State where caches are hidden when viewing a Friend's Finds

[+salts&marbles]

We used to be able to see the "State Name" where a cache is hidden, when viewing a Friend's list of Finds.  We can only see the Distance in miles from our location now, which is not very useful.  We live in an area where we can geocache in 5 states, so it is very useful to see which state our Friends have geocached in their recent outings.  That helps us to plan where we want to go geocaching in our next outing.

Use this link and insert your friend's name where the "<user>" is.  Substitute any spaces with a + (for example, if your name had spaces and was "salts & marbles", you would fill in salts+&+marbles)

Hope this helps.

The link provided by @GeoElmo6000 is a temporary fix; it provides the old search results when looking at yourown or another's find list. As such, it gives us the old familiar resul;ts, whcih many of us used on a daily basis!  It could go away at any time.

 

For more info on this and other recent changes, see this thread in the Release Notes section of the forum:

Thank you to CAVinoGal for linking to the active Release Notes thread.  People who miss the State/Province designation in the search results should post about that in the Release Notes thread.  Meanwhile, I am closing this duplicate thread.
