| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 1/28/2007 10:45:13 PM | | I can take it or leave it.... I haven't hit 20 people that viewed me yet, so right now, im indifferent | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 1/29/2007 3:11:01 AM | awesome new feature to view other viewers.. obviously it will change people's viewing behaviour, but it's useful, and it illustrates how amazingly busy POF is.. something like 70 people viewed my listing in the first couple days, I have a female friend who seems to get 38 every hour or two.. and as the feature evolves MANY people will opt out, and the initial spike of activity will smooth out..
it would be more useful if it shows repeat views as a new view.. and, we need to ability to block stalkers, which this function shows a bit of... if someone is spending 14 hours a day with your profile, maybe we can just opt out and disappear off that persons radar..
funny stuff, I can say one thing for sure, there's a lot of awesome people out there(that means you).. amazing to be able to interact with a handful through here... peace Cecil | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 1/29/2007 7:19:06 AM | | Since the site is very 'gender' oriented in the search settings, for those receiving many visitors or not logging in more than every few days, it would be nice to narrow the displayed visitors, to just those matching our gender preference. | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 1/29/2007 9:40:58 PM | I have switched mine off.
This new edition would be good if you had the option to deicide whether or not you wanted that person to know you have just viewed their profile. General browsing should not register as being viewed.
Admin, I think you are on the right track with this, but it needs to be more personalised.

Good come back... I guess there are ppl on POF who are a lot smarter than some of us shy ppl.. according to !somewhere: mssg #49
To be honest with you: when I first tried this site, I was too shy, to send messages to people. But I eventually got over it."
Good for him ... at least he got over it.... Geez, maybe that's why I'm still single, I haven't gotten over it...  | |

How does everyone feel about people being that nosey and able to see who viewed you? I know it's for your own benefit, I like the idea, but does it have fault?
JMO..personally, I think it's a good idea. In being that it has useages. I really dont think it has fault, it's a tool and the fault will only ever lie in the users hands and how they use it. You can always hide yourself from being seen if you wish, so really...it is a benefit to this site.
JMHO

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/2/2007 12:51:49 AM | | POF isn't the first website to add this feature, in fact they were a little slow in setting it up. I find it interesting because I do like to see the stats of who's checking me out. You might meet someone that way. | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/19/2007 6:58:28 PM | | I'm not really excited about this new feature. It was stated on the first page that the 'Viewed Me' page is just a list of people who've looked at your profile and opted not to contact you. It's like being silently rejected. I'm better off not knowing who's seen me. I've tried emailing people who've viewed me ,thinking they are shy, but that's never the case. Just read deleted or unread deleted. | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/19/2007 7:06:15 PM | It was stated on the first page that the 'Viewed Me' page is just a list of people who've looked at your profile and opted not to contact you this part
and opted not to contact you
is incorrect, they may contact you or they may not, there is no explicit wording from any of the moderators or admin that state they opted NOT to contact you - what owuld be the point of the feature then?
I've tried emailing people who've viewed me ,thinking they are shy, but that's never the case. Just read deleted or unread deleted. keep trying, it takes patience and perseverance - you may be pleasantly surprised some day! | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/19/2007 10:16:49 PM | Well, I'm just wondering how the system can tell you're clicking on someone's profile if you're NOT LOGGED-IN to your own?? I mean, I can go to any Internet cafe and check out POF profiles without EVER being logged-in, right??  | |
|
| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/19/2007 10:29:35 PM | yep ... lurk , leer , peek, all you want without being logged in - system won't know it's you ..
or
just turn off the feature in your mail settings, unless I'm missing your point? | |
|
| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/19/2007 11:32:07 PM | | ^^^^^I think you got my point Trap and I have that feature disabled. I was just wondering since it was never made clear how the system recognizes a user. Thanks. | |
|
| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/20/2007 3:58:11 PM | | i disabled mine too... but is it really disabled? i see people viewing me after i viewed them! can they see me?? LOL or is it a coincidence? HAH! | |
|
| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/20/2007 6:03:41 PM | | If the disable feature doesn't really work, then don't click on profiles while logged-in. Log out first and make sure you delete your Cache, Cookies, any Off-Line files, History, etc. Basically dump everything from your Browser, then check out profiles; problem solved. | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/21/2007 4:36:33 PM | Nope,It's not working.Don't matter if you disable it,She is right.Mine is disabled,Yet when I go view a profile,The person shoots back & views mine...Not working"perfectly"..Sorry. | |
|
| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 2/21/2007 4:55:03 PM | its working just fine.
I just looked at the viewing history that is recorded.
The way the system works if they show up as a match to you, you show up as a match to them. | |
|
| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 3/4/2007 5:41:48 AM | Just a quick note
When you show (can't remember exactly) "women on line" in sex personals, you left out the bit about "looking for men or looking for women". This does make a difference
Thanks

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 3/23/2007 4:47:10 AM | | I find it odd that not a single woman has ever viewed me... I'm guessing this means that most women have it turned off where it can show that they "viewed"... especially as I know that some have viewed me... | |

| FAQ- New POF Feature- Viewed ME Posted: 3/24/2007 1:53:39 AM | This is ridiculous... Who cares. Man there are alot of paranoid freaks on here. "What does it mean if someone viewed me ?" Who knows, who cares, maybe your photo is so damn vague they can't tell what you Are? After all most of the search engines only provide like 1" x1" photos and let's face it, there's some pretty lousy photographers out there. I veiw Guys, does that make me gay ? Say it to my face, while you're viewing my profile. Hopefully if they see something they like, be it anything, they'll E-Mail me and say so. As I do. Maybe I like the damn car in the background, WHO CARES. Do it. That's why you're here. Not to sit and hide behind the curtains in fear of absolutely nothing. The analogy of this being a Fish Pond becomes pretty clear as soon as you stick your toe in the water, they all scurry away hiding behind the rocks. I enjoy feedback regarding my profile be it critical or complimentary, as a whole or in part. I just don't see how you're supposed to find out if there's a connection if you don't first connect. DO IT! | |
