+jtd18801 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I think that for a new Member feature we should be able to watch other members and be notified when they find a cache like with watching a cache to see if anyone in your area went caching. Link to comment
WH Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Jeremy has mentioned the possibility of creating "buddy lists" where you would receive an email notification when someone on your list logs a cache. Due to privacy concerns, both parties would have to consent to the arrangement and either one could terminate it. Link to comment
+prm Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Getting into this late, as usual. IMHO, this is a great idea. I'd love to watch what my Dad is up to (avid cacher, and retired so he has tons of time), and some of my other friends. The "both parties must agree" is pretty obviously needed. Cheers, Phil Link to comment
+tls11823 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 It's not as passive as a watch list, but you can keep an eye on the activity of others by looking them up, going to their profile, clicking User Stats and then All Cache Finds. You have to know the user ID of course. Link to comment
+Tharagleb Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Being the lazy person that I am I will just post without searching... how come you can look up another person's FINDS but not their DNFs? Is this, too, a privacy thing? Or is it because people would look up someone's DNFs and say "You couldn't find THAT cache, you stink." ? /just curious Link to comment
WH Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I imagine that if Jeremy ever implements a buddy list feaure, you would get an email anytime someone on your buddy list posts a log whether it be a find, dnf or note. Im just guessing at the moment. Link to comment

+Renegade Knight Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 In the days of old when we had stats, it was very easy to look at caching activity in your area, or look at what your friends were up to. Not quite like a buddy list but it was handy. Especially to see who newbies who had found geocaching. Since they tend to do all the caches that I have already done some time ago, they can have a lot of finds before I ever cross their tracks. The stats site made it so I could see who's new and check out a few logs and see if they were the "TNLN" type or told interesting stories worth the read. Link to comment
+martinp13 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 ROFL... the first answer I thought of was "because that's called stalking.". :D Link to comment
+geognerd Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Being the lazy person that I am I will just post without searching... how come you can look up another person's FINDS but not their DNFs? One cacher logged a DNF on one of the caches on my watchlist. He mentioned something along the lines that it was a bad caching day for him and to see his other posts. I wanted to see how icky his day was and what happened at other caches. I went to his profile and viewed all cache finds, not realizing that it wouldn't show DNFs. Being able to see another's DNFs would allow fellow cachers to follow one's geocaching trip for the day, good (found) or bad (not found). Link to comment
