Currently Tabs are; New, Communicating and Closed

We need one called; Inactive

Give us a setting and a button that allows us to move a Communicating contact to an Inactive contact.
The setting might allow an automatic move ... Maybe after a week, month (something we can set)

Reason being;
I don't necessarily want to close them out, because they may at some point become a paying EH and respond. But to get them out of the "Communicating" status I have no choice but to Close.

As it stands now the Communicating list keeps growing and growing. I then have to start paging the next active page as I scroll down the list for updates or to review.

Dream on...,It'll never happen. People then would actually see how few people are members and no one would join.

I think you are misreading this...

He wants a way for us to manually put people into that tab, instead of having them clutter up our "Communicating" tab.

This would be a manual filter, something we would do when we notice someone hasn't responded in weeks, and yet, we don't want to Close them, in case they come back some day.

I like the idea very much.

That way, we could have our "Communicating" tab truly be a tab that only contains our active Matches that we are talking to...

The system used to allow you to sort the "Communicating" matches by 'communicating stage' thus leaving the inactive ones towards the bottom of the page(es). I haven't been a subscribed member for over a year now and it may have since changed but you should give it a try.

There used to be the option to put a match on hold, which in effect serves the same purpose as is being suggested. Unfortunately being put on hold upset a lot of people and therefore seems to have been discontinued. To be fair to eH at times it can be difficult pleasing all the people, all the time!

Speaking of new features- I'd like to have a notes field where I can type whatever I want about that match, only seen by me. For example to indicate that we talked on the phone or she prefers email or whatever. It gets hard to keep track after a while, and this might cut down on accidentally ignoring someone.

Yeah, the Hold option was very poorly implemented.

The problem with that old Hold option, is that it banished the person put on Hold into a never-ending Purgatory.
You couldn't send them a message, you couldn't Nudge them, you couldn't IceBreaker them.
All you could do is Close them.

Also, it was a pretty insulting option for people too.
There were reasons that could be given as to why you were put on Hold. Most of them were like:
"I am busy right now, but in the future, I might be interested in this Match"
Sure, they could be really busy, blah blah blah, but everyone knew what it meant. It meant you were a 4th or 5th backup.

(Because you figure most people are talking to at least 2-3 people without others on Hold)

Now, there is nothing horribly wrong with this, heck, this IS a dating site, and perhaps being put on Hold is better than being Closed...
But I think it insulted too many members, and perhaps there were certain other members who used the option as the poor-mans "Close".

Now, perhaps having a "hidden" Hold mode, where you can filter people to it, but it doesn't TELL the other side that they are being put on Hold, maybe that would work better...

But just having a different tab to filter the unresponsive Matches would be fine with me!

If we could move into an inactive tab and if they do respond, there could be some automatic move back to communicating..
