+Mrs.Hoagie Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi all, In the "old" days the geocacher's numeric ID by visiting their profile, and the ID was in the URL (address). But these days the URL is full of hex code; no numeric ID that I can find. Any ideas how to find the old Geocacher number? I know I used mine in GSAK, but I found it the old way. I need the IDs of other geocachers for a puzzle cache I'm working on (solving). Thanks! Mrs.Hoagie Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 If you hover over the "View forum posts" link on the profile, you can see the user ID in the URL (even if they have never posted in the forums). 5 Quote Link to comment
+Mrs.Hoagie Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Aha! I'll work on that. Thanks, Moun10Bike! (I can't believe I'm talking to THE Moun10Bike!) Thanks again! Quote Link to comment

I see you are User ID #41453. The "hover" method worked just fine for me. Could you describe where you're hovering, and what you're seeing in the URL indicator that pops up, so that we can help ease your frustration? Quote Link to comment
+the jester & granny Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I was told to go to their forum page and hover over their name, done that, nothing OK maybe this is what I need https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/profile/119145-Geo-Sarge/content/, so his number is 119145?

Yep. Just above, Moun10Bike said, "If you hover over the "View forum posts" link on the profile, you can see the user ID in the URL (even if they have never posted in the forums).", so you found it.

+Goldenwattle Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 It doesn't work for me on the Avast browser, so I tried firefox. It still didn't work. Oh well, not something I can imagining needing. 1 Quote Link to comment
+Upham Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I just tried it and when the little window opened I had to hover over the name in the window then it opened. Hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment
