No more closing messages, either, from what I can see.

I'd really like to just close a person in whom I have no interest.
WOW!! NO more close reasons... I like that!!

We knew that was coming, since the aussie's don't have them either.

Wait; so what is the difference between archived and closed matches, then?

Okay I get it now.. It's basically place to store non-responsive matches that you would like to keep "open" but out of the way of new and communicating matches.

closed is closed.

Hmmm... But you can no longer just close a match? You have to archive them first and then close them? That part makes no sense...lol.

This is how it seems to work...

1. Open match
2. Archive match
3. Click on pop-up message saying that "yes," you really intended to archive this match
4. Open archive tab
5. Open profile again
6. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page
7. Click on "close" link
8. Click on pop-up message saying that "yes," you really intended to close this match.

Match has now (finally!) been moved to the closed matches tab.

This is not an improvement to me. I'm glad not to have to pick a reason, but in the process, they introduced even more steps, making it even more cumbersome to close matches.

Just logged in tonight and was very interested to see this.

About a week ago I got invited to an eharmony survey and this was almost exactly my suggestion to them on how to improve things.

Basically, what I wanted was some way of putting matches who you've sent initial questions to but you haven't heard back from (maybe because they are waiting for a FCW or some such) into one area so that you could keep track of them. You dont necessarily want to close them but just separate them out, so that the ones you ARE communicating with stay in one place as well.

Haven't really looked through what the changes are but I hope it's something similar to the above.

I agree! that's what I said in an earlier post. How does the extra step help..

This is basically, like the old hold feature

It's not about the extra step! I think the extra step is a goof, really.

The archive feature is what it's about.

It's nice to have a place to put profiles where you're thinking, well, I'm not sure about this one (maybe they're a flexible match). Or if you were communicating with a non-paying member over an FCW and you'd like to continue along that path when the next one comes up. Or even if you've sent first questions and you've been waiting for answers from them for a bit longer than usual. It isn't time to close them just yet, but having them under new matches is a pain. That's what this tab is for, in my mind.

I don't know what the on hold feature was, but to me on hold is, "Hey, I found someone better, and if it doesn't work out, I'll get back to you." Maybe that's what it could be used for, too.

Is anyone being asked all of those doggone questions we've already been asked about twice before again? Why am I being asked this again? It's annoying. The questions are the same as the ones that are there underneath the edit profile section. What's up with this?

Maybe they just haven't added the "close" button to the profiles yet so we can close them directly?

Maybe? (I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one...)

Plus, it would be very helpful if there were a close button at the TOP of the profile, too, so you wouldn't have to scroll all the way down to get to it (i.e., make it like the archive button, which is repeated at both the top and bottom of the profile...).

Mine got stuck while saving, so I just closed out the pop up...I wasn't thrilled to see that, especially since all of my answers were still saved on my profile.

I DO like seeing whether or not a match has kids at home.
