+irtheweasel Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think that it should be possible to save a list of our preferred fellow cachers under our profiles. The list would serve as a sort of buddy list or friends list. Currently, to find a specific person's stats one must first search for a cache either placed or found by that person and then click on their profile. With a buddy list conveniently located within one's own profile page, you could simply click on their name and be directed straight to their profile. The list could be even more sophisticated if next to each name it showed simply the number of finds and placed caches by that person. What does anyone else think? Link to comment
+ReadyOrNot Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think this is a great idea and could be implemented in tandom with Jeremy's new feature thread Feature Concept: The Social Find I too think it would be very useful to be able to quickly link to my geocaching buddies. The way I do it currently is to click on a recent cache I know they logged and click on their link from the logs. My memory keeps getting worse and worse though Link to comment
+Semper Questio Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 This has been brought up before in severla other threads and the standard reply is to make a browser bookmark of your friends' and family memebers' profiles, but I agree, this would be a nice feature and could lead into other features, all of which could (and should in my opinion) be premioum features. That being said, it has been mentioned in those same previous threads that TPTB have deemed this a viable feature, but it is not very high on thier priority list. Maybe with Jeremy's other idea, this will change. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 This would be separate to the friends list. The social log is more for people you met than friends (which I believe is a distinct difference). It comes down to permissions. The friends list feature has been backburnered but is so close to being implemented. So much to do. Link to comment
+Geovius Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I assume that friends list would be a member only feature or at least I would make it like that. Link to comment
