+BrrrMo Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 a first time pq probaly will come instantaenously in that queue, just depends on whats happening so if it is not here... I did something wrong? When I do something wrong it comes back to tell me no caches found, when I know there are caches in the area. Quote Link to comment

+huskerrich2000 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 okay, some of filtering, is cancelling out all the the caches, for example, if I checkmark all the ones I have found, and checkmark all the ones I haven't found. I think that is where your problem is, just do a basic search, with no filters, and see what come up Quote Link to comment
+JPatton Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) On the main Pocket Query page, is it showing that the query ran?. If so, check your spam folder, a bunch of ISPs send mail from gc.com there. Edited April 25, 2009 by JPatton Quote Link to comment

Checked Saturday and Sunday to run, am i impatient or is there more to this feature? Here is what I did I went to the map that shows all the caches and in the upper right corner there is a button that says create pocket Query. I didn't mark any of the choices (just give me anything) and it sent it right away! Keep trying and ask lots of questions. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If it says 0 found then you've got too restricting of criteria. Take a read on my tutorial and specifically setting up a basic. The most common error is selecting "caches I have found" in addition to "caches I haven't found". No single cache can match both of those criteria, so each one is excluded. Start off with almost no criteria and see if you get results. Quote Link to comment

I'll keep checking today to see if anything come thru Quote Link to comment

Also Some ISPs and bulk email providers have been known to block or restrict the rate at which they accept Groundspeak emails. Happens too often. You will not find anything in user accessible junk folders. Best bet is to use something like gmail as many cachers report that works well for PQs. Quote Link to comment
