I just noticed when looking at my list of PQs on gc.com that all of my queries for Saturday were mysteriously turned off..... _________________ Hmm... |

I've had a few that haven't shown up either. I think the new hamster is eating the PQs. _________________ Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. |

I wouldn't normally even notice if they were just not showing up, but when I went to run my all-finds query I noticed that the total number of queries being run on Saturdays (the summary at the bottom of the page) was suddenly 0 (down from 4 or 5). It's the first time I've seen that. _________________ Hmm... |

It has been more than 30 days since you last edited this query. To continue receiving this query next week you will need to reselect the days for it to run. This is an automatic housekeeping rule to speed up Pocket Query generation for everyone.
Here are the Pocket Query search results in the formats you requested.

| That shouldn't happen again. My understanding is that was an old "feature" of the site that accidentally got turned back on. |

I have found that sometimes I have to hit the "add to queue" button a few times to get it to take my request. It used to change to something like "added to queue" although I haven't seen that for quite some time now. _________________ Hmm... |

Sure. But once I click it the button grays out and I have to wait 7 more days. |

That's not the same as my experience then.
Often when I click it the page reloads but the button is still clickable. Often I have to click it a number of times before it actually will run.
I understand that it may take a while to generate sometimes, but I've tried clicking it just once and waiting but it never generates. Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes on the 5th try... _________________ Hmm... |

I've had good luck contacting groundspeak and having them fix it. Last time I just emailed Raine through the member email feature. |

| I've had trouble not with regular pocket queries but with the personal find PQ's. I often have to hit the button 50-60 up to a hundred times before it finally grays out and says it "took". That's not hitting the button quickly continually either. That's letting the computer think and then nothing happening. Grrrr! That has happened every time I have run a personal find pq ever since I started running them. Can't figure out if I'm actually doing something wrong! |

That's more like my experience only not 50-60+... _________________ Hmm... |

Just curious... What browser are you folks using? I've never seen this behavior (using FireFox 3.6 on a Mac) and never heard anyone else talking about it prior to this. _________________ "Hi, I'm Moe, or as the women know me - Hey! You in the bushes."
