+GJCaesar Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 When looking in my profile at the maps-sction in my statistics page, I realised that the maps, which were assigned there are missing now. Does anybody know, whats happened to them (The help there suggests, that a map should be there, but it is a list of countries, where I logged caches only). Quote Link to comment

Have you by any chance disabled Flash in your browser? Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Highly recommend keeping it disabled. It's a world-class vector for malware. Quote Link to comment
+skramble Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Highly recommend keeping it disabled. It's a world-class vector for malware. Sure, but use FlashControl and you can disable it by default, and allow select sites by exception. Quote Link to comment

Have you by any chance disabled Flash in your browser? Coming back to the core discussion: A missing Flash player appeared to be the source, installing it solved the problem. However, I agree to the remarks about the security problems connected with it. So I wonder, if there might be a solution for this statistics without flash (but I am aware that asking this question may indicate to my ignorance here) Thank you for your help anyway.

+skramble Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So I wonder, if there might be a solution for this statistics without flash... The long term solution in re the maps would be to lobby GS to abandon Flash, but in the meantime if you want to see those maps here are some sites that may be useful in configuring selective enabling of Flash, depending on your browser of choice: http://mashable.com/2015/07/13/how-to-disable-adobe-flash/#IWUngNI8vkqb http://www.worldstart.com/control-flash-content-in-internet-explorer/ http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/disable-flash-windows-10-edge-browser If you are using Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/flashcontrol/mfidmkgnfgnkihnjeklbekckimkipmoe For Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-control/ Hope this helps.

+SisqoKid Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm sorry for digging this old thread up again, but I'm currently having a bit of a problem with the maps on the statistics page as well. I tried to have a look at my own maps today, but where they should be (the world map and Europe map) was only a small red box saying "Requested map does not exist". Refreshing the page didn't help. Tried having a look at another user's map, same thing there. Tried a third and fourth user, and the maps showed perfectly there. So I guess I can rule out a missing or deactivated flash player/plugin. Is that a known (temporary) bug? ~*SisqoKid*~ Quote Link to comment
+jimmyg7929 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I had this problem a week or two ago and when I went to look again so I could report it, the maps were working. At this time I am seeing the same problem as SisqoKid. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Perhaps it's been fixed, as I see mine no problem, as well as those in the two previous posters' statistics. Edited April 21, 2017 by hzoi Quote Link to comment

Some times the GS servers seem to get overloaded, especially on weekends. This is a particularly busy weekend....CITO's, 2 new souvenirs....not surprised that things glitch out once in a while. B.

+SisqoKid Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Good to know I'm not the only one with that problem. Right now I'm only seeing Pup Patrol's maps, for everyone else here including myself it's still (or again?) "Requested map does not exist". And while I get your point about this being a particularly busy weekend, unfortunately it's not the first time this has happened. Just like jimmyg7929 I've also experienced this before, like two or three weeks ago and then every once in a while... so I thought it couldn't hurt to report it. Have a good weekend everyone!

I'm having no problem seeing the maps in YOUR profile, as I said in my post above. https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=3886621 Perhaps you should refresh your computer's cache, and try again looking in your profile/statistics/maps.

I'm having no problem seeing the maps in your profile, either. https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=929237 I'm assuming that we are talking about the GS maps in people's profiles, not 3rd-party maps that are displayed as part of the first page of one's profile.
