+Birdie.NL Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I try to contact a fellow geocacher by way of the message center: https://www.geocaching.com/account/messagecenter It stays totally blank .... So is there some hick-up in the code of at the servers ? Tried Firefox and Chrome - without any improvement. Please repair this bug a.s.a.p. Quote Link to comment
+bernie38 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just the same for me. Waiting for a quick fix Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I am not seeing any problems using the Message Center today. I tested using Chrome, Firefox, Edge (all on Windows 10) and the Official Geocaching App for iPhone. It would be helpful if people experiencing the issue can indicate what operating system and browser/app they are using. 1 Quote Link to comment

+Killerloop1111 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Obviously something changed so that many of us have the problem and this should be fixed. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

+The Jester Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Not only is the Message Center blank for me (Windows 7 with Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)) but also the new dashboard. Only the left column menu shows anything. And the link to the old dashboard is there and working. Quote Link to comment
Frau Potter Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Thanks for reporting these issues. We have been able to repro the issue. It is related to cookies. We will fix it, but the work-around for now is to accept advertising cookies. You can do this in settings: https://www.geocaching.com/account/settings/cookies. We expect a fix soon! 1 Quote Link to comment
+reficior Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Forgot to log in before posting (like 10 minutes ago) in topic Top Menu (Settings / Help / Sign Out) mostly deadI hope the message did come across. I mentioned several issues there, including this one (empty message center) and the drafts page not loading. Dashboard page is loading only left side (the column with menu items) of which quite a few don't work. Map page is still working. All I can do, is write a log. On most pages I cannot log out, but for the log page. I've been experiencing these issues for over two days already Your proposed work-around doesn't solve any of these issues. Not in Firefox, nor in Opera. Where do I go from here? btw. Windows 10, Firefox 83 and latest Opera Edited December 8, 2020 by reficior Quote Link to comment

Thanks but no thanks. BTW, if I untick "Remove message center icon top right" in GClh the MC works and I block just about everything that can be blocked (NoScript, Ghosthery, AdBlock...)in FF 83 64bit.

+yamutha Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) MC not working win10 Firefox 83.0 but is working with Chrome - Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit) ON THE SAME LAPTOP!!! Seems to me to be a cache- clearing problem???? EDIT: Sakletarna (the next message) is correct! I just checked - I had the those different settings on my two different browsers! Edited December 9, 2020 by yamutha new information Quote Link to comment
+Sakletarna Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) This problem seems to be related to the cookie settings. When I unclick Advertising, the message center pages goes blank (tested Chrome, Edge, Firefox - same result in all). For a quick fix: allow all cookie settings (choose the down arrow in the top right corner / Settings / Cookies / Change your consent / Allow all (i.e including Advertising). However, this requires a permanent solution - we really don't like the idea of being forced to accept cookies for advertising purposes. Edited December 9, 2020 by Sakletarna 4 Quote Link to comment
+Birdie.NL Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 I also dislike advertising cookies. I used the email method to reach my fellow geocacher. Accepting, opening message center and then rejecting the ad cookies seems to work, but is not a permanent solution. Quote Link to comment
+Killerloop1111 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Temporarily you can use the Message Center in the Geocaching App. This will work correct to send / receive urgent messages Quote Link to comment
+Aussie87 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Same here with the Firefox :-( Quote Link to comment
+AndréL Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Same for me, blank page on message center Windows 10 , Chrome Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Both (message center & dashboard) are working for me now. Quote Link to comment
Frau Potter Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 This issue was resolved by our engineers yesterday afternoon. The Message Center, Dashboard, Hide a cache page, and Drafts page will work now without having to accept more than necessary cookies. Thank you for your patience while we identified the issue and resolved it. You may need to do a hard refresh in order to see the pages properly. Quote Link to comment
+MysteriusHide Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Although this thread is more than a year old, I have currently the same problem: if I want to open the Message Center, the page stays blank and looks like the screenshot in the first entry in this forum. I have tried it on my computer as well as on my phone, but neither works. I suppose that it has again something to do with the cookies ... Quote Link to comment
+Cachy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Confirmed: Issue is back again! Sadly I had to accept advertising cookies to use the message center. (Windows: Firefox and Edge Android: Opera) Quote Link to comment
+hcy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Same issue here, latest Chrome on MacOS 10.14 Quote Link to comment
+ChriBli Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Funny, exactly the same problem as one year ago is back, and it is the same cacher that reports it again. Here's what I wrote in the other thread: Oh no, not again! I have exactly the same problem, and I've seen it before. Something with the cookie consent stuff. If I leave all the check boxes checked when I load the site, then message center works. Definitely not satisfactory, I routinely uncheck everything but necessary cookies and I have every intention to continue doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Cachy Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Amendment: New message notification (yellow dot) is visable without accepting advertising cookies, but clicking on it results in a (nearly) blank screen. Quote Link to comment
+jallwork Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm getting this problem now Quote Link to comment
+skaut Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Same here, please fix it soon. As a paying customer I´ll not willing to accept avertising stuff! 2 Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hunch: if you can block scripts from cookiebot.com (via firewall, NoScript plugin, etc.), it might work again. That thing - created as a solution to a useless government mandate - has caused no end of problems. I block cookiebot.com at the firewall, and everything works fine. 1 Quote Link to comment
+gerritvanwoerkom Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Same issue. Win10, both Chrome & Edge. Win7 Firefox. I'm now switching cookies on, then do my messaging and then switching cookies off again. That's no way to treat paying users! Quote Link to comment
+ChriBli Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Fixed now, it seems. Quote Link to comment
+terratin Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 And now it's not working for me. Quote Link to comment
+JoeyGE0 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Mine does this for the web version only. To fix it I had to refresh the page multiple times Quote Link to comment
