1francie Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I filled out the form to transfer a cache to a new cache owner and when i hit the 'submit' button nothing happened... Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I just adopted a cache from one account to another. 1. Logged on under the account that owns the cache, go to the adoption page www.Geocaching.com/adopt/ 2. enter the GC Code of the cache, click "Look Up" - site verifies your ownership 3. enter the username of the person you're sending the adoption offer to. Site looks up that name, it must be exactly a match for an registered user - or you may be asked to "Pick a User" if several names are similar, pick one, then click "Go" 4. add some text to the text pane, or not.. 5. click "Send Adoption Request" there is no "submit" button on this form Quote Link to comment
+Zoidrums Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 First advice with a website : if you have an problem, try with an other web explorer (IE, Chrome, Safari...) Quote Link to comment
Aamuhaamu Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I have the same problem and chancing from Explorer to Firefox doesn't help at all. What next? - Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
+CAVinoGal Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I have the same problem and chancing from Explorer to Firefox doesn't help at all. What next? - Thanks in advance. What problem is that? The OP stated they had an issue with a "submit", but as Isonzo Karst pointed out, there is no "submit" when adopting a cache. The owner sends a request to the cacher who is adopting, and the new owner accepts the adoption. Where is this process breaking down for you? Quote Link to comment
Aamuhaamu Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 So: When I'd like to transfer a cache to a new owner, there's a form to fill in. And in the bottom of the form there's that sending button named "Send adoption request" which is not active - even when everything filled in correctly. So I can fill in the form but I cannot send it anywhere. So the new owner cannot get any link / email either. That's the problem. Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Firefox, Windows Aamuhaamu, the image below shows an adoption request ready to send. When both the cache and the username have been confirmed, they show on the page as blue underlined text, links to cache and user profile. Then the Send Adoption Request button is live. Perhaps you're not confirming the user? I don't find the interface for that very intuitive. If you are correctly confirming both cache and user, then I think you'll need to email staff about this. Email from that page, Contact, and I'd called this an Account issue. Quote Link to comment
Aamuhaamu Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Many thanks for Isonzo: I had simply got a bit wrong spelled username from the new owner, so that's why the page didn't confim the username & the submit button didn't get activated. - Happy End! Quote Link to comment
