Though I don't know when it disappeared. It may have been a bit ago with the site upgrade or it may have happened with the Archive downgrade.

But ... there used to be two settings, one asked if you would be willing to accept a match that would be willing to move. The other asked if you would be willing to move for your match.

Maybe I am just plain stoopid but this seems to be deal breaking type information on any matching that is not local.

Seems from the lack of interest that no one must be interested in using eHarmony for finding LDRs.

Those seem like good questions to ask, so that's probably why they were removed.

Seems like right now anything to improve functionality and help people must be destroyed.

I remember those questions but think they went missing some time before the upgrade. Not sure tho. My photographic memory is outta film currently.

Hi Gr8guyn2008 et al –

Yes, that was removed a *while* ago. It was around the time that the Match Flexibility settings became displayed as sliding bars after every setting (rather than in their own section at the end of the My Settings page).

I believe that the intention behind getting rid of it was to open more opportunities. The relocation preference settings did create possible restrictions by allowing members to say they were not willing to relocate. This is in line with the (general) encouragement we tend to offer to be open to matches whose settings fall outside your normal comfort zones. The distance settings are more basic.

As you may have anticipated…it’s now up to you if you want to write something on your profile about your ability/inability to relocate. Even when that setting existed, I would still encourage people to write it on their profiles to get their long-distance matches' attention. You never know who's out there who would be willing to communicate given the extra information.

All the best,

~Kate
