At the beginning of the weekend I made a change to the database. From now on all profiles will be filtered from the search pages if the profile contains 6 or more "Tell you later" boxes. Basically if you don't complete your profile then you can still use the site, but you won't get the visibility that other members get.

It's caught a couple of our regular members out already. Which is why I've also added it to the "Account progress" bar which pops up around the place. It will remind you to complete the profile if necessary.

I need to also apologise for doing it in a rush and not fully testing it. This made the profile searches pretty much unusable all weekend. Whooops, sorry. I've fixed it now though.

Feedback welcome below. Do you find 6 boxes too many, not enough, or just right?

Sounds good to me - might encourage folk to complete their profiles. If someone can't be bothered to put anything more than "tell you later" then I can't be bothered to find out.

Absolutely think this is great. Personally I don't see the point of doing the "I'll tell you later" thing. Why bother filling anything in at all ? I, like a lot on here, simply don't bother with faceless "ITYL" members.

If you can't be bothered to fill the questions in, then what makes you think that I'm going to be bothered and second, more importantly, it makes you look like you are hiding something, especially the question of whether you are single/married !

Put a piccie up and fill in the boxes. It isn't hard.

"Tell you later" is what the site says if you don't pick an option or write anything

I'm going to make an "activity" area where you can see views and nods, with photos. It's next on my list

Personally I would like it if profiles without a photo are not included in searches. I'm not into blind dating, and prefer to see who I'm getting messages from.

I don't mean that in a shallow way, as in if you're ugly I won't chat, I just mean I wouldn't speak to anyone who has their face covered so why expect me to do so on here?

Also, if you're attending a BM event, a photo helps others to recognise you when you turn up, provided it's an up to date photo.

Searches already by default exclude people without a main profile picture.
You have to uncheck the box to enable profiles in searches that have no profile.
It's always been this way ;-)
