+Birders Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 We have submitted half a dozen PQs in the last 5 days and have received nothing. Previously replies usually appeared within minutes, or at least on the same day... Anyone else experiencing problems or is it just us? Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Having no problems here. If you are repeating the same query regularly it will be sent to you latter in the day. Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Its worth clicking the PQ's aggrement again. Quote Link to comment
+Teasel Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Got three separate accounts feeding PQs into G:UK, but seen nothing from any of them for over 26hrs. Will try clicking the agreement again, but I suspect there's some problem with the GC.com server. Quote Link to comment

+The Hornet Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Interestingly I've recently set up 3 queries all going to an alternate e-mail address to try something out. This morning I checked and all 3 had run last night. 2 just came through to my regular e-mail and the other one hasn't shown up. On checking the query details for the ones that did work, I noticed that the alternate e-mail I'd entered had disappeared and it was set to deliver to my regular address. Maybe if you're missing your PQ's you could check this. Quote Link to comment
+Birders Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 After submitting half a dozen or so requests during the last week I received one reply overnight. It contained details of 17 caches whereas I had asked for 500! Plainly there is a glitch somewhere. Quote Link to comment
+kbootb Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Got mine ok this week (that's Thursday, Friday and Saturday). But these have been active and unchanged for months. Is it only newly created or recently edited that are playing up? Also, I only have a maximum of one on a day. Perhaps people with more than one on a day are affected? Quote Link to comment
+Teasel Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Could be. All mine have been edited in the last week, and all five run every day and return nearly 500 caches each. They eventually arrived at 7am this morning, about 46hrs after they last ran. Hopefully it's just that editing them caused them to skip a day and I'll get them at 24hr intervals from now on.

+Birders Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Within seconds of my last posting I submitted a new request and it came back almost immediately. Another request submitted a little later is still pending. It could, of course, just be the usual Internet problems but we haven't experienced this much trouble in the past. Another little quirk... When we download a group of caches certain of those we have logged are omitted and our totals on GSAK are incorrect. This happens each time we download that a series covering those caches. However, if we download them individually and then load them all into GSAK the totals come our right and our logging details are all OK. Only one of the caches in question has been archived so why this occurs puzzles us! Quote Link to comment

+Bill D (wwh) Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I've received two out of five for yesterday and one out of four for today. Quote Link to comment
Lactodorum Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I'm having trouble as well. I've asked the reviewing community for their comments. If I learn anything useful I'll pass it on. Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 All 5 of mine turned up yesterday (Monday) but they came in two lots. I had 3 quite early in the (American) day about 09:00 here and the other 2 came about 12 hours later. Quote Link to comment

Another request submitted a little later is still pending. It could, of course, just be the usual Internet problems but we haven't experienced this much trouble in the past. I know people are having problems here but I have a question. How do you get a query to return almost immediately? It was my understanding that you can only get them to be sent on a day to day basis. It would be fantastic to make a query which comes immediately to your inbox. Simon from The Hokesters... Quote Link to comment

Generally if you create a new query it will be sent to you fairly quickly, that could be almost immediate to within say an hour dependant on how busy they are. Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 All seems to be working ok now (TOUCH WOOD). Have received all five of my queries scheduled for today Quote Link to comment

I must be doing something wrong (as usual ) Simon I had a problem a few weeks back, and I found that deleting the query and starting from scratch sorted it. The original query had nothing wrong with it but it just wouldn't work. All I can think of was that it had been edited a couple or so times, so perhaps it had confused geocaching.com Quote Link to comment

It was my understanding that you can only get them to be sent on a day to day basis. It would be fantastic to make a query which comes immediately to your inbox. Quote from the 'Pocket Query' page :- Due to the complexity of Pocket Queries, a dedicated machine processes them in batches throughout the day. Thee order they run is based on the last time the query ran last. Priority goes to new queries first, and the others run in the order of the oldest generated.

+Birders Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 <<I know people are having problems here but I have a question.

However, a couple of weeks ago when I first started downloading them they came back mega-fast. Now they don't work at all!! Can't win 'em all I guess. Quote Link to comment
