Hi Aragorn_72,,
Thanks for writing in. The website was having difficulty keeping up with the correct numbers for each friend’s find count so we had this feature removed. We understand this was a feature that our users favored, but it isn't as useful if it's not working as best as it should.
Since this is a concept that affects all geocachers, I am going to suggest that you also post this in the Geocaching.com Web site forum regarding this specific topic:
http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=251383
Our development team keeps a close eye on that forum as well.

What is so difficult to show a users find count ?????
"SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM log WHERE user='$friendname' AND type='found' GROUP BY cache_id"
or something like that.
Every Update auf Groundspeak´s site produces new troubles the it people cannot handle.
I do not know why I pay for a premium membership when with each update of the site problems appear and functions disappear...
