How do you like to communicate? Direct and Immediate? Slow and Easy? Our NEW Preferred Communication Feature lets everyone know your communication style.

I found this article on a 2007 post... WHERE can I change this on my profile. Dashboard? What dash board? does this not exist any more?

I have never seen that, but I am still fairly new to eH.
Maybe they had added the option to skip right to OC, when before you had to only go thru GC first?

EH has been through half a dozen changes since 2007. One of the negatives about these old threads popping up is that it can be confusing. If I am not mistaken, this is no longer an option.

Yeah, this is one of the things they got rid of in one of their "upgrades."

If I were a guessing man, I'd say that Customer Care would give you the throw away line of, "if one is really important to you, you need to state that in your profile."

Nope...eH used to list on your profile which communication preference you preferred - GC (guided communication) or Fasttrack (which is now eharmony email)

This was actually very helpful - You knew exactly what your match preferred and acted accordingly. I would love for this to return.

I haven't used EH since they got rid of this option ... but can't you still send an "eharmony mail request" before you go through the whole GC process? And your match can accept or decline.

(And nonpaid members during FCWs have to decline.)

You can, but there was an option that allowed you to specify which type of communication you prefer on your profile, and that part is gone.

True.. but emails are like car crashes- you just have to look.

I'd rather it just be clear upfront. If I don't have to go through GC I want to know.. So yes! lets start a petition to bring it back..

I didn't think they even had that option.. from what I've read here, it just brought them a different screen to whip out the plastic..
