Sorry to be dense but am I understanding those big red letters to mean that there is no IM any more for anyone on plentyoffish for ever as of now ?
Or is it coming back or am I doing something wrong.
Its just the message is a bit short with other information that suggests IM can be fixed.
Look forward to this being clarified - but in the meantime -

Thanks for all the good work btw.

For some reason my instant messaging stopped working. When I click on IM text or "On line Now" nothing happens. I'm no longer receiving IMs either. Pop-ups are not blocked and my mail settings include sending and receiving IMs. What am I doing worng. It used to work fine. So frustrating!!

How can I get and install Flash? It appears I don't have it and can't IM. This is probably such a basic question but I'm really stumped. Thanks for your help.

I can not Im anyone
All it says is "personX is online now" It used to say "IM personX now" Why is this? This has been like this for about a week. Other users have told me the smae thing. I have already tried the other things suggested on this site, and nothing changed. Do you have any other suggestions?

IM not offered anymore? Is it likely to return? It is by far the best feature of POF. It's a bit curious that this follows the introduction of the so called 'upgrade' facility. It seems we've all been downgraded!

Is there any particular reason as why IM has been discontinued? Will this be a temporary thing? Can you elaborate more?

^^^^ If you have just recently paid, then contact the admin here via message (links in the FAQ's at the top of the site help/suggestions forum) and in the subject line of the message put something like "serious member upgrade refund request". I have no idea if he is allowing refunds but you can always try.

Good Luck

He has. See msg 2385. At THIS TIME there are no plans to bring it back. Many SUSPECT it will be brought back as a benefit for the paid members but we are all JUST GUESSING on that. The official info from the owner is that it isnt coming back.

No it isn't. There is a good link to an explanation a few posts back. Just scroll back to Cowboy's message with the link to the owners answers and your questions will be answered.
