+TheAlabamaRambler Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Anyone else having trouble accepting an adoption from the link in the email? When someone enters an adoption request at geocaching.com/adopt the person being invited to adopt the cache gets an email with a link asking them to confirm their acceptance. I get this error when I go to that link... http://www.geocaching.com/error/500.htm Edited August 18, 2011 by TheAlabamaRambler Link to comment

+DadOf6Furrballs Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Yes. Same here. But there's no sense screaming about it. The world won't come to an end if we can't adopt a cache in the next 24 hours while they find and fix the problem. Link to comment
+tumbleweed2 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I can't even get it to let me send out the adoption request. Hope it gets fixed soon. Link to comment

The world won't come to an end if we can't adopt a cache in the next 24 hours while they find and fix the problem. Can we scream now ? 24 hours and still not working and how do you know the world won't come to an end if we can't adopt a cache or geocoin? Q: Does silence about an issue solve it faster? A: NO ! By the way, this post is just to keep this topic in sight.......maybe someone who can fix the issue will see it and get the function working. Link to comment

Listings is one thing but ownership of property is another. I agree with you about the geocoins. I'm a collector too. I used to release some, but they just end up missing or being held for an unreasonable amount of time. It's not a bad idea to only allow PM's to adopt listings, and as far as I am concerned my ammo cans and log books are my property, and not abandonded property because I hid them in the woods for others to find.

Pup Patrol Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Still waiting to see some sort of proof that the idiotic idea of making adoptions PMO has some validity. Otherwise, you're just over here trolling again. Link to comment

Otherwise, you're just over here trolling again. First off let me state that I am not required to respond to you, and in most cases I won't. But I have been searching the feedback to offer you some proof. All I came up with was this: http://feedback.geocaching.com/forums/75775-geocaching-com/suggestions/1906255-give-owners-a-better-way-to-protect-their-caches-t?ref=title I'm quite sure that you are better at searching the forums, ect than I am. I just remember seeing some posts on the subject. Maybe it was in the old feedback site? Link to comment

+imoutnabout Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 5:30 PM PST and still not working. Anyone else still having issues with this? Yes. Glad it's not just me. I was ready to pull my hair out...then I decided to look here and see if this is a problem across the board. Trying to adopt some geocoins...end up at an error message that isn't helpful at all.

+WalkingWood Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Still not working today (8-22-11)....is this still a problem for everyone?? 8-23....Still waiting.... Glad to see the site is back, and some of the issues are being fixed, but nada on the adoption function. Yes., I have exactly the same problem, someone wants me to adopt a Cache, he has completed the required form, I have recieved the E-mail and as soon as I log on and go to the page I get the Error 500 message others seem to be getting... No sign of a resolution yet... can the reviews do something though a back door if they are provided with evidence of the original owner wanting to proceed? Link to comment
+t4e Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 it will be fixed sometime Does the Hotfix include the adoption issue? Yes. any indication of when that might be? i see the banner is gone from the main site and i tried the adoption link sent to me in the email and still doesn't work I can't give you a precise time. We are meeting to go through all of the issues and prioritize them. We will then release hotfixes as dev work proceeds and warrants, with the most important things coming in the earlier waves.

+Found It!Where Next? Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hi I'm sure the team are working on this BUT I have just received an adoption email and the link is still not working. Just thought I would post to keep the topic live ..... and of course I'm being impatient as I would like to complete the adoption! Link to comment
+The Lambs @ 9 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 We tried adopting a TB at 15.30 UK time and all we get is the error that everyone else is getting. Any news on the hotfix and when the adoption issue will be fixed? We need an adoption to be complete by the 25th August 2011 for an event. Link to comment
