Error 500 on 'View past Trackables' link of cache listing

[+Pe_Bo]

Hi,

 

I found an error in the 'View past Trackables' for cache listings whose name contains some Unicode characters.

 

for example:

I found an error in the 'View past Trackables' again!

 

see https://coord.info/GC8C2ZC

and https://www.geocaching.com/track/search.aspx?wid=690768f1-9651-4e04-b313-3c32800522e1

This one works okay for me and does not give me an error.

Will this issue be fixed? Does anyone at Groundspeak care?

As is the case with @Max and 99, I can only reproduce this issue with GC8C2ZC. I'm having trouble finding an indication that this is a widespread issue pertaining to all caches with special characters in the name. Are you able to provide further examples?

Yes, first post is from September 24, 2020 and (probably) has been fixed. I simply continued the thread.

 

The problem is probably caused by a bad split of a long utf-8 character of cache name, because the tracklist truncates the cache name (see 3 dots).

This problem is still not solved after a year! Is anyone at Groundspeak addressing this issue?

I think it's a great shame, the errors keep increasing (see e.g.

etc) and nobody solves them!
