+greyhounder Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi, I am having troubles adopting out a couple of my coins. I go to www.geocaching.com/adopt and enter the TB number (not the number on the coin). I get a message that says, "You have not been asked to adopt this listing" Well, duh! I am trying to adopt the coin to someone, not adopt it myself. I've tried this oh, about a million times now, and am not getting anywhere. Before I throw my laptop across the room, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've adopted out a coin before and had not troubles. Thanks! Bec Quote Link to comment
nebukatneza Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 you also have to enter the caching name of the person who should adopt the coin! don't know if you have kept in mind this step!? Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 It's not even getting me to that step! When I enter the TB# initially for the coin to be looked up, I get the message: "You have not been asked to adopt this listing" Still frustrated! Bec Quote Link to comment
+PengoFamily Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I think you need to put the number on the coin, the actual tracking number to adopt it over. Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 All right -- figured out what I was doing wrong!! You have to be logged into the right username to adopt coins (I have a couple geocaching identities -- not sock puppets!!) Thanks for the help! Bec Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I tested it and it passes that first page. You do have to use the reference number not the tracking number. (located on the upper left) Use xxxxxxx to reference this item. I would think you would get that response if the number is wrong or it doesn't think you are the owner, like because you're not logged in. If it's still not working can you tell me which coin it is?
