+Mayor of Remsen Posted December 30, 2006 Posted December 30, 2006 Not sure if it has been mentioned yet or not, but i think it would be neat to keep track of my stats and compare them to my friend's stats. Kind of like how Netflix lets you add friends to a list to see what movies they have seen. It would be convenient to have a list of all my geocaching buddies on one page.

Many times it has been posted and requested. At one time it was a consideration by top frog. Never seen it happen.

+cmiyc Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 A social element to would be a cool addition. In addition to seeing my activity, I'd love to see my family's activity listed inline with mine. I'm long distance from them and geocaching is one of the ways we keep in touch. itsnotaboutthenumbbers doesn't really fit this mode either.

+tangboy Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I truly wish they would have a "Friends list" or a quick way to reference friends profile, finds, trackables etc instead of using the "Find member" type in their name etc. Just be able to add/delete friends on a list etc. New to the forums so haven't seen much mentioned about that yet.
+Raine Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Friends List is currently in the works.. So many lines of code, so little time! -Raine

One way is to get to the friends pages that you mention above and simply bookmark (Add to favorites) in your browser and then they are easy to get back to anytime you want.
bogleman Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 I have added cachers that I have met in the field section in my profile page. Just simple easy links. Nothing fancy, they just link to their profile and the cache we met at - nothing more/nothing less. Quick fix if you can't wait.
+zo kom je nog eens ergens.nl Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 i wish to have a friendslist just like my watchlist. and when it is also possible to set up a notify for logs they made, that would be more than wonderful!
+Lil Devil Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Friends List is currently in the works.. So many lines of code, so little time! Well if you'd stop doing silly things like eating and sleeping, you'd have more time to write code!
+ByrnedFish Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 hahaha. kind of funny that this post is at the top of the list. i just got a person into geocaching, and the first thing they asked me was "how do i add your profile to a friends list". im like, uh, i dont know, but i look in the forums, and what do u know, its at the top of the page. wow, waht a coinky dink
+BlueDeuce Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 How can I tell who's watching me? Sorry, just wanted to be the first to ask.
+Trucker Lee Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 How can I tell who's watching me? But a good question anyway. Is "Big Brother" going to be looking over our shoulders, wanting to tax us on our caches found and hidden? Perhaps, something like Yahoo Messenger, where to be added to a list, the other party has to accept you.
Keystone Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 How can I tell who's watching me? Sorry, just wanted to be the first to ask. Whenever the developers have posted in threads about this feature, they've assured everyone that the friends feature will be opt-in. You would have to accept a request before someone could add you to their friends list, or group.

+chris1254 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Just putting my 2 cents in. I think a buddy list would be great. Hope it shows up soon.

You would have to accept a request before someone could add you to their friends list, or group. I think a friends list would be great. But it really would have to be an opt in option, as I know of one male person who it is believed to have been following a female cachers movements. To be able to tell someone that they done something with their kids 2 years before hand is a scary thought, and it did happen.

Er, now you have got me worried Dave, could you possibly let us know more details, or email me privately? I don't like the sound of this, is it regarding a happening in our area??

To be able to tell someone that they done something with their kids 2 years before hand is a scary thought, and it did happen. There are absolutley no privacy fears whatsoever since 1. The information is readily available today 2. All the information put in GC logs, with the exception of "yes, I will be there" event notes is historical 3. Any information given, even in PM and chats, is done with the knowledge that it is accessible. "I know a friend who had a sister who..." urban legend stuff is getting old.

+dyerx4 Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 They need to add a simple "add to frineds list" then you have a list of friends, or fellow cachers that you can access what they have been up to. It would be quite simple to add this feature. Not sure why they haven't yet. If they want to make this a true "caching community" then this would be a great and easy addition.
+olvegrn Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I want something that will write me an email when my friends log caches so I can know that I can talk with them about the cache.
+mtn-man Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Bumping this topic in response to a new topic that was posted that I just closed.
Njones4 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Bumping this topic in response to a new topic that was posted that I just closed. Yup...I'm in complete agreement with a friends list.
crawil Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I've created my own so far by making a Firefox bookmark of "http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?ul=PlaceGeoNickHere". That will bring me to the list of their caches. It's a start.
