+sloth96 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Howdy, I was attempting to send messages to some virtuals and earth caches I have not logged. But I need to send the answers. After typing the message the "Send Message" button did nothing. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+arisoft Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 When answering you have to do a trick When the Message center opens from the "Message this owner" link, do not write your message immediately. Instead, click the address bar once and press enter. It seems the same like reloading but it is not the same. Now you can write your message and send it without problems. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 In addition to the workaround suggested by arisoft, you could also try sending email to the owners of the virtuals and EarthCaches. 2 Quote Link to comment
+Veerle T Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I encountered the same issue, while attempting to send in answers to EarthCaches. I tried to use the "Message this Owner" link from the listing, as I usually do. The message didn't want to send. Also, there was not the possibility to add a picture to my message. I resolved my problem by first visiting the Owner's profile and there clicking the "Send Message" link. This way it worked just fine (and also the possibility to add a picture). 1 Quote Link to comment

+JRandJuju Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I can not send a message through the cache page. But if i send it through the profile page it goes fine. I tried clicking on send and checking the "press enter to send". Quote Link to comment
+RAHNNERGOTHUC Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I've been having the same problem for weeks now, on Microsoft Edge and Chrome. Appreciate the workaround/trick, but it needs to be fixed. 1 Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I have justv spent over an hour posting earthcache detailed replies which have not been sent. I used the geocaching website - not the app and used the message owner menu. This is most frustrating and i recommend the feature is disabled 1 Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Used the app the send earthcache answers while off line but they were not saved and transmitted. Is this the same bug as being discussed or is it offline app usage error. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Goldenwattle Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If I want to send a message I go to the geocacher's page and use send message there. The one on the cache page never works for me. Quote Link to comment
+RAHNNERGOTHUC Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I think the messages are working now...but I every time I send a message, I get an email saying I have a message from myself. So bizarre and not sure if what I send is going to the intended recipient. Quote Link to comment

+RAHNNERGOTHUC Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 You are correct! I didn't know that was even there and haven't changed it, but maybe it got set to default as part of an update. At least there is an explanation, so thanks for pointing it out! 1 Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 when working offline the message facility appears to be available. However after apparently 'sending' a message off line it never gets delivered. It is not saved until you are back online. Is this a bug -? Quote Link to comment
