I don't know why that happens. It's a bug, but I can't find it. I'll add a widget to the zone page so that the community can recaclulate the dZ stats for a zone.

Wondering if anyone can give some advice as to how to deal with log in problems on the GCA site? I have not been able to log in for at least the last six months. It simply ignores log in attempts. If I put in an incorrect password, it tells me it's incorrect but for a correct password, it takes me back to "log in/register". Either way, I can't access my account. I've a hide in the NT that'll be decomposing before it ever gets published!

On the homepage, if you click on a state on the map, a request is made to:
https://geocaching.com.au/map-vic.png
(swap vic with whatever state you click on)

I'm not sure what the purpose of this request is, but currently it gives a 404 not found error which doesn't seem right.

Daily email error

Post by WazzaAndWenches » 18 November 19 9:39 am

Well, the big event for that other mob :-" has just finished and a number of new caches were published for it and they appeared in my daily email today.
When I click on the GC link for a number of them they actually link to caches published overseas. It appears the "s" in the GC code is being interpreted as a "5". All works correctly for the GCA and gmap links.
ie
St Arnaud History - Post Box by Geocaching Victoria (St Arnaud) 145.37km West
GCA: https://geocaching.com.au/cache/gcsahpb
Other: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... wp=gcsahpb Links to GC5ahpb
Google Map: https://geocaching.com.au/cache/gcsahpb.gmap

and
St Arnaud History - Town Hall by Geocaching Victoria (St Arnaud) 145.37km West
GCA: https://geocaching.com.au/cache/gcsahth
Other: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... wp=gcsahth Links to GC5ahth

They are not real caches if you search for them via the GC search system.
(Possibly they are lab caches or waypoints from another cache loaded by somebody by mistake.)

The behavior from 'S' to '5' is normal as 'S' is not used in GC codes so the GC systems interpret it as '5'. Similar to letter 'O' to zero '0' and a couple of others.

Login to the forum first. It tells you that on the login screen.

I have done that and the problem persists. I am currently logged into the forum, as can be seen by this reply. Should I be logging out of the forum, logging back into the forum, then logging into the site? When the problem first occurred, I messed about quite extensively with this sort of maneuver, but haven't tried recently.

As a data point, tried again this evening to log in. Logged out of the forum, logged in again. No problem. Still can't access GA site. Nothing changed.

I have no further ideas. Please try another device on another network, such as firefox on your phone, but on the mobile network as opposed to your home wifi network

It is definitely something at your end.

I replaced your encrypted password with mine, directly in the database (so I have no idea what your password it).
I can log in as nutwood into the forum.
I can log in as nutwood on the main site.

As CR suggests, this looks like a cookie issue and that's something on your computer that we can't resolve.

This graph seems to cause the server to hit the memory limit: https://geocaching.com.au/stats/cachers ... t_1000.png

And side question, is a graph of fastest 10,000 finds possible?

Happy New Year Fairies.
I too have experienced Unknown log type, set to Noted: pertaining to on a Maintenance log when importing GPX files from GC. "Please advise a site administrator" red letter day message.

Which log were you importing?
Can you please send the gpx file to caughtatwork@gmail.com and with your identification of the log information I'll see why that is failing the transformation.
