Guest jeremy Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 I've been wanting to add the geocaching page for folks to show what caches they've found and hidden (and give folks the option to "opt out" of having one). Here are some features I'll be adding - 1. Show caches found and caches hidden. 2. Short description of yourself (5000 characters) 3. Photo upload capability (will shrink the image down to fit the page. Working on getting software to do this). 4. Some stats, like birthday, interests, hobbies, gps unit type. You can decide whether to answer or not. 5. Email me link - It will be a link to a page to send email. However, it will not give out your email address. The site will send an email for you. You will have the option to show your email address in the email to the individual if they wish to respond (otherwise they can do it through the site). Anything else? Quote Link to comment
Guest Peter Scholtz Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Brilliant! This will help a lot to create a sense of community. 6. Cachers web page. ------------------ Peter Scholtz www.biometrics.co.za Quote Link to comment

Guest Lazyboy Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Love it Jeremy. I put one up like that of myself with caches but I've wanted something like that on this site. Makes it fun. Especially since many of us have out of area caches planted. Quote Link to comment

Guest Iron Chef Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Maybe as part of the stats area, have a field for the persons home location if they choose to enter it. Not necessarily the coords, but like it is here on Groundspeak where you put in that you are from Aptos, CA or whatever. As for the rest, I can't wait :~) Great work Jeremey! ------------------ -Iron Chef _ _ _ _ _ _____ _ _ _ _ _ agefive.com/geocache/ ~ Fe-26 Lets Drive Fast and Eat Cheese! Quote Link to comment

Guest cache_ninja Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 url link? granted this is already on each cache page, but still... Quote Link to comment
Guest barefoot Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 This may be more appropriate for the "Geocaching.com Wish List" thread that surfaces on occasion, but I'd like to be able to tag/list caches that are next on my list to hunt. This is different than watching a cache which I only do for the cool ones I've found and/or placed something even cooler in -- I like to know when someone picks up one of my gifts! I don't need email notification about the ones I plan on hitting, but it would be nice to have a way to manage these future hunts other than making a folder full o' bookmarks under IE, Netscape, Opera, etc. Quote Link to comment
Guest WJJagfan Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 Given the usage agreement for Grounded,Inc. , I think I would personally pass on the idea of posting personal info on the website. But it isn't a bad idea for those who don't have a web page and want to intoduce themselves to others in their area. Quote Link to comment

Guest logscaler Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 Keep up the good work and troll hunting Jeremy. As for the next website spin off, would it be something like: Send photo, of GPS. to www.cachemate.com to see if we are compatable !!

Guest Markwell Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Place for favorite cache(s). If I see Bunkerdave's favorite caches, with the number he has logged, I'll know they're REALLY good! Quote Link to comment
Guest cache_ninja Posted July 15, 2001 Share Posted July 15, 2001 is this profile thing up yet/soon? i think it will be very useful...some guy just posted "plane crash cache 2", and i wanted to find his first one, luckily it was in the same state, but it would sure be nice to be able to click on someone and see all their caches etc...there are a few people who have really impressed me with their cache location choices, and it would be nice to see where all their caches are, rather than have to scroll through all the caches in one state for instance, and often people have caches in more than one state etc... looking forward to this feature, only for this reason(being able to see/click on all of someones caches)... thanks!! c/n Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremy Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 GET=_blank>http://www.geocaching.com/forum Basically post a message to the forum and click on the profile (the user's name). If you have info it will show up. I'll be adding caches found and caches hidden as well. Jeremy Quote Link to comment
Guest Yawningdog Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 How about the ability to watch more than 20 caches? I love to hear about what is happening at the ones I have already visited ~ Yawningdog Quote Link to comment
Guest Markwell Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 It's too bad that the profile has to be part of the forum instead of on the main Geocaching page. Not everyone wants to discuss Geocaching so not everyone looks in the forums. I'd rather see this info on another link from the main page - "Geocaching Community" or "Geocachers' Profiles" with a possibility to search based on a login name. I also know several people that use different logins for these boards than they do for posting caches. I also think that changing to a different forum without having the past information available in the same area is quite a loss. While there are some cool features to the new forum design, I wish that the existing forum data (complete with its 15,689 posts as of this morning) could be converted to the new system. It's a monumental task, but we would lose ready access to a lot of history and wisdom (I know they'd still be there, but I'd like them to be on the same site).

The whole idea is to link up the forums more with the site. The logs will have a profile button, as well as cache pages and whatnot. quote:I also think that changing to a different forum without having the past information available in the same area is quite a loss. [/b] We're working on this. We probably won't be able to get all the info (since, like you said, folks have different names here than on the site), but we'll do our best. Worst case is we close out the forums and keep it as a reference for folks. Ultimately this is the best way to go, however. I believe it will make the community stronger. Jeremy Quote Link to comment

Guest Clanggedin Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Doing a profile search by username wouldn't be all that difficult to do. It's just if Jeremy has the time to do it. I'm sure this feature will be added leter on.. Quote Link to comment

Guest Peter Scholtz Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 At this stage integration seems very important. The old forum information can't be lost. Converting many of them to FAQ's would be very valuable. I'm prepared to do the following topics which I started: 1. Panorama 2. What do you do for a living (there may be more ...) ------------------ Peter Scholtz www.biometrics.co.za Quote Link to comment
