What's wrong with Geocash.com?

Hi All
Tried loading geocaches on my GPS yesterday, with no success,
and then later in the day we were unable to open Geocash.com at
all - on 2 computers and 1 smart phone. We still can't open it
this morning - is this a general problem ie affecting all, or a
local problem for us? Just to add to the equation we loaded the
new Windows 10 onto our computers a few days back - wonder if
this is affecting it? Thanks for any input/advice Jenny :( [

Geocash.com ?
Do you mean Geocaching.com?
Does seem to be a problem with any of the add-ons for sending
gpx files to GPS units.
Most browsers are not allowing the add-ons... Windows 10 seems
to be one of the bigger offenders.
Seems Pocket Queries or third party software is the way to go.
From one of the many threads on the groundspeak forums:
[quote]Unfortunately all browsers are withdrawing support for
NPAPI plug ins, it's not Garmin doing it. At the moment you can
see what bowsers still support GCP here

I've never used Geocash.com
HTML http://ww1.geocash.com/
- all it seems to be is links to related
sites.
I've had no problems with Geocaching.com
HTML http://www.geocaching.com/
or sending GPX files directly to my
GPS, which I did two days ago. I normally use PQ's and download
then. I'm on Win v8.1 using Firefox with an Oregon 650.

I loaded a PQ this morning to a Oregon 300 via Windows 10 and
Firefox

I haven't been on there much this week until today. All seems to
be working ok for me. Never use addons for sending GPX files to
GPSr though, I just save individual caches into c:geo or import
PQs into it. The former worked fine for me this morning.

Hi All
So so sorry I didn't reply to all your responses yesterday, but
every time I pressed the 'reply' button it told me the web page
was unavailable - so frustrating - the computer came very close
to being thrown out of the window! Today I switched on and at
the second attempt it worked fine - I am having this problem
with lots of sites that I regularly use - couldn't access bank
account/Amazon or Geocaching.com yesterday at all.
Walktall - apologies I meant to write Geocaching.com - when I
wrote the original post I knew it looked wrong, but couldn't
figure out what I had done wrong - think they call it a senior
moment + extreme frustration at the computer - B&R realised I
had written the wrong thing! :-[.
I am so frustrated with the whole of Windows 10 I am going to
take the computer to my son to have it uninstalled, so many
things aren't working correctly its driving me totally insane.
So a warning to people who want to accept Windows 10 onto their
computers there are several people we have talked to since our
problems that have had so many gliches with it so be prepared.
Probably not a problem if you are computer savvy, but
non-computer people like me could be in for lots of trouble! So
sorry for my moaning, just so frustrated with it all - will try
to be happier next time I post ;). Thanks all for your advice
Jenny.

I've got the flag on the task bar - your copy of Windows 10 is
ready to download - think I'll wait. Would prefer a separate
computer to test it first.

to. Jenny :)
