I have my profile set to block for some things. How can I set a block on the searches so I don't see people that do not fit ALL my critieria? Specifically, I want to block out "Intimate Encounter's (IE)" from showing up in my searches. Anyone know if we are able to do this? Help please! Thanks!!

Thanks for trying. flowerforyou

I been there many times and went there again. It only applies to blocking in Mail and not in Searchs. I do have a block in the Mail setting for this.

In my SEARCH section I selected boxes that do not include "Intimate Encounters" for what I am "LOOKING FOR." Very odd that those profiles still show up in my Matches. huh I'd say that is definately NOT a MATCH! laugh

Unless I am just missing the box that says "Block Intimate Encounters in Search," then this site has an "OOPS WE DON'T DO THAT" issue or a programming issue that has been overlooked.

I really do not want to sift through 100's of IE's when that is not what I am interested in.

Anyone got a tried and true suggestion that would to the job correctly?

Hi, IslandPearl. Have you adjusted the settings using the following pathway?

Search tab --> Advanced --> Looking For

Hi Charles!

Thanks for the response! flowerforyou

Yep I've done that. See above thread.

I went to Search>Advanced>Looking For> and selected: Dating, Friendship, Marriage, Relationship, Activity Partner. I did not select Any or Intimate Encounter.

Still I got those IE's showing up in my Matches and Searches. So frustrating! grumble

I'm still hoping I can get a Site Admin to help since we are not able to contact them through this site. Maybe I'm just missing where that place is also! laugh

Anybody else got any ideas? Please?

I am a site admin, believe it or not. laugh Sorry I missed that part of your second post -- I guess I rush at times.

In any case, my next question is this: Are you using JustSayHi or OnePlusYou? You can read about OPU here, in case you have not already:

Oh Dear Obi Won Kenobi, as in Site Admin Guru Charles, I AM using OPU. That is where I posted this question. It is where I have been responding to the advice received to date. It is where I am responding from right now. I find it very interesting that you are not able to see my footprint if you are a Site Admin. I guess you don't have that kind of access. huh okay.

Please try your suggestings first and then let me know when it works.

MY goal: to block profiles seeking Intimate Encounters from showing up in my Searches AND Mutual Matches.

They are not Mutual Matches or Interests of mine!

Help!! Please fix it on your end if that is what is required.

I may have to move off this site if I keep getting IE profiles in my Searches and Matches.

However, I do like the Forums. Just good and fun people. Harmless.

You are correct -- I do not have access to the tools (i.e., technical operations access) that I would need in order to figure out which site you are/were using. Thank you for answering my question.

I did try to duplicate the problems with my accounts (this one and my testing one) first, of course, to no avail. With your permission, though, I'd like to use your account for a little testing. I would not be surprised if I am able to encounter the same issues that you have, as Mutual Match does have flaws.

If you do decide not to use the site, of course, you are still welcome to use the forums. There are indeed a lot of good people here. :smile:
