+olbluesguy Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Recieved a UNite for Diabetes TB tag in the mail today. Went to activte it,and was required to punch in the tag #,and an activation # which I assume is supposed to be in the little zip lock bag it comes in . Well Im holding the bag right now, and no # here. How do I get this bug activated? O'BG Quote Link to comment
+The Foote Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 (edited) you don't activate it. They are already activated by the United Diabetes people. They will be lsited as the owners of these buigs. go to the TB page and search for the bug # on your tag and you will see that it is there. They tell you jsut to grab it and then release it to the wild. it is jsut like a yellow / white / green jeep. edited to take out un-intended rudeness on my part!!

I tryed to just grab it and the site told me it hadn't been activated yet. What do I do now? I can't drop it off at a site if I'm not holding it!!! Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) The United For Diabetes TBs are already activated. You only need to grab it from its current location. If you are having trouble logging it, first make sure that the 0s are not Os and the Is are not 1s. If that doesn't work for you, send an email with both the tracking number on the tag, and the TB number on the page (if you have it) to contact@Groundspeak.com and put "U4D TB tracking# problem" as your subject line.

Mustcache Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 BTW, how long did it take to receive the TB after signing up? Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) a week or so. for the US, that is. Edited December 20, 2006 by BlueDeuce Quote Link to comment

+JennM Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Not intending to hijack the thread - but I ordered one of these tags on Dec. 6 and have not received it -- I didn't get any confirmation email for my request - did you? I know I signed up before all the tags were handed out - just wondering what may have happened to the one I requested. Cheers, Jenn Quote Link to comment

I just signed up,and got it 10days-2wks later. I kind of forgot about it until it arived. I tried to activate it the regular way, but i guess I forgot what I read when signing up. Maybe they are out.

+JennM Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Well the invitation to sign up is still on Groundspeak's main Geocaching page. I know in one weekly notification it stated how many had been handed out but there were plenty left, and that was well after I requested one. As was mentioned to me in another thread, could be Christmas mail volume holding it up. I guess my impatience is showing Jenn Quote Link to comment
+Team Mollymommy & ToyBoy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I had started a thread earlier, but this also pertains to this thread. I had trouble with the Diabetes TB that I had received. I tried to "grab it" and the TB was supposedly not in the system. I contacted the Help people at Geocaching.com, and they said they were going to submit the bug for activation. I have waited a week and a half, and contacted them again. They said they were going to send me out a new Bug, so there must be some left. If you haven't asked for one, try it now. If you have, perhaps, as the previous poster said, it's the holiday mail problems. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I'd still be happy to check it, no harm in trying. At least not by me. Quote Link to comment

The United For Diabetes TBs are already activated. You only need to grab it from its current location. If you are having trouble logging it, first make sure that the 0s are not Os and the Is are not 1s. If that doesn't work for you, send an email with both the tracking number on the tag, and the TB number on the page (if you have it) to contact@Groundspeak.com and put "U4D TB tracking# problem" as your subject line.

+Winkster Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I received a Diabetes TB in the mail and I dropped it off in a cache today, but I cannot log the TB!!! I wrote a to the log that I left. I can't find anywhere to say I grabbed it!! Quote Link to comment

I received mine last week and the UNA number is not active. How do I get this activated without a number? My niece who has diabetes is with us for Christmas and we want to launch this bug while they are still visiting. dad2jnk Quote Link to comment
+FlynSunshine Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Mine will not "grab" itself, either. It wants the activation code- even though they are supposedly already activated? Quote Link to comment
+FlynSunshine Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 *bump* Just visit the U4D page, and log it there. That's what I did while I was playing around looking for it, and I think it's working. Quote Link to comment

We may have to wait until her next visit. Too bad. Quote Link to comment
+JennM Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Got my tag today Ordered December 6. I've already "grabbed" it and will move it along shortly It's going to India - so it's got a long way to go! Jenn Quote Link to comment

+mmmarkansas Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 We have also had difficulty with our Unite for Diabetes TB. I went to the website and logged it when we received it, added a note, then released it. When we went back to log where it was dropped, my previous logs were gone (even though we got the confirmation email) and we kept getting an error when we tried to "drop" the bug. Hopefully the cacher who gets it next has more luck than we did... Quote Link to comment
