+elyob Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Years ago, different waymarkers experienced different glitches due to different servers rather than different browsers. Is that what is going on this week? I still have access to Waymarking web site. Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I can get on geocaching just fine, but not Waymarking. Quote Link to comment

None of the links do anything 3 different devices, 4 different browsers, at home and away from home. Edited December 21, 2019 by Max and 99 1 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I think I know what's happening. I must have used up my maximum allotted visits to the WM site this year. January 1st I'll probably be allowed back on again. 2 Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'm on!!! I'll tell you how we did it, in case it helps anyone else. My husband is notoriously bad at remembering usernames and passwords. He sat down at the computer to try and troubleshoot why I couldn't get on the website. He got the username wrong. Then he got it wrong again. Then he asked me for the correct one, and it let him on. So the solution seems to be to trick the computer into thinking it's first someone else logging on, then it'll let you. Just kidding. Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 One thing different I noticed is that when I upload a photo to a new waymark page, it doesn't show me a preview like I have always seen before. I have to click on the gallery to see it. Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I feel so stymied! Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I've never felt so frustrated with this hobby. I was so excited to finally get on with one of the browsers, but it's hit and miss. Not only that, but I can be on working away for 45 minutes then suddenly no access. Good thing I like to read. Quote Link to comment
+elyob Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 ...and yet most of the rest of us carry on with only minor issues. It makes no sense to me how we are all experiencing such different issues with the new Waymarking.com. Quote Link to comment
+elyob Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 ...and there is never a challenge to get access to this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment
+bluesnote Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Only issue I have been having is that the site is abnormally slow, taking about 30 seconds or so to load pages. I am assuming we are all experiencing the issue. We have had something like this in the past (around the same time of year) where the site was very slow at loading. At least this time around I can actually upload photos without getting an error screen. I remember that bootron said they will work on this issue after the holidays which is great! The holidays is when I travel the most and having the site working normally will make life so much better getting through my hundreds of waymarks to submit. Quote Link to comment

+Max and 99 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I couldn't get on the website today. At all. After hearing me complain, my husband tried and got on just fine (same browser and computer that I tried). So I'm working away, and notice that when I upload a photo, it doesn't show the preview on the page like I normally see (I've mentioned this before). I then look at the gallery link to confirm it did indeed upload. Now I notice that even though it appears that the photo did not upload, and even though the gallery says there are NO photos, there actually are photos. Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 My waymark notifications have been interrupted. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. Just reporting as requested. Quote Link to comment

+elyob Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Maybe things are so slow that the browser is timing out. Quote Link to comment
+bluesnote Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Yes, seems to be offline again! I'm using safari and get the "Failed to open page" message. Been getting this multiple times in the past few weeks. All these new Groundspeak updates really are hampering with the usability of the websites. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I was able to access the site, log in, and decline two waymarks. I used Firefox' most current version, so try that if available to you. Quote Link to comment

I just tried again to get on Waymarking and had no trouble at all accessing the site and editing a waymark. Not on firefox, either. Quote Link to comment
+ToRo61 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm using Chrome. I estimate that about 40% of my requests on Waymarking.com are delayed. I notice delays at certain recurring intervals. I would understand the delay in some search of waymarks or uploading photos, but there is also delay in displaying an empty form for photo upload when I post a new waymark. This is a very simple page with minimal graphics. Quote Link to comment
+Alfouine Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) The problem is not the browser.... At 8:50 am GMT+1 (France times) it was working perfect, i validated few waymarks. At 8:08 am GMT+1, i have this error : Quote Ce site est inaccessible La connexion a été réinitialisée. Voici quelques conseils : Vérifier la connexion Vérifier le proxy et le pare-feu Exécutez les diagnostics réseau de Windows ERR_CONNECTION_RESET At 8:16 am i still have the same error and i am unable to connect to my validating queue at 8:19 i try to validate a waymark, it's slow but it works at 8:27 The waymark is validated, i had the error trying to edit a photo at 8:31 two minutes waiting times to open a waymark to validate, but clicking on accept waymark was immediate !!! at 8:39 20 seconds waiting times to open the waymark and 4 minutes waiting times after clicking on accept waymark to reah my queue at 8:40 30 seconds to validate the next waymark !!!! at 8:44 last waymark validated I had 12 waymarks to validate, it tooks 54 minutes, and 30 minutes to validate only 3 waymarks That is why if you create or validate only one waymark you can be lucky and have the feeling that everything works.....

bootron Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I am sorry to hear you are still having issues. Since our CCPA updates went out we have been experiencing some database CPU issues and continue to be working to improve performance. We are trying to determine if the issue is related to the Waymarking code update itself or if something on that data server has coincidentally started behaving weirdly. Originally we were seeing these slowdowns take place in 5 minute waves and our monitoring system was detecting them as they took place. Now, due to some of the database updates we've made, that same system is seeing the slowdowns take place much less frequently, more like 3-4 per day. We have some more things we will be trying this week to get it back to a good place, but I would be curious to hear what others are experiencing out there. For me right now the site is very fast and seems to be functioning well. But I can see from my notifications that that is not always the case. What are you all experiencing?

+Max and 99 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I've been working away on Firefox (different device than last night), and so far no issues! Man, what a feeling! Don't jinx me, Signal! Quote Link to comment
+ToRo61 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I agree that the problem arised in waves, but probably more often than 3-4 per day. Currently the server response is very good :-) Thanks for your message bootron. Quote Link to comment

+Max and 99 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Weird, but the system let me in (same device), when I accessed it from the "nearest waymarks" link from a geocache page. Quote Link to comment
+PISA-caching Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I just tried the "My Waymarks" link in the "Quick Searches" area and it took around 55 seconds, before the page loaded. I checked some other things like "Full Category List", a random category of it etc, and everything loaded much faster than usual (5-7 seconds). Tried the "My Waymarks" link within the same session again and this time it took 20-25 seconds. I then added a country to the search criteria and the page loaded even faster (around 15 seconds).

+fi67 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I recently have not seen any big problems. Sometimes really, really annoyingly sloooow. But not always. It seems to be time related and I just was lucky. But why? Either there are peak hours that cannot be served with the available resources. Not good. This cannot be solved without money (for better hardware or bandwidth) and we know that Groundspeak has been quite shy when it's about spending something to Waymarking. But maybe there are some performance eating background tasks that could be re-scheduled to when only the waymarkers in Fiji are active. Quote Link to comment

But two days ago I tried it at 3:00 AM, which is 6 PM in Seattle. That was horrible, the site was unusable, alternating between connection resets and several minutes response time.

+bluesnote Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Seems to be working just fine the past day or so, which is strange. Fingers crossed that this lasts. Quote Link to comment
+ToRo61 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hmmm, I don't want to rely on 'Fingers crossed that this lasts' :-) Most of us is Premium Member - we should be more demanding in terms of reliability and speed of Waymarking.com. We should ask for a clear answer if and when someone will deal with it. Quote Link to comment
+ToRo61 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm really frustrated... I'm not able to select correct combination of Country and State / Province when I setting new waymark for Czech Republic country State / Province box offers no choice or allows to select US State / Province !!!
