Validating Geocaching.com Account

[admin]

HELP!

Before we headed out to our Picnic on the Tundra this morning, I changed our email account with geocaching.com as to not crash our regular account with the avalanche of emails.

Now, we’re unable to do anything because we’ve not recieved a validation code from geocaching.com.

Do we just need to wait a day?

We’ve not been recieving email from our watchilist our own caches for a couple weeks either. Anyone else with that problem or is it related to our current one?

Either your e-mail software or your ISP is blocking e-mail from geocaching.com. We had a similiar problem with Roadrunner some months ago which took weeks to straighten out. Shouldn’t your validation e-mail go to your new address? Or is that under the same ISP?

Searching the forums will lead to to the thread in which we all cursed Roadrunner for some time.

Best of Luck!

As a test, I just changed my e-mail address twice without validating inbetween and I got immediate validation e-mails at both of the addresses.

If it is indeed your ISP blocking the e-mail, just set up an account outside of your isp (hotmail, yahoo, etc) and change your geocaching profile to that address. You will get an immediate validation request.

This will enable you to receive e-mail until you can get your isp situation fixed.

There is also a link here to try to force the system to email another validation request.
