+Tradboy Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Is there an easy way to look up a username? For example, my name is Tradboy....I can't seem to find a link or page on geocaching.com that allows you to search for a user, to view their page. The only way I can do it is to search for caches found by that user, go to one of the caches, find their log, then go to their page.

+Markwell Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 That's the way, but there are some shortcuts. Try these URLs http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest_cache.asp?u=markwell Those are the caches I've placed. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest_cache.asp?ul=markwell Those are the caches I've found. Play around with it for a while and you'll get the idea. Markwell Chicago Geocaching Quote

How about if you shift-click on the username that appears above the avatar, on any forum posting. Maybe it's only for paid members, but it gives me a popup offering - View Users's Public Profile - Add User to my Contacts - Invite User to a Private Topic - View Recent Posts by User - Notify me of New Posts by User You really don't want to know about those "see next post" messages LDR Quote
+catcher24 Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 I tried it, and it worked for everyone on this thread. BTW, I didn't need to shift-click; a left mouse click did it. But, it also looks like everyone on the thread is a paid member, so I don't know if it will work for regular members.

But of course you are right. Shift-click will work for any machine or browser version. Right-click will work on any Windows machine but only some Macs. --- LDR. Quote
+rayt333 Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 It's back !!!! Before they changed the server for the forum there was left click option to see other's profile, then after the switch it was gone. Looks like it is back again, it sure is easier this way to contact another user. Quote
