+ClareLouise Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi hi all! Just in need of a little help... one of my favourite local caches is MIA, and since the cachers is no longer particularlly active (cache has been missing since April!) I've offered to adopt it and they've agreed... was trying to find the appropriate place to let them know where to go, but I can't find it... Can anyone shed a little light on how the process works? Thanks!! CL xx Quote Link to comment

+Mr'D Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 As a matter of interest, is the cache adoption page accessible from somewhere within the GC main menu? On a couple of occasions I have had trouble recalling the web address and had to ask others. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 If you go to "Hide & seek a cache", right side "Hide a geocache"... Click on "Knowledgebase"... Select folder "Geocaching" > "Caches general"... It's in there But, like you, I had to ask somebody! MrsB Quote Link to comment
+scottpa100 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I apply the BBC logic to it. What does that mean? Well we all (sweeping statement but it is the most popular website in the UK that is not a search engine) know that the BBC website is at www.bbc.co.uk. But if I want Eastenders - I don't know what the web address but I'll try www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders I want Radio 2, so I'll try www.bbc.co.uk/radio2 I want Blackadder information so I'll try www.bbc.co.uk/blackadder And so it continues.... not always infallible but generally works rather well. And it's the same with cache adoptions. I want to get someone to adopt a cache for me so I'll try www.geocaching.com/adopt Try it! It may just work! Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I apply the BBC logic to it Gawd! Didn't they coin the phrase'Team GB'? Thank you for the lesson in logic. Quote Link to comment
+PopUpPirate Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Firefox does a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" if you type in the address bar... so for instance, typing Geocaching Adopt will take you straight their, too. It should, anyway, but I'm at work and can't test the theory Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Just tried, it does PuP Quote Link to comment
+DudleyGrunt Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thanks! I just had a need to send an adoption request and sort of thought it would be accessible from the owner view of the cache page. I couldn't find it anywhere until I found this timely thread. D. Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I knew that adding /adopt works, and I didn't have to do all that Zen Eastenders stuff I think I read it in the forums Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I knew that adding /adopt works, and I didn't have to do all that Zen Eastenders stuff Congratulations... "Zen Eastenders" must be the oxymoron to end all oxymorons! Quote Link to comment
