+DarkZen Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 An example, I have a cache 'Thunder Rolls' (GC2K879) that I'm not getting notifications on. I've tried everything I could think of but can't fix this. I've even posted a test smiley to be sure - and I didn't get the notification. To help with the elimination, I've tried the following: Checked that I'm viewing the right email addy. Made sure the appropriate boxes were checked in the Instant Notification Service form. Any help appreciated. Also (non-related) when I read the forums, responses to the OP are truncated (screen capture). Is this new or have I inadvertently changed the way I view the forum responses. Again, help please. Quote Link to comment

As for not getting your notifications... Sorry, don't know the answer. MrsB Quote Link to comment

+docsigma Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have the same problem of not receiving notifications for caches I own. I took care of this by adding all of the caches I own to their own bookmark list, and setting up that bookmark list to email me. It's more of a bandaid than a solution, but it works...

Thanks for offering up this solution. I too have not received any email notifications since the geocaching.com's last upgrade. I NEED these notifications to manage a challenge cache I have and to maintain my others. I'm gettin NO notifications on my caches - zip - zilch - nada since mid-December. If my caches had problems, I've been completely oblivious. I don't use g-mail and have been receiving emails on watched caches, etc. just fine. Is there a fix in the works for this?!!!

+kywaterfowler Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I was having the problem and it ended up being Gmails spam grabber. I added a filter for the email account that Groundspeak uses to send the notifications, and that fixed it. So check your spam folder and add the email address to a whitelist:) Edited January 7, 2011 by kywaterfowler Quote Link to comment

I need someone to walk me thru this. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment

After reading that (earlier) I added it to my contact list. Did a test log on one of my caches and still nothing. Later, I put my caches on bookmark list with instructions to notify when logged - did another test log and BINGO that worked great. I'm either missing something or ?? Either way, at least I now have a way to receive emails when my caches are logged. Quote Link to comment
