+gravechaser Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 My PQs used to run along just fine and were bring in results on a weekly basis. Roughly 3 weeks ago my PQs stopped returning results- the emails didn't have an attachment but just the line saying my Query had no results. I don't know why as I'd not tinkered with anything. I've gone back in to play around with my PQ settings with little luck. I've double checked all my preferences on my queries and the only thing I can think of is perhaps my "placed during" choice needs tweaking. I had the top box called "none selected" marked as I wanted all active caches to be queried- regardless of when they were placed. I'll give my specific setting choices- maybe some of you can see what I'm doing wrong. I've looked this over so many times it is probably something small that I'm overlooking and another set or 5 of eyes will help? My main query is set at 150 caches of: 1. Any type 2. Any container 3. I haven't found, don't own and are available to all 4. Difficulty and Terrain are both greater than or equal to 1 5. Within Illinois 6. From my home coords 7. Radius of 30 miles 8. Placed during: am AGAIN trying the "between" 1 Jan 1995 to current week 9. Attributes- I've left those alone as I'm really not picky. Thanks to any of you who have valid suggestions. I post occasionally, search often, and haven't found anything that helps me with this particular problem. Quote Link to comment

+dfx Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 just tried a PQ with the exact same criteria as yours (except ontario instead of illinois). works for me. well, the preview does, i didn't let it run. Quote Link to comment
+gravechaser Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 I've played with my settings and took a preview of the query and it looked good but then when it ran...well...that's why I asked. Wow, I didn't think of Illinois conflicting with my home coords but it makes sense! I'll go change that and see if it will run correctly. I'll post here if it doesn't help. Hopefully it will and I really really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment
+gravechaser Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 I want to thank you, Jumpin' Jack! I looked specifically at nos. 5 & 6, changed them and I just got my query results and it worked PERFECTLY! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The home coordinates issue should have been fixed a while ago. Leave everything as a default, but then add things one by one. 30 mile radius from Home coordinates. How many results? (This will also show you if you have your home coordinates set correctly.) 30 mile radius from Home coordinates in Illinois. How many results? 30 mile radius from Home coordinates in Illinois and are available to all. How many now? 30 mile radius from Home coordinates in Illinois, are available to all and I haven't found. How many now? 30 mile radius from Home coordinates in Illinois, are available to all, I haven't found, and I don't own. How many now? Quote Link to comment
+humboldt flier Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Had nine come through empty in the past week. They were " along a route " variety. Some came through just fine and others empty. Hmmmmmmm maybe I'll get satisfaction Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 "come through empty" Did the preview not show results? Do you have them set to return 1,000 caches? Did the ones that returned "just fine" have less than 500 caches? PQs that have more than 500 caches must have their results downloaded from the geocaching.com/pocket page on the download tab instead of attached to the e-mail. Quote Link to comment

Yepper, " came through empty " All along a particular trail extending from Crystal Springs, Nevada to Tonopah, Nevada Broke the trail into four distinct segments. ( roughly 325 caches per segment ) The previews all came back sound, showing content. My weekend was spent doing " re-sends " which came back empty. Late Sunday I began to receive sporadic joy. To-day, Monday all is well with the universe. I am thinking mystical forces along the E.T. Trail Jimmie Jambed the P.Q. generator. To the OP ( original poster ) try again ... make sure you have accepted the agreement ... you might have stalled at that point Quote Link to comment
+humboldt flier Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I sent so many re-sends I probably used up my PQ quota for the next 400 years. Anyone got any to sell? lol Quote Link to comment
+humboldt flier Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Ooooooops, never mind the OP is a veteran PQ kind of person. Got this thread cornfused with one from a new player having troubles. Quote Link to comment
