+two bison Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) suddenly can't log into geocaching ... are things down? ... geocaching status says only "payments" are having an interruption of service I was in the midst of editing and submitting drafts when, after submitting one I was suddenly logged out and had to log in ... posted another find and the same thing happened ... now I get a "500 - Server error" Edited August 14, 2017 by two bison added additional detail 1 Quote Link to comment
+two bison Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 thanks ... I'll go read for awhile Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Not sure what keeps http://status.geocaching.com/ up to date and if it's managed by a person or automated, but for the current situation, API should be show as an outage. 3rd party apps are unable to connect and receive an error about being Not Authorized or something similar.

+kylekite Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hope comes up soon Quote Link to comment
+Rae of Hope Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Thanks for letting us know! Was also receiving the 500 - server error report after being booted out of my account and trying to log back in. Thumbs up to all those working on getting the server back up! We certainly appreciate it!!! Quote Link to comment

What are you trying to do - anything/everything? Maybe log out, if you can, and log back in. Also try an incognito window which will force you to log in and see if you still get an error.

+hunterKat Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Is this related? - Link at top right of many pages to my stats & profile information is missing. This may have started on Monday, possibly Sunday, I don't recall exactly. But it seems to be growing to more and more pages. I also noticed the cache name was missing on each cache page I opened a couple days ago. Another related problem? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+Dr.MORO Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Came here to check what's going on. HQ down, confirmed. Time to figure out what the secret code is... Quote Link to comment

+missskitty Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hmmmmm....me too. Guess I'll go and try to get the code too! Quote Link to comment
+barefootjeff Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I just went out for a little while only to find when I got back that I've been logged out of the site and can't log back in again. Quote Link to comment

+-CJ- Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Wish you luck with fixing that. Indeed, it happened when I created a PQ for my journey tomorrow and was going to download it Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Must have been a very important one ... the one run by the Hamsters. Quote Link to comment
+Gill & Tony Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Happening here, both in Chrome and Firefox. I am logged out and have to log in again. After I enter User ID and password, the system thinks for a bit and tells me I need to log in. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The engineers are aware of this and have been working on the problem for the past half hour or so. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Huh. Keystone posted the tl;dr. If, perhaps, the data is lost as well, that means I'm finally free! I get to find a new hobby! No more traveling! No more roller coaster ride that has been going on for the past several years! No more driving out of my way to visit spots littered with trash! No more being in limbo in so many ways! Free! Finally free! I'm going to be sad when it comes back up, aren't I? Quote Link to comment

Ranger Fox Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just now, skramble said: Sorry, you're in bondage again. Nooooooo!!!!! Upside: I am not more than a day behind in my cache logs. Downside: Looks like I'm going to have to find another one tomorrow, then. And the day after that and the day after that and the day after that... Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm able to log into the website via browser, and I can access via the API again. (Note: this is not an official report. I hope all's back to normal for everyone else!) Quote Link to comment
