You get a match.
The match "archives" you.
You send a communication to that match.

What does it do on the other end, from the point of view of the person you sent the communication to? Does your profile move from their archive back to new matches or what?

Hi, I have another related question for the eHarmony team about the archive feature:
I have seen someone who closed me or archived me (I am not sure), but I have not seen the list of replies.
And also, today I closed a match, but I have not seen the list of reasons for me to say why I have decided to close this match.

Are these features not available any longer at eHarmony or is there any way to setup these features?

I archived a girl who then communicated with me. I got an email notification that she was requesting communication and had sent the 5 questions. When I logged in, her profile was automatically moved from my archive folder into my COMMUNICATIONS folder (not my new folder). Her profile was in my comms folder with the bold letters saying "Match requests communication" in the middle column and the orange button in the right column saying "Answer her questions"

Hope this helps.

The close reasons are no longer available on eH. If you archive someone or they archive you, neither will know of being archived. It is solely an additional folder for you to use to move people from your new folder to a "holding" folder before you decide to either communicate or close. The other person is unaware.

However, if someone closes you (or you close them), eH automatically moves the others profile into the archive folder with the only option for that person to do is to confirm closing the match with "close match" button. If you choose not to click that button, the person that closed you can change their mind on closing you until you click the "close match" button.

Back n the day, one used to say "I love you".

Thanks to eHarmony, we now are able to say "I archive you".

My guess is the other person sees you in their communication tab saying that you've requested communication. That's followed by a loud sigh or an audible "oh dear God, I wanted this person to just go away." Then they close you.

Thanks for the replies

Personally I use the archive feature a lot. It takes a terrible profile to get "closed" by me upfront. It's just too many clicks now.

UGH!
This is exactly what EHarmony wanted to hear.

Your post will probably make it up into the board room of EHarmony.

Too many Closes cause people to not renew their Subscription.
EHarmony loses money when that happens.
Thus, EHarmony does not like Closes.

The problem is, 99% of the time an Archive *IS* a Close.
People just don't know they have been Archived, and thus for all practical purposes, Closed.

How do you know if someone archives you. If they move you to their Archive folder you do not know this. If they show up in your Archive folder that means they have closed you and the only thing you can do is let them sit in your Archive folder or close them which moves them to your Closed folder (which you now have to get too by first going to your Archive folder).
