Weekly notification

[+CeeJay535]

I am no longer receiving the weekly or notification of prople finding my caches. I can't find any spam blockers, I checked my profile "set up notifications" and I can't figure it out.

What ISP are you using for email? Some have been known to throttle emails from Groundspeak.

I have qwest broadband. I used to receive the notifications, then as I was thumbing through GC.com I noticed one of my caches was found a couple days before, then I realized that I didn't get the notification. As far as I can remember, I hadn't done a thing to my email account. I'm stumped

Is there a way to receive notification when a new cache is placed w/in a specific distance around my area?

Yep, first you have to pay $30 per year to become a Premium Member. Then the option shows up on your page so you can set them up.

Look again. He/she is not.

Try using a GMail address and see if it changes. Also, caches logged from the WAP site don't generated the notification emails.

Just by accident I spotted "my controls" panel at the top of the page and I think to "email settings" and and changed settings there, maybe that will work. I guess I'll find out sooner or later. Thanks for the tips.

Just posted a find on your cache via WAP. Let's see if you are notified...I think you will be.

[Motorcycle_Mama]

Nope. No notification.

 

And before I delete the log, are you in Virginia or Arizona today?

Hmmm, OK!

I just learned something.

I would have sworn that had been changed sometime back, but perhaps the action (generates notification, doesn't generate notification) has flip-flopped more than once.

OTOH, it wouldn't be the first time I had a clear memory of something that didn't happen!

Concluding experiment now...log deleted!

I know that people have requested that it be "fixed", but I'm not sure I remember any official "response". I would imagine that the main website is likely the main priority right now.

Perfect example of why I don't like going to the forum for answers. I have no idea what you people are talking about!

Check with your ISP and make sure that they aren't throttling emails from Groundspeak (more specifically from geocaching.com).

 

Also, try using a GMail account instead (at least temporarily) to see if you are then getting the emails.

 

The point that AZ and I were discussing is that when someone logs a cache find from the WAP site (ie from their cell phone) it doesn't generate a notification email. This may have contributed to your issue if users logged a cache via the WAP site.
