+pingurus Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 When I try to access any page on geocaching, I get thrown to the sign in page and after I entered username and password the page just loads. Sometimes I get a server error 500, sometimes it will try to load endlessly. Does anybody else get this? 2 Link to comment
+tomturtle Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I was signed in and working, then the site hung. When it came back, it appears that I am no longer logged in. When I try to log in, I get the 500 error. Link to comment
Frau Potter Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 We are having issues on Geocaching.com right now. The engineers are looking into it and hope to have things running smoothly again. 1 Link to comment

+vierhalbe Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Confirmed: Website performance is still grotty, often transactions fail on first attempt and need 1-2 retries (access from Telekom, Germany). But at least some reaction. About 3 hours ago, response was so slow that it always ran into timeout. Observing generally poor performance already since Friday evening (19:00 UTC). Link to comment
+keksbande Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 No chance to log the caches I found this weekend. Logs "fail" without any further error message. Access from Germany (Telecom). Link to comment

+ffts Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Again, currently geocaching.com is neary unreachable from Germany (provider netcologne). It appears very often during the last four weeks. Sometimes it works perfectly and then it's broken and I get timeouts or error 500. It's the same within mobile network where it's another provider (Telefonica). So it does not seem a German provider fault. Link to comment
+STNolan Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Ditto... glad I had cached the urban caches I wanted to do this morning at 0300 when there are no Muggles about! Link to comment

API seems to work (just tested) and GPS is running. Do you really use web pages when Geocaching? 1 Link to comment

Multiple posts on Facebook that references the official and 3rd party apps not functioning so it impacted them.

+mjoniak Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Hello, from Czech republic. I'm observing very slow responses from geocaching.com for last two weeks. Today I was unable to log in into official Geocaching app for IOS. IP Ping shows stable connection to www.geocaching.com without timeouts. Edited April 22, 2019 by mjoniak Link to comment

+arisoft Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 For some reason I can use App in my phone but the website is not working.This is an old app (Neongeo). At this moment I can refresh the map and download caches normally without noticeable delays. Actually, I have not experienced noticeable problems with this App during this year at all.

tom1996 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Your app will use the API - running on (an)other server(s). Check here Link to comment

+Viajero Perdido Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Uh, that link redirects to another with "suspendedpage.cgi" as part of the name. That suggests the domain has lapsed and the website is gone. (The rest of the page is all greek to me.) May be bad news for people still using (trying to use) that app. Link to comment

Keystone Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The NeonGeo app was not updated to use the new Geocaching API, so users of that app will need to find another one. Discussions about available Geocaching Live! authorized partner applications can take place in the API forum. As this thread has gone off-topic from discussing a website bug, I am closing it out. 1 Link to comment
