+EMarkM Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hullo Folks! Been caching for years on-and-off, but one thing continues to puzzle us. Quite often we see FTF logs that indicate that a cacher "knew" that a new cache was about to be placed in a particular location, and that they even received an email the moment the cache got published. Is this something clever that folk are doing with Pocket Queries, or is there some other advanced search method that I have missed on the website so far? We'd love to be part of the FTF race, knowing that a new cache was about to be launched just around the corner! Many thanks in anticipation. EMarkM Team Quote Link to comment
+Team Exxodos Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hey, as a PM you can set up notifications, so you get an email just the moment a new cache gets published: http://www.geocaching.com/notify/default.aspx All the best M / Team Exxodos Quote Link to comment
+EMarkM Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 as a PM you can set up notifications, so you get an email just the moment a new cache gets published Many, many thanks for this - it's exactly what I had imagined! I've set up three notifications now, for "published" trads, unknowns and multis in our five mile radius - just what I needed. Now all I need to do is figure out how I could have found this out on my own. Happy Caching EMM Quote Link to comment
+Team Exxodos Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hey, no problem, took us a while, too, to figure it out. I still can't find any direct link other than in the profile listed under "Premium Features". Have fun! ;-) M / Team Exxodos Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 In addition to the Notifications, sometimes cachers will give their friends a heads-up if one of their caches is due to be published soon. It means they can sleep with their running shoes on, GPS clutched in their hand, all ready... MrsB Quote Link to comment
