+deCloetjes Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi, I'm trying to solve a puzzle cache and need some help. I have a link of an image hosted on the geocaching.com image server: "http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/7acb2a9e-a566-49f1-a2d1-d5e87c080257.png" Apparantly this image is located/linked to a specific cache listing, which contains further information on solving the puzzle. Is there a way I can link back to the originating cache listing using the url of the image (based on th guid)? Is there a link somewhere? Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment

+deCloetjes Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 It's found on this cache page: De schepenbrief van Bochaute Fantastic! That's it! Is it possible to enlighten me how you did that? Peter Quote Link to comment
nonaeroterraqueous Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I went to https://images.google.com/. Click the icon of the camera at the right end of the search box. I think this cannot be done on a smart phone. Paste the url of the image into the box, and hit enter. Somewhere down the page is a heading "Pages that include matching images," and the first link is from Geocaching.com. Using this feature has a nasty habit of bringing up porn, so if you don't want to see that in the future, you'll want to adjust the search settings in the upper right corner (a gear icon). There might be a more direct method than what I did, but this was a pretty easy way to do it. Quote Link to comment
nonaeroterraqueous Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Also, once the initial search is performed, you get a new search box at the top, pre-filled with the text, "schepenbrief van bochoute." If you add the specific site to this (site:geocaching.com) so that it reads, "schepenbrief van bochoute site:geocaching.com," then it will narrow the results to only web pages at Geocaching.com.
