Geocaching Australia

The server had a bit of a moment this morning. I've restarted the database and cleared out the rss caches

Should (hopefully) be ok.

The server needs a bit more RAM

Still no green balloons
I know you are doing your best btw

Thanks. Yeah was down for over an hour.

Mostly working now

Still not getting finds for WA for July or 2012

Hate to be a total pain but my finds are still not showing up on the map, none of the ones I've found are showing in green, just their usual blue/pink

Are you logged in on the site?
Does it say Logged in as Taz on the top right?

Ahhh problem solved, I have no idea why I was still logged into the forum but I'd been logged out of the main site. Didn't occur to me that was even possible
Thanks

Is there a reason why every now and again (say every two weeks) I get logged out of either the GCA site or the forum? It's not a cookie issue as I would visit the sites many times in between. Seems to be different times for the two sites, i.e. not both at the same time.

Not a big issue - just wondering why it could be happening.

I note that GC also logs me out now and again - not just after upgrades.
Gmail will also do the same which I suspect is a security thing.

My antivirus software runs a clean once a week and I find after that I tend to have to log into all my sites again. I have always just put it down to that, could it be the same for you?

You may be right. I'll have a look at the timing of the logouts this week.

You may not have changed the cache page. Someone may have loaded a file with corrected co-ordinates. I'll reset them to what they were originally.

I always thought the code scraped out final locations, any waypoints and corrected coordinates?

When I update my own caches I don't bother stripping them out.

Depends on how it comes through.
Additional waypoints we ignore.
Corrected co-ordinates are used via the daily feed, but not through my/import.
This one is weird but it looks like it came through the feed, so I'm not sure how it got changed.

No worries and thanks - I was just suprised to see it that's all. I checked to see if anyone had added a log with coordinates but nothing there (or at least when I got to look at it). Before anyone rushes to record the coordinates - they're wrong!

Just letting you know the links for Japan and North America under Community/OpenCaching are not valid. Japan doesn't seem to exist and the other returns a forbidden message.
