+hukilaulau Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 it might seem like this belongs in another forum, but I really want to know if folks on the general forum would even want it... We can see a list of our own finds our own DNF's our own caches. other cachers' finds other cachers' hides Why not other cachers' DNF's? I would love to see what other people have to say about their DNF's. See if I share DNF's with other local cachers. Right now, as far as I'm aware, there's no way to track this information. Would anyone else be interested? Is there a specific reason why we can't do this? Link to comment
+hukilaulau Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Crud... i went and put it in the wrong forum anyway. meant to put it in the "geocaching topics" category... Edited February 9, 2008 by hukilaulau Link to comment
Keystone Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's somehow appropriate that you DNF'd the proper forum. Moving to the Geocaching.com website forum as a feature request. Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 True. We can see DNFs on a cache page, but not on a users list of caches. But, I don't see any reason that I should need to pull up anyone's profile, and see the list of their DNFs. I vote Nay. Link to comment
+UncleJimbo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 True. We can see DNFs on a cache page, but not on a users list of caches. But, I don't see any reason that I should need to pull up anyone's profile, and see the list of their DNFs. I vote Nay. I agree. It is bad enough that some users are already trying to out do each other with the most DNFs. If they showed up in the Profile, there would probably be even more users competing in this way.

Why would you need to pull up someone's profile and see someone's finds? Some people like to see what their friends are up to. Let those people have their fun. Definite yes. This would be a great feature. Link to comment
kablooey Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 DNF logs are usually more interesting reading that Found logs. Link to comment
+FunnyNose Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have almost 500 DNFs now. All My DNFs Link to comment
+baloo&bd Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You could say the same thing about their finds. Why would you need to pull up someone's profile and see someone's finds? You have a point, there really is no reason to see peoples find counts either. I also vote yes for dropping the find counts from being visible. Link to comment
+TheAprilFools Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I vote yes. Since the cacher did not have a problem letting us know they did not find the cache, I see no reason why they would object to counting them up and showing the total. Now there are those who object to counting of finds and those same arguments could apply to this, but since we are counting find logs why not count DNF's. Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Good idea. When I cache normally one of us logs first. Then the other looks at the first cachers profile to see quick list of all the logs we have to do and get to work. It would be handy to be able to see all logs in the profile instead of just on the cache page. Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) DNF as a stat count? You can't get stat details in a PQ, why would I have gc put it on their profile? gc.com please let me click on every cacher's profile page. so I can look for DNFs Edited April 16, 2008 by BlueDeuce Link to comment
+The Pathman Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Just ask, we will gladly tell you all about our DNF's Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well, how about a "show all logs by X user", just like what you can see for your own account. Oh, I know someone will shout "Privacy" but the information is all there in public already. Why not make it accessible more easily. Oh, I know. Costly extra work to write it in. That's a good reason.

I'm hoping that that will be a part of the "Friends" feature when it is fully implemented. Since being a "Friend" is opt-in rather than mandatory, privacy concerns shouldn't be an issue.

+the hermit crabs Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I would love to see what other people have to say about their DNF's. I'll show you mine if you show me yours (or even if you don't). Takes a little work to keep it up to date, but it's worth it. Link to comment
Ranger Fox Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 If you're crazy enough to look at my tracking coin's page (it takes 105 seconds to load), you can see every DNF I have had since August 2006 and find #620. Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'd like to be able to see DNF log entries as well. As others have said, they are often more interesting and entertaining than the find logs. I'd like to see the "write notes" logs also also. Displaying the DNF count? Yes. As long as you're showing someone's find count, show their DNF count, too. But personally, I'd rather have the find counts hidden unless the cacher is in your "friends list", then just put the Find/DNF count on their "Friend block". Link to comment
+Serrabou Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I would also like to be able to see other cahcer's DNFs. Someone gave me a hint on a cache and to reciprocate I wanted to search for ones he DNF that I found. Link to comment
+Driver Carries Cache Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hey... I catalog all my DNF stats on my profile page! DCC Link to comment
