URLs, guids etc. (work in progress)
Sometimes you have to generate the URL for a cache page, profile, TB, log or whatever. The format of these is as follows (I have used our caches / lists etc. as examples):
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=72d0fa54-353b-4d8b-9b47-1109cee0beb4
The guid is 32 hexadecimal digits in the format 8-4-4-4-12.
On the top right of the cache page you can also click on the little arrow by the GC number and get the short reference for a cache page - in this case http://coord.info/GC11DZW, which then brings up the cache page with a URL of http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC11DZW.
If you click on view log you will also find a reference number for that log, e.g. GL8ED9FH with a little arrow to click on again saying http://coord.info/GL8ED9FH.
http://img.geocaching.com/cache/large/dd97e754-2b65-4ce0-8d6e-67d75afa0a7b.jpg is one I uploaded to the cache page of one of our caches and
http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/f86389f7-1687-4505-bd57-9d99f1f5640f.jpg is a photo I uploaded the other day for a log on a cache.
Note that photos come in different sizes. Sometimes the CO uses one size, but the info you require is hidden in a different sized version of the same photo.
