+Team Finn Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Last Christmas I had the pleasure of exposing my brother to geocaching. He has since purchased a GPSR and cache hunting in his part of the country. The search feature I would like to see is What caches has another player found or hidden? It would be really neat to check on the progress of others! Dave We go until we get there..... Link to comment
+exConn Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Team Finn: The search feature I would like to see is _What caches has another player found or hidden?_ There are 2 ways you can do this: 1) If you are on a cache page, there is a "other caches hidden or found by this user" above the logs and to the left of the map. 2) You can manually type in the following (and change the username at the end) to get hidden and found links by user (Team Finn used as an example): Hidden: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest_cache.asp?u=Team+Finn Found: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest_cache.asp?ul=Team+Finn My way of using this is clicking to hidden and found links above then create a favorite/bookmark to each one. Whenever I want to search for someone, I use my favorite/bookmark and then just backspace and edit the username in the link at the top of my browser. I do agree however that it would be nice to see this on the search page... -exConn What is Project Virginia? Link to comment
+Team Finn Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 Thank Conn, I was aware of option no. 1 but not no. 2 That will help me be my brother's keeper.... Dave We go until we get there..... Link to comment
+Ttepee Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Also now you can go to the users profile and there is the found/hidden numbers and links right there. Link to comment
+Hawk-eye Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 How about this search ... when you go to the logs from the main page ... it would really be nice to see the results grouped by state/country ... would keep you from going blind trying to scan down the list for a particular state's name ... No biggie ... just a thought Link to comment
+rdw Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Go to the unofficial Geocaching Stats site and search logs by username. It's sometimes easier because it is arranged by most recent log date instead of the date the cache was placed. rdw Link to comment

I'm an old fart ... what can I say Link to comment
