When I established the forums in 2005 it was to offer a more richer web experience and greater functionality than the platform where we started this social adventure in 2003, Yahoo Groups. The forums were once a busy hive of activity and provided locals and visitors with a wealth of information just like the Geocaching Ireland Discussion Group on Facebook today.
It was a time where we didn't have the many social media platforms we have today, and it was a different time in terms of mobility and technology. There was no instant access to information, no Google Maps and a very limited base map on your GPSr. Mobile connectivity for me was a 9600bps Infrared connection from a Nokia to a laptop and in later times to a PDA using WAP.
As we moved into the social media era so did our forums users. Geocaching Ireland moved there too, and we have a thriving community on the Geocaching Ireland Discussion Group on Facebook. As a result, forum activity isn't what it used to be and I have taken the decision to disable new registrations to the forums and to make the forums read only so any information there can still be accessed.

Unrecognized state name
When I run FindStatGen I get an unrecognized state name. I have mainly found caches in the Southeast and a few in Dublin. Does anyone know which one it is, or how I can fix it?

Re: Unrecognized state name
Is this in GSAK? or is that a stupid question?
Re: Unrecognized state name
FindStatGen3 is a macro that is used by GSAK.
While I missed the original post, I've never come across this issue with GSAK though I use that macro.

SOLVED
Under found geocaches on geocaching.com there is a field with region/state and country. On some of my Irish finds there were no region, so I went in to each single file in gsak and changed the region from none to whatever it should be and then locked the file. And now it works.
