+Knoxes Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) I know you guys must get tired of this stuff. I know how to set it up... I think. I've built five of them. But I never seem to get the actual email with the zip file. I managed to pull it off once, but it was a full moon.... I have no idea how I did it that time. I've checked my spam accounts, tried using different email accounts... I'm sure there's just something I'm not doing right. This is what it looks like: Name Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Last Generated (PST) Preview (100) Local Never Preview (100) New Query Never Preview (50) 3/6/06 Never Preview (100) 28714 Never Preview (10) Cane Creek 3/26/2006 11:10:43 AM Total Queries/Day 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 Shouldn't I basically get the email/attachment instantly?

+Miragee Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 There seems to be a problem with the PQs in the last day or so. It is being discussed in the Web Site Forum. The last ones I requested a couple of days ago came through promptly, which is the usual case. Link to comment
+Knoxes Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hmm.... but I've been trying since February... Link to comment
+briansnat Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Moving to the geocaching.com website forum where the experts can help. Link to comment
+Knoxes Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks, brian. I do want to clarify that, in my case, I'm fairly certain that I'm doing something wrong, since I've only ever received one, out of probably 8 attempts - over a couple of months. At this point, having read the other threads, I'm not expecting anything today, but I'd like to make sure that I'm doing it right. For all I know, I broke the doggone thing! So it goes....

+beejay&esskay Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Knoxes- Notice that most of those don't have a "last generated", except for one (which must be the one during the blue moon.) Once you create the PQ you have to schedule it to run. Just check the box for today's day and it will run almost instantly (since it's never run before.) Link to comment
+Knoxes Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 So, after I set it up, I just need to go to the "My Pocket Queries" page and put a check mark in the box on today (to get an instantaneous email)? There's no "submit" button that I'm missing? Link to comment
+beejay&esskay Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Right, no "submit". (The speical "my finds" PQ has a submit, but not the ones you create.) The idea is to make it simple to set up PQs to run on a schedule, rather than having to submit them each time you want them. (There is another thread about some people having difficulties with their PQs today. I didn't have trouble with mine. Your issue seems to be, at least to start, that you never scheduled them to run.)

+Adrenalynn Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 It would generate "almost instantly" if the darned things weren't broken. . . [pout] None of my PQs have generated since before Thursday afternoon... Link to comment
+2Wheel'in Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 The PQ's may be back, just received one I submitted earlier today.......yahoo!!! Regards, Bill Link to comment
+Henki Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I just received the one that I submitted yesterday. Link to comment
