I tried using a checker for GC8276K, and the checker will not provide results for me.  It initially asks me to authorize with geocaching, which I allow.  It then asks me to "agree" with the use of the site, which I also allow.  It then loops me to the Project GC dashboard, and will not allow me to get results of the checker.  I have checked and I do not have any authorizations blocked in my authorization settings.  I have also checked some other checkers I have previously used, and the same result.  I have never had a checker not provide results for me, so not sure where to go next?

In the settings for geocaching.com, there is a setting where you can disallow all third-party applications (like Project-GC) to access your information. If you have activated that setting, Project-GC can't work until you change that setting back again.

Correct - I do not have that box checked (blocking 3rd party applications).  In my settings under "Authorizations", it lists "Project GC" under the list of applications I have granted access to.
Try going to the site in an incognito window in your web browser and authenticate in that, and see if that makes any difference.
Hmmm....Same result.
Just tried another browser too, and same result.
Something else...On my dashboard in the upper right it shows me logged in, but in the lower left corner it says I'm not logged in.
Everything seems to be working now.  Thanks for the help.
