1. Did you set the PQ to run on a specific day? (No day = no PQ!)

 

2. Did you accept the EULA? If you need to accept/re-accept it, no PQ

 

3. Did you assign too many "and" statements in your PQ? That is, did you ask for caches that "you have found" and "have not found" and "are for members only" et cetera? That may narrow the search down too much to generate a PQ

At http://www.geocaching.com/pocket/ does it show that your query has run (last generated date/time) since you changed it? If not, did it already run today as a LOC file?

 

Instead of Yes/No answers, how about describing what you had, what you changed, when you changed it, what it looks like now, etc.

The other common problem with starting up on GPX format pocket query files is your e-mail host. From other forum topics, we know of many ISP's who run spam filters that result in blocking a pocket query e-mail that you *want* to receive, solely because the e-mail is flagged as a bulk e-mail with an attachment, or because the attachment contains a trigger word. For example, with one ISP a mention of the word "viagra" in someone's log, cache title or travel bug name, means the file won't get to you.

I may be a bit of a control freak, but scenarios like this are a huge part of the reason I run everything associated with my domain, from DNS all the way up to mail sorting and filtering. I would never have it any other way.

As for the email, Yahoo.com, Hotmail.com, and I think Juno to name a few have no filtering, unless you want it. They've both got SPAM filters, but they can be disabled/enabled at will. And I'm pretty sure you can also set it to deliver anything with the word "Geo" or "GPS" or "cache" to your inbox, even if it would otherwise be marked as spam.

 

Besides, those kinds of accounts are free. And you can access on *any* PC with an internet connection.

I can access my mail from any PC with an Internet connection. Or any HTML/WAP enabled cell phone with Internet access. Or any telephone, without Internet access. :D
