+jen04976 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Can Anyone tell me how to be alerted of new caches in your area, or at all? I cant figure out how to see when new caches are placed!! Quote Link to comment

+GeoBlank Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Warning - you will get in a habbit of dropping whatever you are doing and running out to get the new cache listing. Adivce - Keep one alert with a tight radius and another with a larger radius. I was in a meeting a few weeks ago when my close proximity to work alert went off. I excused myself from the room, ran down the road, nabbed the FTF (met a couple other caches a few seconds behind me), and then got back into the meeting before it was over. Someone who knows me asked if I had to run out and get a new cache... Quote Link to comment

+BBrown94 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Jen go to notification and add them. This is on the profile page Quote Link to comment
+BBrown94 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I have moved twice and since first move have not got notifications. Since recent move I have tried everything I know to get notifications but am not getting. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I have moved twice and since first move have not got notifications. Since recent move I have tried everything I know to get notifications but am not getting. Can anyone help? I sent you a Message from your profile page just now (hope you don't mind). See if you receive it. If not, it could be a problem due to some email setting with your ISP (such as whitelist/blacklist). It's probably fine, but who knows. Whenever my parents change anything (unplug the modem, move 2 apartments over, change PCs, most anything at all), emails from ME (and only me) shut off. What fun, right? They have to contact their ISP to get me "whitelisted" again. Maybe a Message test will help narrow it down -- but you might only need to do a little modification of your "home coordinates" or the Cache search distance.

+BBrown94 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks kunarion. I did not get your response on my e-mail but did get a notification from Groundspeak that you had replied. So on hold with ISP as I type Quote Link to comment
+BBrown94 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I talked to my ISP and after adjusting I did get a message but not from you kunarion. Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) I talked to my ISP and after adjusting I did get a message but not from you kunarion. I noticed I got no "copy" when I messaged you. Normally when I send a member email, I get a copy of it. My message evaporated. That's strange. I have been getting cache notifications, though. [EDIT] I see evidence of a missing message from Groundspeak. Yesterday, someone moved one of my Travel Bugs, and someone found one of my caches. I only got the email about the Travel Bug. Maybe there's a problem with Groundspeak's mail servers. If so, it might clear up in a few days. Edited September 4, 2011 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+BBrown94 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I seem to be getting something now. Could you try e-mailing me now and we shall see. Thanks for all your help Bob Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I seem to be getting something now. Could you try e-mailing me now and we shall see. Thanks for all your help Bob I've sent "Message Test 2". The confirmation screen comes up showing the message, but my email doesn't get the copy (so it was likely not sent to you, either). Something's broken today. When my parents have email issues, I always recommnd they send one to themselves, so they know at least it's fine on their end. Groundspeak doesn't have that function. I'm heading over to Feedback to post a little idea. Quote Link to comment
