+Dgwphotos Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I think we need to have the site send an email when a trackable is marked missing. I have had coins marked missing by cache owners, and not known about it until I decided to check up on my owned trackables page. Link to comment
+USA 45 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That would be nice, I had one come up missing in GB and it was marked by cache owner it was gone. Then a month later I think it was ,it saidit was back in same cache. So I wonder if that was done if they can add auto on there to send email? Since that time I check at least once a week.

+Markwell Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I know it was recommended before, and thought to be a good idea. Nothing ever came of it though... Link to comment
+jcar Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 This seems like pretty straight forward thing to program. I think there is a misconception by most people that it already does happen. I asked one cacher that I know after they marked one of my bugs missing (after noticing weeks later) why he had not told me, his response was something along the lines of "you didn't get an email notification when I marked it as missing?". If not programmable maybe changing the message you receive when you mark something as missing to post a note on the bug page to notify the bug owner/watchers. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Sounds like a good idea. I'll put this one down on paper for when we have time. Link to comment
+klossner Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I asked one cacher that I know after they marked one of my bugs missing (after noticing weeks later) why he had not told me ...I'm curious. What would you have done with timely notification? Link to comment

What would you have done with timely notification? Nothing much different, but I would have known. I try to go through my trackables every few weeks. I don't keep a separate db, as some I know do, but I do make note of where my active ones are. When I find one marked missing I don't know when. Did I miss it the last couple time through, did it just happen? Maybe it is just curiosity that is driving my want to know this. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Sounds like a good idea. I'll put this one down on paper for when we have time. I hope it's not in pencil... I usually just scratch it in with my fingernail and then rub dirt in the creases. Link to comment

+sTeamTraen Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I usually just scratch it in with my fingernail and then rub dirt in the creases. I'm sure many of us have done that when we've found a cache with no writing implement and been faced with a 2-mile walk back to the car to get one... Link to comment

+Bear and Ragged Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Sounds like a good idea. I'll put this one down on paper for when we have time. Any further thought given to this idea? Along the same lines... Can anything be done to letting a TB owner know when a cache with their TB in is Archived ? Especially if the cache owner doesn't send an email to the TB owner. (Other than TB owner putting every cache with their TB's in, on Watchlist) Edited March 14, 2009 by Bear and Ragged Link to comment

+chaosmanor Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I asked one cacher that I know after they marked one of my bugs missing (after noticing weeks later) why he had not told me ...I'm curious. What would you have done with timely notification? Retrieved it and dropped it into one of our own archived caches, now that the TB Burial Grounds have all been closed. Call it "closure", if you want to put a label on it. Call me a fussbudget, if you want to put a label on me :laughing: Link to comment
+Dgwphotos Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 It looks like this idea finally got implemented. Thanks! Link to comment
