+Plasma Boy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have a caching buddy (PM) who I cache with a lot, but we also cache separately. When we get together now to pick cache locations, we end up with sort of a baseball card exchange. I suggest one area, he says got it. He suggests an area and I say got it. Is there any way for us to merge our cache PQs (just for statistical purposes) so that our common unfond caches could be displayed? If not this might be a feature that could be useful to cachers. If you think this is an assinine request, just ignore this thread. If there is a way already (GSAK ?)existing, then I would be interested? Quote Link to comment

Well to conform to the GC agreement, I guess I will have to wait around until GC gets around to making this feature available. Quote Link to comment
+kwcahart Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well personally I don't see where another PM would be a "third party". So, if I want to I'll do it anyway if it is another Premium Member. If the powers that be would provide the option "not found by "user name"" when running a PQ then we wouldn't have to worry about it. And yes, I have provided the same feedback on the feedback channel. Quote Link to comment
