond when I enter a town or city name!! Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Geocaching search is not working. The map doesnt respond when I enter a town or city name!! You are likely seeing the issue on the map where search does not work if you are using http:// protocol (as opposed to https://). This has been fixed and the fix will go live at out next site update.

+Calypso62 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) When is the next site update due? I am still unable to search via the map when I enter a suburb, town or city location. Edit: OK, I worked out my problem. I had the old link bookmarked in my Favourites. I've now replaced it with the new link and all is working as it should be!

You are likely seeing the issue on the map where search does not work if you are using http:// protocol (as opposed to https://). This has been fixed and the fix will go live at out next site update. That solution works like a charm, thanks Moun10Bike. However, people don't stumble upon the http page. You should fix the broken links, e.g. : - in a cache description, the links to the maps in the "For online maps..." section are all http - the little map icon in the profile page (my/default.aspx) in the "Search Options > Search for geocaches" section redircts to the http map (wheras the two links next to it are correct) - there may be more, I don't know. I had the old map in my favorites, and probably am not the only one in that case. For those who won't dig into the forum to find this answer, a simple rewrite rule would do the math, no ?
