+TrekMan27 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have looked in the "Hide and Seek a Cache" for a way to see the latest published caches. But no find anywhere. How do the cachers that see then first thing in the a.m. and then claim FTF see what is brand new that morning? Am I just being blind on the website? -TrekMan27 Quote Link to comment

+TeamAtlas Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 For some reason this doesn't work for me. I set it up to receive instant notifications on several types of caches, within a 100 mile radius, when I first joined as premium member. I am yet to receive a new cache email notification, even though there are caches being placed locally. I am only getting the standard weekly notification. Quote Link to comment
shootingstar7 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Is that option available for regular members? Quote Link to comment
+wapahani Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Is that option available for regular members? Don't believe. Well worth the $3 a month fee! To the other question. You should go back and make sure everything is ok in your notifications. You should receive email notice. You can set it up to receive notice when anything is done, from logging a find, dnf, notes, published, and so on. you will get an almost instant notice. Quote Link to comment

That is the only thing I can think of. Quote Link to comment
SARAH ! Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm a premium member, but when I was a member I used to do this: sign in, go into hide and seek a cache, then click on my state in "by State (US only) and then all new caches or events would come up. It still works for me and that's how I do it. Sorry for my run-on sentences. Quote Link to comment

That is the only thing I can think of. No I put my zipcode as the origin. Still not getting any instant notifications, but now I check the local forums every few days to see what's newly published. By doing that I actually got a FTF on a cache about 50 miles away on July 4th. Still don't know why I'm not getting the instant notices. I'm sure it's something simple, just can't figure it out.

crawil Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Maybe your mail client/provider is eating them or rejecting them as SPAM? I ended up using a GMail account and haven't had a problem since. Quote Link to comment

Do you have "Enable notification" checked on the notification page. Did you choose a Type to Watch. You have to tell it what kind to notify you about. Below is the 3 that I have for mine. Oops, I see you said you did, Sorry If you have one for Multi-cache and not have one for a Traditional Cache then a Traditional Cache is published you wont get a notification for a Traditional Cache. Hope this makes sense, I'm not good at explaining stuff like that. Log type(s): Publish Listing Event Cache Log type(s): Publish Listing Multi-cache Log type(s): Publish Listing Traditional Cache Edited July 8, 2008 by lacomo Quote Link to comment

Log type(s): Publish Listing Event Cache Log type(s): Publish Listing Multi-cache Log type(s): Publish Listing Traditional Cache Yes to all of the above... but I think I found out what the problem is. Apparently you can only get notifications for caches published w/in a 50 mile radius, not 100 as I had specified. I went back to double check them all and they all said 50. So I tried changing and it went back to 50 each time. I guess there haven't been any published recently w/in 50 miles of me, but a little more than 50 (like 55), yes. Oh well. Thanks for everyone's help. Quote Link to comment
