Cacher name

Q. Why are there a user name and a caching name? which is which?

Due to the fact that Geocaching Australia is not the same site as the Groundspeak site, you have two usernames:

   * Your username on this site (your "Geocaching Australia username")
   * Your username on the Groundspeak site (your "Cacher name") 

For most people, your two usernames will be the same. For some people, your two usernames will be different. For example, username "Pesky!" has caching username "The GeoMonkeys"

To see what your usernames are, have a look at your cacher page. Follow the link under public profiles on your account page. Setting up your Cacher name

To set up your cacher name, please post a request set up your cacher name with the subject line "Please set up my cacher name as name."

Remember the names are case sensitive. myname is NOT the same as MyName We usually set them up within a day or so. You will see an error message when you make this request. That is normal.
