Found a new link available when I sign in to my MAIL...right next to Viewed me

I viewed

These are the last users you viewed. We only record the first time you view a profile. If you viewed someone 6 months ago and again today, and you viewed over 30 profiles already they will never show up on this list.


Can't seem to figure out the basis of the data, since the profiles that I viewed this morning
aren't showing up....maybe still in 'Test' stage.

Anyone else try it out?

Yup, tried it out and like you, not sure how it bases its decision on who to show. Looking at who shows up, I'm sure that I didn't look at many of the ones it claims while I was logged in (I almost always look at profiles while logged out).

Regardless, it's an interesting new feature. A bit more information on how far back it goes and if the people drop off just like those who viewed you would be nice.

It is an odd feature, and I think the data is only partially correct. I cannot state with absolute certainty, because some user may have added, removed or changed their photo but don't remember viewing a couple of the profiles.

Some of them I've looked at long ago and some relatively recently.

=====

On a side note, the "Viewd Me" feature seems to be different now now.

The following 2 ROWS OF USERS, are users who viewed you at some point, and sorted by when they were last online


If memory serves correct this use be 1 row... 10 users, not 20 as is now.

It seems like that would have been simpler if a menu drop-down on the "Viewed Me" page let us choose how to view that page (order in which they viewed me; ordered by when viewer was last online.). Then it would be easy to add other sort orders, like distance; online-activity level of viewer (how much time they spend on PoF); communication-activity level of viewer (how much email they receive).

I see it. I also get 2 rows of guys who viewed me. I love it.

I already know who I click on though.

they seem to of changed the Who Viewed Me section too. Now they are all jumbled and not in order of who last viewed you. This is very confusing.

The ones I viewed make no sense. The first one it showed I viewed had to be from a couple of years ago. We actually met and it was a horrid experience, so I don't know why it would show him as the first person I viewed. It didn't show me anyone I viewed lately.

I really don't see the point of looking at who "I viewed" since I've already viewed them. Granted, my memory isn't all that great anymore, but I don't think I need the reminders.......

This list is a teaser, used to be only one row (15) and is now taking up more space in the matches area.. fine if the site is going to move to income off of paying customers. Basically it is worthless and could be used for advertising shampoo.
Marcus needs to give his paying customers more VALUE, dating edge, more and better services.

there are pictures on that list I've never viewed.. does that mean that some one else is using my account?

Hmmmm.... I wonder if my mail settings for letting others know I've viewed their profile or if I'm operating in stealth mode, impacts the filter that determines which profiles are to be included in this list of "I viewed".

Okay, I did a test, changed my mail settings to allow others to know I've viewed their profile, and then I looked at several profiles I've not seen before.

Then I go to the page "I viewed" and see several new profiles listed.

They are not displayed in the order I viewed them, most of them starting at the top left of the list, but following that is a mix of the newly viewed with some of the ones that were previously on the list.

Perhaps the order in which profiles are shown on this page is determined by when the viewed user was last on line, not when I viewed them.

Maybe some of you could perform similar experiments to corroborate.

OK I'm not crazy. My "I viewed" had people I don't recognize. Looks like it was a test and it failed.

It is there, showing only one person, who, ironically I have not viewed.

However, I am not complaining at all- this person looked a lot like someone I needed to call about a computer repair, and this jogged my memory. Thanks, I guess, admin.

That doesn't seem to be it either. I viewed 3 profiles and they do appear on the list
once I changed my settings to allow them to see I viewed, but the order they appear
in, is not the order that I viewed them in.

Then below, they appear again:

Users you viewed sorted by when they where last online...


Could be a good tool for people that have trouble remembering which profiles they
have looked at & maybe contacted. Some people might find it useful...but you can't be in stealth mode .

It would appear that is all a mute point as of today I see the "I viewed' feature is now gone. Testing... 1... 2... 3...

This mod is pointless, you know who you viewed.

The feature is back now, in the next row down from Inbox, Matches, Sent, etc.


Local events... Users You Viewed! Check out who viewed you! Women(Men) Who think you are HOT.

IMO it is a better location than previously, and the title is better.

It also appears that viewing a Hidden profile will not register on the Users I Viewed page...

Seems to be fragmented parts of a feature, but with so many gaps, it's usefulness is questionable.
Perhaps if it was combined with the Contacts page, then it would be of more value.
That way, people could see who they Viewed & had Contact with...jmo.
