Update: Recently Viewed Caches list (Bye bye confidentiality) My girlfriend and I, we both use our GC team account. As a present for her birthday next week, I had prepared a one day surprise trip to our favourite vacation resort in the highlands. In preparation, I have also been looking for cool and promising cache listings at the planned destination. Now, after the recent site update, this morning she was able to foresee the whole thing, thanks to the new Recently Viewed Caches list. In almost six years of Geocaching, we have not been affronted with such an insensitive and indiscretionary functional extension. This situation is unbearable for both of us. So our request is to retract that shady memory feature or at least make it optional within the users' account preferences Kind regards from Germany, Gero & Jutta (Team drkurt)

Hi folks, I've got a few questions regarding the structure of the trackables' IDs. As far as I know, there are few very old GeoCoins with a 5-digit ID (e.g. 12345) and old TravelBugs up to 2006 with 6-digit ID (e.g. 543210). The new TBs seem to feature a quasi-random combination of 6 letters and numbers, whereas the current GeoCoins' IDs consist of a 2-letter prefix (e.g. "KS" for "Kansas Sunshine Microcoin" or "PC" for "Personal Coin" e.t.c.), followed by a quasi-random combination of the remaining 4 letters and numbers. My questions are: 1) Does anybody know if there is or where to find a list of these 2-letter GeoCoin prefixes? 2) For the time being and for various reasons, I'm particularly interested in IDs starting with "GF" or "BS". Does anybody know or remember whether these two prefixes have already been allocated to a series of any kind of Trackable? 3) Are there certain groups of these 2-letter prefixes that have been exclusively assigned to or reserved for TravelBugs only? Thanks a lot in advance for any helpful information! I've browsed the forums but didn't find a matching answer so far. I you know or come accross any other reference, please let me know.
