New cache notification

[+RichKlink]

Hello lovely Cachers!

 

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but there's so many topics and posts to search!!

 

Basically, I moved 20-odd miles away, updated my home location on the site and on my profile but I still receive new cache notifications by email for my old home location.

 

Imagine when you get a notification of a new cache, it's only 3 miles away it says in the email, your heart races - an FTF!!! You put your lovingly warm freshly cooked dinner down, cancel you friend coming over (yeah - you know what I mean) but it's actually 23 miles away! Noooooooooooooo!!!! LOL!!

 

Does anyone know how I can change this so it reports from my actual new home location? I changed it months ago.

 

I hope you can help, these false alarms of close caches is doing no good for my sanity!! :0)

Your notifications are not based on your home coordinates, but by coordinates you had entered in at one time here:

If you go there, you can edit your notification settings to center at the coords of your kitchen.

Yup -- what the robot said.

 

I go through this every couple of years when the Army moves us. I learned to name my notifications after the new home location (e.g., New Charlottesville Event, New Montgomery Puzzle, New El Paso Letterbox) so it helps me remember to update in time for the next move.

I do the same (naming the notifications) but just because I have three distinct areas I usually cache in (and don't want to miss remote, mountain top FTF possibilities) which covers 80 km each. Then I have text notifications for anything within about 15 km of home which is about the furthest I can go before any chance of an FTF is possible.
