Report GCA Site issues here [closed]

Thanks Guys Yep. I'll make sure they don;t stay there too long!

Not a huge issue for us Aussies , but for the Kiwi's sake could the graph (map) of where finds have been made be updated from Map Anz to Map ANZ?

[caughtatwork]

Nope.
Well, could do, but nope.

Technical reason.
We run a linux machine so case is everything here.
The files, by convention, are lower case.
To get the name, by convention, I uppercase the first letter of the word.
So map_anz gets Map Anz.
Tough noogies to them as I don't want to write a line that uppercases ANZ and nothing else.

See, your friendly site admins are not always so friendly

If I remember next time I'm that code, I'll have a look.

Have I done something terrible?

At the Leap Frog site, I chose 'Edit' and saw all my Leap Frogs listed.

Then I chose 'Submit' . . .

Now my frogs are missing from the ladder!

Should I panic?

[caughtatwork]

Nah. I resets the counters when you update your frog details. They'll come back at the next ladder refresh.

[pjmpjm]

Nah. I resets the counters when you update your frog details. They'll come back at the next ladder refresh.

Phew!

I also just noticed that the total number of frogs decreased by 18!

Many thanks for the quick re-assurance.

Now trying to get hands to stop shaking . . .

Some frogs show up as being in 'Sydney' rather than the suburb they are in.
For example:
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3784
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3495
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3451
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3715
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3754
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga4050

Not sure why, there doesn't seem to be a common pattern that I can see.

[caughtatwork]

The common pattern is that's what the Google Maps API returns to us, so we use what it returns.

e.g.
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3495
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geo ... nsor=false

Have the public tags recently been spammed, or has "000 from cover a couple of pounds 4 weeks seems good" always been a public tag?

I like this one:
"but this isn t always the outcome as countless designer shoes or boots and boots are generally manufactured for the shopping department stores on a price it is affordable to a lot br br this shouldn t mean the caliber of the product is very little, but through the eighteenth 1 improvements of one kind along with another triggered greater precision and reliability the names of tompion, but used to do have for taking my five-month-old daughter to police train station so mommy may get fingerprinted because of the local law enforcement agency br br for reasons uknown i wouldn t give the second thought towards the criminal qualifica,"

Hmmm, ticket #484377 raised. Neat!

Looking at it now!

Sorted

Many thanks for the report.

People accidentally post their log in the tags fields

GCA web site is very slow

Trying to download my finds and the transfer rate is 254 bytes / Sec

[caughtatwork]

Ooooh, nasty.
Deadly embrace.
Not quite sure how / why, but I've killed everything and it should be back to normal.
Sorry if your query was killed.
