+TheDobbins Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I had a quick search but couldn't see this: I would love to be able to search for friends' DNFs. I know we can search for caches that they have found - but it would be good to see those they haven't so we can organise group days out to include these too. Sure there would be other benefits, but this is just one! Any thoughts? Link to comment
+Steve&GeoCarolyn Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I would love this too! Link to comment
+benh57 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yes, please. I'd love to be able to follow all my friends' logs in an RSS feed as well. Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm not sure if I would actually look at my friend's DNFs (and of course laugh out loud), but the ability to do so would certainly be an enhancement to the now less than useful friends list. Of course there would need to be a menu of features we are not willing to share via our friends lists, but I am proud of my DNFs at least. Link to comment
+mfamilee Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I like this idea. Maybe just because I'm nosy curious. Link to comment
+Puppy Dawg Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Great idea, let's see it happen. Hmm...Next release should come late this month. Link to comment
+TheDobbins Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Great idea, let's see it happen. Hmm...Next release should come late this month. Lol - I'm guessing this was tongue-in-cheek! Link to comment
knowschad Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yeah! Then, instead of simply comparing number of finds, we can also begin comparing number of DNFs!!! Its hard enough nowdays to get some people to log their DNFs. Link to comment
+TheDobbins Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hmm - who bothers comparing finds anyway!? Surely it's all about the personal challenge?! Just being able to search/see DNFs for friends for the reason I said would be an added benefit. Link to comment
+Allanon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 No. This would be a waste of resources. Why? 1. Not everyone logs DNFs, and more importantly... 2. What's the difference between a DNF and any other 'not found'? The person you are going with will obviously know if they have looked for a cache or have and had a DNF. Why do you need something on the website? Just talk it over. Link to comment

Why do you need something on the website? Just talk it over. Allanon - you certainly come across fairly brusque! "No" -- to what particular question!?! Absolutely entitled to your own opinion - but I don't feel that because some people don't record DNFs in the same way others record DNFs that this shouldn't be a feature. In the same way that it doesn't do anything for you, doesn't mean it would be a "waste of resources" if other people have already expressed an interest in such a feature and thus would gain benefit. As for #2 - I gave one example, there would be others. In my example, I could see their DNFs and suggest a meet up. In your example we would have to discuss all DNFs. If they were a high-numbers cacher then your solution wouldn't fit my problem. In any circumstance - my request/suggestion is ultra-low priority - but would have value. Link to comment
+Allanon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 In brief, your suggestion was "I would love to be able to search for friends' DNFs", that is what I was saying 'no' to. I then backed that up with additional comments about why I didn't think what you were suggesting would work. Link to comment

I then backed that up with additional comments about why I didn't think what you were suggesting would work. Understood - but your point doesn't prove it would be a waste of resources, it purely shows me that it's not an option you would use - which is fine. It's good to hear other points of view though. Like I say, it's a low priority request, but a valid one nonetheless. Link to comment
+MYater Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Like I say, it's a low priority request, but a valid one nonetheless. I think this has great potential if it is assiciated with the underused "Friends" function. Other than that, I think that if I don't want everybody knowing how good (smileys) or bad (frownies) I am doing then I should have the option to let them know how I am doing. Make it optional and/or associated it with the friends function. MYater Link to comment

My intention would be that this would be used in conjunction with friends function only. I personally wouldn't mind people seeing my DNFs as I don't think this leads to valid judgement, however, I can fully see why people wouldn't want their own DNFs showing up if this is a worry to them.
