caches missing from pocket queries

[+tedwin]

I have a weekly pocket query set for local, ie under 30km from home, I also get notification of new caches and the weekly update from Groundspeak. I often notice that caches are missing from one or other of these. The weekly notice usually has several caches not in my pocket query. Any ideas?

It does seem from time to time that notification emails either get lost in the system or are never sent.

 

 

Have you set up a notiication for each type of cache that you get in your PQ? You have to set a notification for each cache type.

 

 

With your PQ again have you got it set for each cache type you are getting a notification for?

There was one cache near me which refused to be included in any general PQ that I generated, even if I also specifically set all the criteria to pick it up. So, there are some possible issues. My solution was to download a separate GPX file and go and find the cache

I'd only expect the two to be the same if the two reports were run at exactly the same time. The PQ queries the database at near enough the time of sending but I expect that the weekly list is generated then added to the email which is then sent at a specific time which of course could be mins, hours or even days after it was first generated.

I thought of that but I would expect the list to catch up the following week, it doesn't

I run 4 Pocket Queries to cover quite a large area but each one overlaping slightly with it's neighbour. There's always caches that don't crop up in the PQ's so I always end up having to check the area that I'm traveling to to go caching just to make sure there's none missed out. I've always wondered why this happened.
