Website Troubleshooting

Tracker Connection Known Issues

5th May 2023 - Ongoing Investigation - Garmin Web Connection Dropouts

We are aware of an ongoing issue for some members connecting their Garmin accounts to their 10,000 Steps account. This may relate to a Garmin developer portal update released early May 2023, impacting connections from Garmin to other websites.

As a 3rd party connection, our ability to troubleshoot is limited. We are continuing to investigate and are working in contact with Garmin for a resolution.

Disconnecting and reconnecting your Garmin account via Tracker Connections may work for some members, but is not a guaranteed solution. Where automated syncing fails, Manual Entry is the next most accurate option for most users. Manual Entry is available via our website or mobile app.

Team Tournament Known Issues

Feb 2023 - Missing Edit Team Pop-Out Feature

We have some reports of pop-up features of Team creation and Team editing being blocked by web browsers connected to workplace internet connections or devices managed by organisational security.

If you are experiencing issues editing your Team, please try editing your Team on an alternative internet connection or device (for example, home wifi or mobile phone data).

Dec 2022 - Internal Server Error - Create Tournaments

We have some reports Coordinators receive Internal Server Errors when creating or viewing Team Tournaments. For many Coordinators, this issue is due to their account being added to multiple organisation registrations. Coordinators are welcome to move between Organisations, but can only be active on one organisation at a time. To check if you are attached to multiple organisations, please see Coordinator Hub > Organisation Details.

Please Contact Us if you need to move your account to a new organisation registration. An existing Primary Coordinator can also remove you from an older registration.

Monthly Challenge Known Issues

There are no currently reported issues for Monthly Challenges on our website.

Website Forms Known Issues

Feb 2023 - Form Submission Errors

We have some reports of Signup forms, Organisation Registration forms and Contact Us submissions being blocked by web browsers connected to workplace internet connections or by devices managed by organisational security.

If you are experiencing issues submitting your Signup, Organisation Registration or Contact Us form, please try submitting on an alternative internet connection or device (for example, home wifi or mobile phone data). You can also contact us directly by emailing Support via 10000steps@cqu.edu.au.

Email and Account Verification Known Issues

Dec 2022 - Verification and Password Reset Email Delays

We have some reports of members using organisational email addresses (e.g. yourname@workplace.com) and Bigpond email addresses (e.g. yourname@bigpond.com.au) experiencing a delay in receiving emails from 10,000 Steps.

Email verification and password reset emails are sent from admin@10000steps.org, and typically take 5 - 20 minutes to arrive. If you do not receive an email within the hour, please:

Double check the email address you have used to register. Ensure the address, including your name, any full stops, mail server and prefixes has been entered correctly.
Check your Spam/Junk folders. The subject of our email verification is “[10,000 Steps] Please Confirm Your Email Address”.
Search all mail folders for emails from "admin@10000steps.org.au".
Check if you have any mail rules or preferences that are filtering automatic emails into another mailbox or blocking them completely.
Check if you have an IT-level Messages on Hold facility set up, and release all emails if this is available. You may need to contact your IT team to whitelist our email addresses to receive emails from us in your Inbox.

You can request a new Password Reset email at any time via Reset Password.

You can request a new Email Confirmation via Contact Us or by emailing Support at 10000steps@cqu.edu.au.

If all else fails, please try signing up with a non-organisational and non-Bigpond email address. You will need an email account that works with our website to access your 10,000 Steps account, update passwords, and receive tournament notifications.
