Hi,
Today, Geocaching.com started expiring all authorization tokens that are 90 or more days old. What this means is that when you access the site with an expired token, LonelyCache will no longer be able to access your account (per your authorization) through the Geocaching.com Live API.
I'm not sure of all the different ways an expired token will manifest itself on the LonelyCache website. Probably the most obvious will be that your geocaching.com avatar will no longer show up on the LonelyCache website.
To fix this, go to your LonelyCache account profile and click on the Renew button.
I will be adding some smarts to the website where you will automatically be redirected to the renew authorization page.
Regards,
Russell

Renewed my token twice now. My avatar still is not showing up and my finds are not renewing. How long should I wait?

Re: Geocaching.com Authorization Token Expiring
When I renewed my token, I needed to log off and then log back in. That surprised me as I thought it would have been immediate. Try that and if it still is not working let me know.cyclegreen wrote:Renewed my token twice now. My avatar still is not showing up and my finds are not renewing. How long should I wait?
