    UPDATE: After mostly negative feedback about this feature, it has been disabled. Thanks to all who commented – I always need your opinions about any changes to the site.

    Testing new feature today.
    Just a test! It’s temporary!

    – A Recent Profile Visitors tab is now active on all profile pages.

    – It shows the 5 most recent visitors to that profile page.

    – It is visible to all logged-in users, not just the owner of that profile.

    – I am VERY aware of the positive & negative aspects of adding this to everyone’s page:

    POSITIVE:
    A bit of fun!
    Incentive to regularly check out the site (anyone new been looking at my page?)
    Easy way to show a bit of interest in someone.

    POSSIBLE NEGATIVE:
    Guys start sending many unwanted PMs to women who happen to view their page.
    Guys get a bit demoralised that their page receives few views.

    And so on.

    Anyway, this is just a test so you can get a feel for how it will look & work.
    It is NOT working as required just yet (it is supposed to show live update, so you should see yourself as the left-most avatar on the list whenever you visit a profile – this is not happening) but as a demo it serves its purpose.

    Comments below please – good, bad, or don’t care?

    UPDATE: Here’s a little idea if you want some basic info about any of the members showing in your Recent Profile Visitors list, yet you do NOT want to click their pic/avatar because then you appear in THEIR list.

    Here’s how: click the little down arrow on the list. Note the name & avatar/pic. Go to Search page. Enter their name in “Find any word” section. Click Search. Scan down the list of results til you see their name & matching pic. That’s them. You will see their country, location, and About Me description.

    I can see it as positive mostly. Only downside is sometimes I snoop through profiles cause I’m curious what pictures someone has or what they are writing. And now it seems kinda awkward if I did that. Bright side is if I’m not active and someone visits my profile it means they could possibly be interested. That’s just my opinion.

    Ohhh I see what you mean now about the unwanted dms. Yeah if a woman views my page I usually just say hey I saw you viewed my page are you interested and leave it at that lol.

    A very scandalous feature! 🤣 Nicknames and smileys for profile pics means oft-clicking to find your way to that person that interested you, while jumping across many profiles on the way 😅

    Poppy lol!
    But I’m just trying it out. I know we discussed this the other day in chat, but there are more people on this site than me, you, Scorpio & Londonman.
    So I just want to hear a few more opinions.

    Hey,

    Thanks Michael for all the work you do on the site.

    I have no strong thoughts on the feature but it is a bit strange that everyone can see everyone’s visitors. For example, I just look at a women’s profile and saw the last five guys who’d also looked. Could you add the feature to our personal page (the one with the change of nickname etc.) rather than the profile page?

    Thanks again – it’s a lot of work to do all this.

    I’d probably prefer not to have the feature than to have it. Sometimes I click on a profile because the username or profile pic intrigues or amuses me and the guy may assume interest.
    I also wonder if good connections are being made via PMs if people see their potential has viewed another profile whether this could scupper blossoming connections and create insecurities?

    Thanks for your comments everyone.
    So far – mostly a thumbs down.
    All noted.
    Keep the comments coming, as things stand it looks – on balance – like a rather unwelcome feature so of course I will remove it.
    But keep the comments coming please, good or bad, they all count.

    Well I won’t be viewing anyone then. I already get silly two worded messages and generally only check locations but as no one local to me on maps has logged in for longer than I have been a member here that makes everyone else not local I guess.

    Ok, most women seem to be against.
    Men don’t seen to care much either way.

    I shall remove it now.

    I only ever want to make changes to the site if it’s a definite improvement, and most users like the change.

    Thanks for the feedback guys!
