    Find number of caches with a certain amount of fave points

    Sure. The search page lets you set a minimum number of FPs, so if I set that to zero (and with no other filters set) I see there are 3,306,674 caches worldwide. If I then set the minimum number of FPs to 1, I get 2,247,891 caches. Taking the difference means there are 1,058,783 caches with no FPs. A similar method will get you the number with one FP (576,942), etc.

    Thank you! 

    What does a geocache need to have for YOU to give it a favourite point?

    I usually give fave point that make me bushwhack a little ways, and even better if it wading required. Other than that creative containers, bringing me to an awesome spot that I would other wise not know about, a well researched story in the cache page (epically if it is about a historical location in which the cache is placed). Also the comments left on my owned caches by the CO's of the cache I'm finding may make me more generous or less, in both my log and fave points.

    Maybe  I'm not getting it, and others feel differently, but if I needed image links to solve a mystery/puzzle cache, and they're kaput, I'd leave a NM and move on. 

    It's just a cache.    :)

    I couldn't find "image shack" in the list of Hosting Services.    Another option is directly to Geocaching.com.   

    By the site :  "All other images will be blocked to protect other players from advertising and other browser cookies."

    The image was not on the actual GC site.

    I guess I can't be the one who "saves" the cache...

    Hello, if you where to search for a mystery cache which picture links are broken. (Image shack photo) is it possible to find the missing photo, or is the cache toast? And if it is possible to find the image how can I do it?

    Searching caches by first letter of CO's username

    I'm currently doing a challenge in which I have to find geocaches with the owners usernames for every letter of the alphabet. E.G. the letter "W" could be like this W - CO's name Wet_Ground cache found by this user, "The Real Florida" . etc.

    Now I only have two letters left "V" and "Y" but I can't find a cacher in my are (around Lutz, Dade city, N Tampa, Port Richey, etc. area of FL) that's hid a cache. SO, is there a way to search for cache hid by a user with a specific first letter of their username?

    How to create new souvenir

    I simply use the tool "Paint" (coming with Windows) to add text. It's probably not the best software for sure but it works and we shouldn't forget that it is only a small picture and it must not be 100 % perfect - it can't be with this size.

     

    That is one reason why I don't matter with

    thanks that makes sense don't know why I didn't think of that...

    No need to apologize. We all stink at anything. :-) Add "width" to your image-tag (this img-thing):

    For example with 

    
<img width="40%" src="BILDLINK.jpg">

    the image appears only 40 % of the original size.

     

    I like to add this feature and tell in the description of the banner that cachers may change this number so that it fits in their profile. Everyone wants something different sometimes. :-)

    Thanks!

    Edit the page, and uncheck the box that says show the checker on the cache page. Easy!

     yeah that's what I thought two but I did not see the check box this time...

    Didn't have a pen.

    but in this 'instantly happening' world where caches are logged from phones, I thought I allowed enough time for a response.

    I very rarely log from a phone so my log probably would have been deleted in 24 hours and I am sure I'm the only one out there who logs their caches from a lap top or computer not a phone.

    On the other hand, if the possibility of fire is a ATTRACTIVE FEATURE of this cache, then let me know; I'm interested!

    on this cache its not a attractive  feature however I've found a cache where a it was.

    Is there a particular reason why you want to use glass?

    only because it stands a control burn better than plastic and I don't have to many metal caches but I see why it could be a bad Idea.
