      And, it is not even the weekend!!

      The trend seems to be that they perform planned system outages in the middle of the week to limit the impact on their users. Most of their users need the site UP on the weekend (when most are looking to log their finds or pick out a cache to go look for..)

      If it goes down on the weekend it’s probably not planned 😯

      Means they are probably rolling out changes or moving something today.

      Sure enough, on the groundspeak forums there is a 5/20 site release notes posting. They’ve updated things again. Here is the text of the post for those who don’t want to click one more time to read it:

      Greetings cachers. For this month’s code release we offer a major upgrade to the Caches Along a Route feature.

      In the new version of CAaR, you are presented with a tool for creating routes online using Google Maps. Create a route between 2 points up to 500 miles in length. Play around with detours from the route and you’ll be surprised that a “route” can even be shaped as a square! Basic members can experiment with route creation, too.

      In addition to many infrastructure tweaks, these bugs were fixed:

      Release Notes – Geocaching.com: May 2009

      10274: Bulgarian Cache Note
      Added Bulgarian cache note

      9607: Banned premium member still receives bookmark list notifications
      Banned member no longer receives bookmark notifications

      10209: Caches that have not been reviewed show on hotel page
      Unpublished caches no longer appear on hotel pages

      10023: Change “archive” to “delete” in warning dialogue when deleting PQ
      Changed “archive” to “delete” when deleting a PQ

      9570: Cannot edit cache types for ‘cache along a route’ pocket query
      Fixed issue with CAAR PQs not allowing edit of cache type

      Please let us know of any issues you find with this update. As usual, known bugs should be discussed in another thread. Thanks!

              It was down off & on for a while tonight. They were doing some fixes. Use the following link to see if the site is down or if it’s just something on your end

              4th of July weekend and it’s down??? 🙄

              #1905601

              My browser is acting like geocaching.com is not even valid rather than “they are down for maintenance”… that is weird. Maybe they forgot to pay their domain bill..

              Usually when they are down for maintenance they now show a message about visiting the forums. However, their forums are under the geocaching.com domain as well.

              groundspeak.com doesn’t load either..

              interesting time to be down.
