HIDDEN PROFILE PROBLEMS: Post all concerns herePage 3 of 10    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

I e-mailed @ csr@pof.com and have gotten no reply as to how to "unhide" my profile.

That would be because there is no fix as of yet as per post #1 of this thread so there is nothing to tell you other than to re-read post #1.

You can always delete your profile and start a new one.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for a solution soon. I am only posting so I can easily track this thread. I can't criticize here... the site is free for me and I value the service. Thanks Marcus and all the great POF moderators!

I'm with you. I've used this site for over 6 years all on someone else's dime. It's been a free tool and cheap entertainment (forums) for me for a long time and other than a few little tiny glitches, it's been a reliable site. I understand the frustration some feel when things don't work exactly right, but good grief ~ it's not like we're talking a life/death situation here. No one is losing life/limb because the hide/unhide links aren't working. Just forget it and go about your business. It will get fixed, just like all the other little glitches over the years. Now let's all worry about world peace or something ~ that issue isn't going to be fixed any time soon. JMO

My profile still hidden no matter what I do...I'm still hoping they will go back to at least giving us the link to let us unhide profile -- on a manual basis, daily if necessary.

Also, can we re-d0 profile with the same user name? thanks...

Yes, if you delete this profile and then immediately create a new one, you should be able to recreate a new profile with your old name.

What would be the point of hiding my profile ? I am a paying member and find the thought bizarre ! If you find someone get off the site then.

I cant seem to "hide" my profile. It does not give me the option in the "edit profile" section.

Does anyone know is this also a problem, or are people just having problems with "unhiding" their problem

I'm curious if my profile is hidden and I look at someones profile will my pic show up on their users who have viewed you page or will I be looking anonymously?



Hiding your profile only removes you from the search engine.
To control if people can / can not tell if you've viewed their profile, go to mail settings. The option is there.

I am still unable to find my profile. Tried advanced search with my age and hometown. Tried username and got nothing there.

Went to help and to "How do I hide/unhide my profile?" The option to hide/unhide isn't there.

I copied and pasted your link above, and your profile came up



That works for both hidden and non-hidden profiles. The only way to check is to do a username search.

I met someone. He hid his profile and I hid mine to see if we were a "we".

I can't find me, so I get that I'm hidden. I can find his. Have I been dupped? Feeling like a dork now. We've had a great relationship so far. If his profile is hidden, I shouldn't be able to see it, right?

I just need some validation.

Thank you.



Do a username search. If his username shows up, his profile is not hidden.

Ok, so 6 weeks after the problem was communicated in the forums and after numerous emails from many users, why is the link still missing in the "edit profile" page? Why are profiles that can be unhidden being automatically hidden by the site on a NIGHTLY basis, thus requiring manual unhiding daily. What's the point of having a profile if the site is going to hide it on your behalf and not address the problem??

A dating website where you don't even show up in search results is pretty useless. To those who are saying it isn't a big deal and it's free...you aren't hidden, so yeah..it's probably not a big deal to you.

I host local parties so for me to create a new profile would mean that I would essentially have to start all over and get 20 people to sign up again so I can get the mass email out. What a hassle.
