+GrateBear Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) So, is this site down for good? I've been using it for years with no problem. About 2 weeks ago, it took several tries before it would upload my finds PQ. Tonight, nothing. Tried about 10 times, and when I click "upload", it just sits there. Anyone else having problems? Well, of course just now it started to work, but it took about 10 minutes to start. I guess this is progress? Edited September 22, 2016 by GrateBear Quote Link to comment
+Viajero Perdido Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Some people run websites as a hobby, maybe to support their main hobby, maybe when they have other things more demanding of their time. Maybe they're actually out having fun in the woods while the server's popping up error messages. Go easy on them please. Spoken from experience. Quote Link to comment

+hzoi Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 You may already be tracking some or all of this, but just in case. When you click upload, you should check the status bar toward the bottom -- it processes several things before it gets you to the "build your profile" page, including checking counties on each of your finds. The more caches you find, the longer it will take. And if others are loading theirs at the same time, it'll slow things down. Quote Link to comment

They are, but the fault here isn't with a Groundspeak site, it's with mygeocachingprofile.com which belongs to A.N. Other, and doesn't appear to be a business. Quote Link to comment
+MKFmly Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 For those who have forgotten (or didn't know)... Groundspeak Acquires My Geocaching Profile (December 15, 2010) http://www.cachemania.com/geocaching-stats-tab-favorites/Groundspeak/2010/12/ It's obvious that GS has integrated some of the MGP stats in your GS profile page, whether it runs MGP site or just has access to the "methods" is maybe debatable.

+The A-Team Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) mygeocachingprofile is not a Groundspeak product. mygeocachingprofile.com has been a Groundspeak product since 2010. Mygeocachingprofile.com Acquired by Groundspeak! Edit: Whoops, cross-posted with MKFmly Edited September 22, 2016 by The A-Team Quote Link to comment
+pseudoprime Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 It is weird that Groundspeak hasn't incorporated more of the features into geocaching.com. Or made it so you don't have to upload the pocket query. Quote Link to comment
