Finding Other Geocachers

[j&e@northpark]

Is it possible to find a someone's profile if you know there name and how? Thanks

[McKenzie Clan]

If you know thier Geocaching name you can search by that. On the search page use "found by this user" search...

 

If you want to search by their real name ... not possible as far as I know.

To elaborate on McKenzie Clan's post, go to:

 

http://www.geocaching.com/seek

 

Then scroll down to the bottom to where they suggested you go. Type in the username and a list of their caches will follow. Click on the top one, find their most recent log, and click on their name from that. Kind of a round-about way to go about it, but it works.

Take the link above and insert the username where HOMER currently appears. I think that should work.

I don't think he's active anymore. This is what I get:

Just a server error, they happen occasionally...

If you see their name here in the forums on a post or at the bottom of the list of forums then just click on it and it will take you to their profile.

Or search for their name in the Forums Member Directory (click link at the top right of the page, next to the search button)

Or they happen a lot if you are talking about the week between Christmas and New Years. Got at least 20 of those last week.

If you're trying to find them on gc.com then they'll only show up if they have logged a find against a cache. search against my username - kasio - and you'll get nothing!

 

but if you search on the forums it'll re-direct you back to gc.com profile

True.

 

Same for a forum search.

 

kasio would show up in a forum search and you can find them that way.

 

But if they are not in the forums, or haven't logged you are SOL.

 

Unless you knew their numeric ID. If you know them email them and ask what their numeric ID is. You can find it by looking at your own profile and looking at the last numbers of the URL after the = sign.

I know, it's just the answer I got when I tried the search

 

They've been happening quite a bit recently, but we've had a lot of new members so things'll work out soon!
