Far more contentious was the whole issue of "read and not responded....... - what does it all mean?" Far more appropriate to remove the ability to see what people have done with email messages, and eliminate this particular insecurity which apparently keeps some people up at night.

There is NO way you can gauge a person's suitability to date just by a favs count alone, since we all have the ability to delete ourselves off another's list.

I do wish POF brings back the "Last 5 forums posts", though. The bad feedback was nowhere near the level of the favs count.

the whole issue of "read and not responded....... - what does it all mean?"

[Believe me, if you're for POF "forcing" us to respond to every message we get, POF users will run you out of town

It tells me alot to see what happened to the email I spend my time to compose. If she responds, then she is clear and considerate no mater what she decides. If she reads and no responce, she is ruder than I am looking for. If she deletes without even reading. She is a piece of crap no mater how sweet she makes herself out to be in her ad. There is a ton of good information smart people can glean from simply how considerate she is with others emails

Or the email you don’t spend time composing. What is time well-spent composing to you is not necessarily time well-spent to someone else. If you had read the many posting about responding to messages, you would see that very often, even well-crafted messages are ignored because a few bad apples have spoilt it for everyone by contesting a simple “No thanks but good luck” message. It happens to me once or twice a week when I explain to someone that "I don't think we're a good match."

I’m not trying to confront you in any way, but some people don’t respond to messages with spelling errors either. It doesn’t mean that you or she is a piece of crap, but that a filtering process is being applied. Also, sometimes people read something in a profile that is deal-breaker but they don’t want to have to explain it, and it’s simpler to not reply. I’m not excusing it, but your conclusions about a person’s merit are the result of faulty logic.

Actually, the negative feedback (regarding “Last 5 forums posts”) was probably way past the level of favs complaints.

I hardly think people were writing POF to get rid of seeing “Last 5 forums posts” just because it was simply there? I have had not “one” complaint about it all the time I’ve been on here.

If you were to take a quick poll

I'd like to see the forums posts feature back

Does POF allow html coding of the history URL in our profiles, Late?

No hogwash about searching via forums, that is the defense from the people that don't like the truth known about them.

One difference between the forum history link, and the links to last posts, is the history link takes you to page one, and where the particular peep is is up to you to go through the whole thread; the last posts generally took you to the actual post, or at least the page.

As I stated in the other thread, I'm glad the Favorites are gone. Good riddance. I don't really care either way about the "5 last posts." Doing a basic search since the favorites were taken away, I see a lot less wannabe underwear models on here. Some of them have deleted there accounts now they can't broadcast their popularity. I would think this would be good for women as well. Less provocatively dressed women attracting the pervs might mean they won't come here as much either.

(those that saw high counts and automatically assumed it equalled slut or player).

Mo...I don't care what they say ..I don't think you are a player.
