+Hemorrhage Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I recently purchased an activated coin. The original owner sent me an adoption email, but when I click on the link I am redirected to an error page. This is the error page I am redirected to: http://www.geocaching.com/error/500.htm I have also tried going to www.geocaching.com/adopt/ to set up a new adoption request but this too redirects me to the error page. Any help? Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Sounds like Groundspeak may be having some issues at the moment? Try contacting them via the links at the bottom of the home page (Contact, Email Support) Quote Link to comment
+Serchnsoul Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 They are aware of the problem and according to the feedback site it's in for review. I also have been having this issue. Quote Link to comment
+Serchnsoul Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The adoption links have been fixed as of yesterday's hotfix! Quote Link to comment
+Hemorrhage Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yup the email link worked Quote Link to comment
+SkipHerr Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I have been gifted a geocoin (TBXWCF) and the adoption went smoothly enough, but I don't receive any emails when it is logged and the watch it option is unavailable. I also can't seem to find any way editing anything other than the coin page. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment

I have found that I don't receive emails when someone "dips" any of my coins in a cache, but I do receive emails when the coin is dropped off or picked up. If someone has your coin and is having it simply visit other caches and not actually dropping it off, I don't think you will get any notifications. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I have been gifted a geocoin (TBXWCF) and the adoption went smoothly enough, but I don't receive any emails when it is logged and the watch it option is unavailable. I also can't seem to find any way editing anything other than the coin page. Suggestions? Once flo.de finally drops it into a cache and leaves it there you will get a notification. As Hemorrhage has stated, you don't get email notifications for "visit" logs. What did you want to edit other than the coin's page details? You can edit them and change the name of the coin if you want. Please don't delete any of the logs on any geocoins - they are part of a geocoin's history and also that of any cachers who helped it along the way. MrsB Quote Link to comment
