+trainlove Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I think it would be a good idea to have checkmarks show up on listiings of travel bugs for the bugs that a logged in person has handled. for example if I look at a persons profile and look at the bugs he owns, I do not see a checkmark next to any of his bugs that I have handled. This is an important feature since some bugs have stupid names like (USA geocoin) and I have handled 5 of those, but in order to know if a particular one had been handled by me i have to search it's log. And when it comes to TB's themselves, I have handled so many that I would have to make a list of their owners so that when I'm at an event and meet someone, I can say that I had handled one of their bugs. It was only after an event that I had checked my own profileof TB's and geocoins and made a list of their owners and have discovered that I have met many of them at events. I do make such a list of CACHE owners, but only for those owners that I have visited two or more of their caches. Being a small world, fully 110 of the 200 caches that I have visited were owned by only a total of 32 people., the remaining 90 caches were either one hit wonders or I have yet to visit another of their caches.

+WascoZooKeeper Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I assume you mean that you want something for their TBs similar to the list of their caches, where a check mark shows up next to their caches that you've logged? While I personally don't see it as being nearly as useful for TBs as for caches, it's an interesting idea and I wouldn't think it would be very hard to implement. Link to comment

+ChapterhouseInc Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 seems logical. on Waymarking, there is no mark next to them stating that they are mine. maybe we can get them both, i haven't mentioned that on the Waymarking strings yet. Link to comment
+trainlove Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Another 'useful' thing that might be added if they decide to add this capability is to also have a checkmark next to the cache that a bug is n if the logged in person has visited that cache. I.e. If looking at a history of travel bugs that are in cache xyz, a few have been handled by me so there should be a checkmark next to the TB name. A few others are in the hands of other cachers right now. A few more are in geocaches that I have been to so there should be a checkmark next to those cache names. And the rest are in geocaches that I have not visited so no checkmark. I know that this is nit picking but when I have handled several hundred TB's and met many geocachers it might be nice to check out just how small a world this is and see if any of them have handled TB's that I have had. For example, recently at a local library, I ran into a cacher I knew and he mentioned that at a recent event we both attended he picked up a Yellow Jeep 4x4. I said that I knew someone who needs to log one of those but the guy who picked it up already placed it in a cache of that other guy since he also knew that it was sought for by him. Real small world huh. Link to comment
