+mesillywoohoo Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 how do people know when new cache's have been posted? I'm very new and I found a perfect cache place that is currently untapped. When it's all placed and my listing has been reviewed. Will it just show up when people search their area? I'm not sure how that part of it works? Quote Link to comment
+mesillywoohoo Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I meant to post this in Getting Started! I'm so sorry! If someone could move it that would be great Quote Link to comment
aniyn Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Premium members usually opt to get emailed with new cache listings. Standard members just have to check to see if something new has been published. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 As requested by the OP, I'm moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the Getting Started forum. Quote Link to comment

Also thank you to Keystone for moving this! I'm sorry again Quote Link to comment
+benderoos Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you click on "Your Profile", there is a selection to see new listings in your area. You don't even need a Premium membership for this. Premium members do get the option of having every new cache within a selected range of their house e-mailed to them when they are listed. That way they have a better chance of a FTF. Lol, speaking of that, I have that option set, and check my e-mail every few hours. 2 nights ago, I got an e-mail for one that was posted at about 10 pm. By 11 pm when I checked my e-mail it had already been found. Quote Link to comment
+TXHooligans Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 i have never clicked on the new in this state link before... why is the distance and bearing collums empty? is that a config option or something? Quote Link to comment

New is listed in date order, newest first -after the Events!- if you want to get distance from home you need to do another search -ie a Pocket Query. A PQ will give you distance from home, so long as you have set some Home coordinates. (If you set up a PQ, but don't check 'day to run' it will give you the caches, but won't run the PQ to be sent to you. I have one to show caches placed during the last week, which will give a preview of those caches. I can see what has been published recently.) Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) how do people know when new cache's have been posted? I'm very new and I found a perfect cache place that is currently untapped. When it's all placed and my listing has been reviewed. Will it just show up when people search their area? I'm not sure how that part of it works? There are several ways. It will show up on area searches with a "new" next to it. Premium members can receive instant notification of published caches. Groundspeak sends out an optional weekly mailer that lists all new caches in your area (available to premium and non premium members) When doing a search by state/country/province, the caches are listed in order from newest to oldest with the newest at the top. Premium members can run a pocket query requesting only caches placed in the last week. Edited August 20, 2010 by briansnat Quote Link to comment
+TXHooligans Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Thats how I know that its really not workong. In pocket queries, as you mentioned, it is filled out. On the web page, it is not. Beimg a premoum member id think it would know that and fill out those fields. As it is it kinda looks like something is broken. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Are you using the "Search Options" Search for nearest geocaches from your home coordinates (filter out finds). part? That fills in how far away. Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Also, when your own cache gets published you will get an email saying so. Quote Link to comment
