+PazaUK Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 I've removed several FPs from old archived caches but they have not yet been given back to me. Should they reappear instantly or is there some sort of delay? Quote
Moun10Bike Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 There are some issues with the controls surrounding Favorite Points following our site deployment yesterday. I have notified the engineers. Quote
+teamAlje Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 There are some issues with the controls surrounding Favorite Points following our site deployment yesterday. I have notified the engineers. I have got a 404 from https://www.geocaching.com/datastore/favorites.svc/score?u=.... 404 (Not Found) after adding a FP from the cache page to a logged cache. On the website you see the point added but after F5 the added point is gone. Quote
+LexA Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I've been trying to give a favourite point to a cache ( http://coord.info/GC5CTR8 ) for a couple of days now, with no success. Every time I try, it looks like it goes OK, but when I return to my own profile I see I still have the point to assign, and when I go back to the cache page it's back to it's old FP-score. Quote
+TWO HATS Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Got the same problem here... a couple of Geo mates also report the FAV option is not working.... ????????? Quote
+spooko13 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 For what it's worth, I'm having the same problem. Fav point appears when I give it but it's gone if I refresh the page or leave it and go back to it. I tried giving the fav pt then tried removing it. Even though the point showed as being there, removing it didn't work as if the point wasn't there at all. Quote
+CaBa2000 Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Same to me... shows the given favo first but after a reload it is 'gone'... Or after checking another cache-site... Checked it with different Browsers: IE11, FF 46 (both Win7) and Chrome on Android. Edited May 7, 2016 by CaBa2000 Quote
+heartradio Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Please sort it out or I'll run out! And I've got about 10 to give today! (EDIT: But I can't give them out anyway, so it's a favourite point stalemate! ) Edited May 7, 2016 by heartradio Quote
+barefootjeff Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 The same thing happened about a year ago (http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=333167). Is this a perennial bug? Quote
+Fritz28 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 ]I have also been trying to give favorite points to a number of caches. Each time, it appears to add it, but later does not appear on my list of favorites. I am new to this and thought it might be that I just didn't do something right. Is is safe to assume it is a program problem, not a user problem? Quote

+Bobkatz+Wife Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 I'm also having the same problem! Hope it gets corrected. I mentioned in a log after finding a nice cache that it's getting a favorite, then receive a mess from owner "Where is it???" Quote
+aries44duo Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Can you give an idea on when the "Favourite Point" website issue might be resolved? Cheers. Quote
+GuentherGal Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Same problem here. And I thought I was so special! Quote
+Leifa Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Same problem here. Any update on when this will be fixed? Quote
+PlasmaWave Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Monday 9th May and same issue still there ... you add a Fav Point and it appears to have been awarded but when cache page is refreshed the point has disappeared. Clearly a geocaching.com programming/database problem, but will this fault affect exiting Fav points caches had accumulated? Quote
+Kudamatsu Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Many have this problem. I lost about 10 Favos from different Cachers, who rewarded a favo for my caches. I also zried to reward a favos, and it didn't work. Really bad bug. Greetings Kudamatsu Quote
+Jenni@Alan Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I have the same problem. Yesterday I made a route and I would like to leave some favorites, but I can't. Regards, Quote
+on4bam Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I logged via API yesterday evening and favorites were awarded as expected. Don't know if I was given extra's or not, still have 273 to give. Quote
+Michaelcycle Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Same problem here. And I thought I was so special! Gal, you're special to me! Any update from HQ on this issue? Quote
Rock Chalk Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 The issues surrounding Favorite Points are now fixed. Quote
+kunarion Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 The issues surrounding Favorite Points are now fixed. Yes! Thank you! Quote
+PlasmaWave Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks for the update from Admin. I checked by adding a couple of Favourites and happy to see they did stay after refreshing the cache pages. I presume Fav Points added by cachers over past week are lost - unless they go back into each cache page (that's not going to happen in practice). Next question: this exact same issue happened 12 months ago, so is the latest fix genuinely permanent or just temporary again? Quote
+PazaUK Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 If its fixed then where are all the FPs I freed up from archived caches last week? Can they not run a refresh to recalculate our available FPs? Quote
+speedy-1702 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 The issues surrounding Favorite Points are now fixed. There are still issues regarding FPs: When using the option "Add to your Favorites" within posting a new log, it still seems to be malfunctional. Quote
+speedy-1702 Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 If its fixed then where are all the FPs I freed up from archived caches last week? Can they not run a refresh to recalculate our available FPs? You need to free up again, then they get available. Since there where issues last week, the "remove from your favourites" didn't happen. Quote
+barefootjeff Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 There are still issues regarding FPs: When using the option "Add to your Favorites" within posting a new log, it still seems to be malfunctional. I've also just had the "Add to favourites" checkbox in a log not work, so looks like this is still broken. I was able to manually add the point on the cache page. Jeff Quote
+ukkijaai Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I noticed yesterday that my given FP's were not stored. Today I confirmed the bug by trying to give a favo first on log screen and manually afterwards. The list of users who have given FP's to this certain cache did not recognize myself and also my number of available FPs remain unchanged. Both Firefox and Opera applied. Quote
+Vluetkens Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Hi team, I had to realize that some of my caches (e.g. GC6ZT66) do not get favorites points even so users are trying to give some. The counter and "view who favorited" is not changing till yesterday lunch time (CEST). I have cross checked with users who wrote in the log that they have given a favorite point if they have really done it and they have confirmed it. So it looks like the system is currently not giving / showing points. Quote
