If you open GSAK and go to TOOLS>OPTIONS
In the 2nd field box from the top you have 4 boxes you can check off
Exact Match
Wild Card Match
Owner ID#
RegExMine is set to Owner ID# and there is a 6 digit number in the box.
Does anyone know where that # comes from or where I may have gotten it to type in?
I have not adjusted any settings in here since I started using GSAK years ago so I do not remember where I got that ID# from.
I vaguely remember someone telling me that the number is located in the URL address bar of every cache that you own. Apparently everyone has an internal GC.com ID# in addition to their handle name which would make sense.
If you open up a cache page to one of your TB’s and look at the URL address bar there is text at the end that says id=xxxxx
Similarly, it seems like that is where I had seen and retrieved my Owner ID# way back when I set up my GSAK settings. I have looked and looked this morning and I cannot find where in my profile this number exists? None of the text in the URL Address box resembles the number I have typed in that field box.
I looked in GSAK Help but it doesn’t say where you get this number from. It only gives reasons why you would choose certain options in that field box. I understand why Geocachers have an ID# but just don’t know where it is documented on GC.com and where to retrieve it.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about? :rolleyes:
