I don't get how, out of the number of eH people, I could have NO VIEWS for a full 2 weeks??? How can that be? Also, I NEED to post my profile for several experts out there to tell me what I'm doing wrong but I don't know how to grab my entire profile and post. I don't need to copy and paste each individual question, do I? Sorry if this is a dumb question.....

How many matches have you received in that two week period? If you've gotten 100, then something is amiss. If you've gotten 5, then it really may just be that none of them has viewed his account (or, they are all inactive non-subscribers).

It's easiest for people here to review profiles when people cut and past each question and response (just cut-and-paste the items where you actually have to write a response yourself in the text field). But, if you go to the screen where you complete your profile (i.e., not your profile as it appears), I think you can cut and paste the whole thing (although, like I said, it's easier to review profiles when you use the former approach).

I just checked and I have had 21 matches sent to me in the last 2 weeks! That's a long way from 100, huh? does that number sound...normal? btw, what does VCL stand for? Oh, i just put up a request for a review. I ended up using "select all" but thank you for the help. If you happen to check out my profile, I'd welcome some input.... :-)

Sometimes it just takes a while for things to get started. 21 matches in a week seems pretty normal if you don't have matching criteria wide open. I was on eHarmony for 3 months and it took about two before I even started getting communication (or getting communication back when I initiated contact) and then I had 5 interesting matches communicating with me all at once!

LBMM is right; it's worth waiting just a bit longer to see if your profile is getting viewed (although your impatience is surely understandable!). If it still appears that nobody has viewed you after the coming weekend (even anonymously), I suggest that you contact Customer Service so they can see if any tweaking might help (you might also check your preferences to see if they are as broad as you're willing to go; if not, try expanding them to see if that brings in more matches....matches that are hopefully looking at their accounts!).

VCL = Volunteer Community Leader. VCLs are sort of like volunteer board moderators. When you see their posts, they appear with a blue background. I recently stepped down after serving as VCL for a year and noted that in my byline.

Welcome to eHA!

Some people choose to view anonymously. At the bottom of the list of views it says how many Anonymous Views you have had.

Have you only been on eHarmony for 2 weeks? Most (about 90%) of your matches are going to be non-paying members. Most non-paying members are also non-active which means they will neither view nor close you.

It really is easiest to review a profile if you copy and past the individual parts into a thread here. It really is not too hard to do and should only take you a couple of minutes.

I would not be too quick to close matches just because they did not view or even communicate with you in 2 weeks. I would recommend sending First Questions to any match that is at all interesting to you. If they respond great, if they don't then wait until the next FCW. The day before the FCW begins send a Nudge to any that have not responded. After the FCW is over then close out any matches that never responded.
