I'm curious as I've been to have a nosey at profiles of people who have sent nods only to find they don't exist. Are these from people who have been kicked straight off the site or something?

I think some of them disable their profile and that's why we can't access them. I had a nod and went to see who sent it and got the message that says they've either disabled it or haven't had it approved yet.

One success this week, I received a nod from an "invisible" profile, I messaged back and got a reply, they hadn't realised their profile was hidden.

I can't see how it's possible to not know, cos ya have to click on 'disable profile' to disable it

Hey Prof - numpty question here - how'd you manage to message someone who's got a disabled profile?

I've managed to do it before if they've posted on the forums, but can't see how else to do it.

I wonder if we lose quite a lot of new members who join, send a few nods and view a load of profiles then leave because "nobody" views their profile or nods back?

It seems to happen quite often that new members have disabled profiles. Is there a way to make the profile visible by default? Or are new profiles perhaps disabled until they've been checked by a mod?

Cheers Billy :o)

Computer weirdness followed by cash flow crisis unfortunately... and that particular crisis has just taken a HUGE turn for the worse, thanks to Norwich Union's/Aviva's complete ineptitude.

profiles are ENABLED by default (i.e. as soon as you create one). They are NOT disabled until approved, they are automatically enabled but are put into a queue pending moderation. However, while in this queue they can still be viewed. You can PM someone who has a disabled PROFILE if you just put their name into a New Message box, but you can't pm someone who has had their ACCOUNT disabled (My mods). A disabled account means they wont be returning!
