| How to hide my profile Posted: 8/28/2006 5:38:58 PM | Note: There is no current functionality on POF to hide your profile from a single individual.
To Hide your profile - Click on Edit Profile located on the menu bar at the top of the page. There, you will see these lines:
Edit More Registration Details like passwords HERE, To hide your profile from others click here Hiding your profile disables many things such as the Instant Messenger. To Un-Hide your profile, just revisit the same page (Edit Profile) and the wording will be reversed, like so:
Edit More Registration Details like passwords HERE, To unhide your profile from others click here Hiding your profile disables many things such as the Instant Messenger.PS. The above non-underlined words in blue are not clickable hyperlinks, you must visit your Edit Profile Page Here
Yes you will be able to use the forums.
NOTE: If you find that your profile still seems to be hidden, i.e. no picture appears in the forums under your postings, go back to your images page, and re-select a "main" image and then don't forget to click on the update button at the bottom of the page.
Additionally, when someone sets their account/profile to invisible: - They will not appear in any of the searches from the main site, whether you are a member or non-member.
- If you are only logged into the forums and NOT logged into your POF mail account
--> you will not see that person's profile by simply clicking on the View Profile link under their thumbnail picture, here in the forums.
- If you are however, logged into your mail account as well as the forums
--> then you will see their profile if you click on the View Profile link under their thumbnail picture, here in the forums.
- If the hidden person sends you an email/IM
--> you will see their profile

Note:
If for some odd reason you do not see your picture in the forums when posting, after you've "unhid" your profile - go to your IMAGES upload page - uncheck all images - then save the settings by clicking the button at the bottom of the page - recheck the images you want to show on your profile - recheck the image you want as your main - then save the settings, button at the bottom of the page

If you selected "Yes" to enable the "Viewed Me" Feature in your Mail Settings, it might override the 'Hidden Profile" Status for this Pageview only.
If you hid your Profile, enabled the "Viewed Me" Function in your "Mail Settings" and can subsequently be found in 'Searches', then I would venture forward and propose that it may very well "Unhide" your Profile in the same Stroke.
If anyone wants to test that and post the Results here, that would be appreciated.

| Hidden Profile Posted: 6/17/2007 8:37:35 PM | | That is correct. If you hide your profile, and check Yes to "VIEW ME", it actually changes the VIEW ME back to NO and you cannot be found in searches. | |

| How to hide my profile Posted: 7/1/2007 11:10:23 AM | You've successfully hidden your picture, all you now have to do is read post #2 in this thread to hide your profile from searches.
i.e.
Go to Edit Profile located on the menu bar at the top of the page. (<-- or click the underlined link )
After you've clicked on the above link, you see these lines:
Edit More Registration Details like passwords HERE, To hide your profile from others click here Hiding your profile disables many things such as the Instant Messenger.
do as the above suggests when you get to that page and you'll be fine. | |

| How to hide my profile Posted: 8/6/2007 1:00:26 AM | | when i clean out my "who loves me list" (people who have added me as their favorites), and then i check my profile - (view) it shows that 1 member has added me to their favorites, but when i check " who loves me there is no profile to look at. Does this mean that the member who added me to their favorites list has hidden their profile? How can i find out who this invisible member is, who has added me to their favs? | |

| How to hide my profile Posted: 8/9/2007 1:49:34 PM | | ok one more question with regards to this confusing feature: If my profile was hidden and I initiated contact with someone by sending them an email with a pic attached, were they able to see my profile? Keep in mind that this was the first and only attempt at contact between the two of us and I am not on any forums. My thought was that if I initiate contact, the other person can see my profile--even if hidden. Seems logical. But is that correct? | |

Yes - even if you didn't send a photo, they would still see your profile, with the exception of the images if they too were hidden. | |
|
| How to hide my profile Posted: 8/9/2007 3:03:46 PM | Ok but if my profile/pic was hidden but when I sent an email, I checked off the feature that allows the pic to be sent with the message, would the pic have been visible along with my profile when the person opened the message?
thanks. | |

| How to hide my profile Posted: 8/9/2007 4:35:38 PM | The Recipient of your E-Mail can see your Profile, and has no further Contacting Restrictions of any kind in regard to you whatsoever, Pics or no Pics.
Whether your Images are hidden or not, when you attach Pic(s) to an e-mail, the Recipient will receive exactly what you sent out.
What you have in your Sent Msg/Outbox is identical to what the Recipient has in his Inbox
The "Hidden" Profile Status has no Bearing on your E-Mailing, its nothing other than a Foxhole off the Search Radars.

| How to hide my profile Posted: 8/14/2007 3:24:05 PM | So my question is this:
I have hidden my profile. I know that I no longer come up in searches. But...can the people on my favorite list still view my profile and can they see when I was last online?
| |
|
| Hidden Profile Posted: 10/16/2007 5:17:59 AM | | When my profile is hidden, and someone tries to contact me, what message do they receive? Does it simply not work, or do they receive a "hidden profile" message? I'm wondering whether they can know that I have hidden my profile rather than deleting it entirely. Can they know that I am still on PoF, just temporaily hidden? Thanks. | |

| Hide from search engines Posted: 10/16/2007 5:43:50 AM | | I'd like to see a feature where you can change a Profile pref and hide your profile from search engines. So still searchable on PlentyOfFish for logged-in users, but not for a search on Google. Can we get this feature? | |
|
| Hide from search engines Posted: 10/16/2007 4:47:05 PM | | When your profile is hidden can others see that you have looked at their profile, do you show up in their veiwed me list | |
