+orovalleysam Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 As an owner of a placed Geocoin, now on the move; first I was not getting retrieval notifications and now I am not getting placed notifications either. What is the problem? Link to comment
+Corey Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Lots of people have been having similar issues after the recent site update. See the thread Release Notes 7/23/08 Link to comment
+Shilo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I'm just getting retrieval logs for my owned geocoins. Well some anyways. Guess this issue isn't important enough for a response from TPTB as to what happened, if they are working on it or even if they know about it. Link to comment
+Shilo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Guess they need to fix forums too Edited August 3, 2008 by Shilo Link to comment
+monstermunch Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Lots of people have been having similar issues after the recent site update. See the thread Release Notes 7/23/08 The above thread is so long now that I haven't time to go through it all. Is this problem being addressed? I get notification when my coins are retrieved but NOT when placed. Link to comment
+Shilo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 HELLO Groundspeak???????????????????????????????? Any idea whats going on? Working on it? When is it going to get fixed? Link to comment
+alien88 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This is *still* going on. Highly, highly annoying.. and no acknowledgement from Groundspeak. Link to comment
OpinioNate Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Sorry for the trouble, folks. We are aware of some email irregularities and are investigating. It would be really helpful if others could post their experiences in this thread as well so we have more to work from. Thanks for any information you all can provide. I'll let you know when I have more information. Link to comment
+Corey Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Standard problem: I'm simply getting "retrieved" emails but not "dropped" emails for the trackables I own. Link to comment
+ThePetersTrio Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Standard problem: I'm simply getting "retrieved" emails but not "dropped" emails for the trackables I own. Same here - I also get "discovered" notifications. Link to comment
+UncleJimbo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Sorry for the trouble, folks. We are aware of some email irregularities and are investigating. It would be really helpful if others could post their experiences in this thread as well so we have more to work from. Thanks for any information you all can provide. I'll let you know when I have more information. I seem to be getting both Retrieve and Drop emails for coins that I am Watching (I have not checked them all to see if I am missing any), but I know that I am only getting some of the notification emails for Travelers that I own.

southpawaz Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Similarly, I appear to be receiving drop, retrieve and discover emails for items on my watchlist. I am receiving retrieve and discover emails for my owned items, but I am not receiving drop notices for those items. I stopped receiving them approximately 7/17 or 7/18. Link to comment
+Markwell Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Bookmarked items with the bookmark list set to notify is not sending ALL of the items. Link to comment
+Shilo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I only appear to be missing owner notification of Placements only on owned trackables. I get retrievals and discoveries just fine. My watchlist items are fine, getting everything. I don't have any owned caches so don't know about those. No bookmark items set to get notifications so can't help out here. Thank you for the info OpinioNate Link to comment
+HarleyPiper Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I had InstaNotify set up to show all found caches within 30 miles of my home coordinates, and it was working fine before the upgrade. Afterwards, I stopped getting emails showing the caches I found that fit the criteria. I am still getting emails for other members who find caches in the area, although I have no way of knowing if I'm getting them all or not. Please help! Link to comment

+The Jester Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have receive zero emails for my personal tracking coin - not when I drop it or pick it up. Link to comment
+alien88 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Thanks Nate. For things in my watch list, I receive both the retrieved and dropped notifications. For my own personal geocoins, I receive the 'retrieved' notification but no 'drop' notification. Link to comment
+Outback Caching Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I'm only receiving emails on my trackable items when a cacher picks them up (logs a grab) from a cache, but i do not receive an email when that same cacher drops that trackable item into a cache. I've email GC, and they are aware of the problem, and are working on it. Link to comment

It would be really helpful if others could post their experiences in this thread as well so we have more to work from. Thanks for any information you all can provide. I'll let you know when I have more information. My only Geocoin recently got retrieved after sitting for nearly 2 years in a hard cache I placed it in. I received an email notification when it was retrieved but nothing when it was dropped in another cache a few days later. Link to comment

AZcachemeister Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I moved one of my coins through a bunch of caches today (probably over 100 logs). Many of the moves were in and out of caches I own. Nary a peep in my EMail. I LIKE IT THIS WAY! If it's a log I write on my own cache, or a move I make of my own TB or coin, I don't need an EMail about it. For those not getting EMail about moves/logs from others, I understand there is something to be concerned about. Link to comment
+monstermunch Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I am fed up with having to go through my TB and GC inventory to see if someone has dropped one off. What is being done about this? Link to comment

+palmetto Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Here's a geocoin of mine with some logs since the release July 23. New Mexico Geocoin I received no emails on any logs since July 23 Link to comment
+Eric K Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've noticed for the Fallen Heroes Geocoins account for some time now I haven't gotten the 'placed' notices. The other notices. (grabbed, discovered, and retrieved) have been coming in fine. Nate: If you need to feel free to contact me directly as that account has over 1500 of the coins activated. Thanks Link to comment
+TexasGringo Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Notified of Drops? Nope...not because of Groundspeak, but because 7 out of 9 are Missing In Action...Gone...Disappeared...Vanished...etc. Link to comment
+spuds4t Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) For a couple of months now, not only have I not recieved notification of the whereabouts of the few TB's that I have put out, but I no longer get the weekly notification of new caches in my area :- United Kingdom/ Bristol Area. Please help sort out this problem, variations of which seem pretty common. Many thanks, Spuds4t Edited August 19, 2008 by spuds4t Link to comment
+alien88 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hopefully some day this will get fixed. *sigh* Link to comment
+TECGeoJim Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I am still not getting any notifications when many of my geocoins are retrieved or dropped. I am getting at least some of the notifications when my coins are being discovered. Link to comment
+TECGeoJim Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I think that I have narrowed down the problem -- I am not receiving emails for travel bugs or geocoins when I move them. I guess this is okay but it would have been nice to have gotten a notification that this was happening from Groundspeak. Link to comment

I guess this is okay but it would have been nice to have gotten a notification that this was happening from Groundspeak. That may be true, but it's clear that we aren't receiving dropped notices for our coins. I'm definitely not moving one of my coins and the only notices I'm receiving are the retrieved ones.

Guyute1210 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I don't recieve either drop or retrieve owner emails for my geocoins that I take to events. I don't have them in circulation, so I'm not sure if i'll get them when others drop them or retrieve them. I get all other emails on watchlist and bookmarks. I'm on gmail if that helps.

This is my major Senior's hobby and I am totally at a lost at the moment. No news from any direction whatsover. Are there others like myself out there in the UK not getting information on new releases, TB movements et al? Should I re-start with a new identity or what???????????????.

+Hi-5ers Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Please can someone give some definitive answer about this (or at least a link to a thread where an answer exists)? If there is a technical problem then please let us know about it and we can all sympathise with the people that are trying to fix it, and 99.9% of people will be patient. However at the moment it sounds like a problem that nobody is trying to fix which I am sure is not the case. Link to comment
