In the "Recent Activity" part, I use to see where someone viewed my profile but I have not seen that lately after all the changes mingle has made. All that is in there is the "Likes". I figured the scammers are not going to waste their time looking at a profile, but there had to have been at least a couple real profiles that looked at it.

Is anyone else seeing profiles that viewed your profile or is that gone now? If someone wants to just take a minute to click on my profile, then let me know they have done it. I am curious if that is another nice feature that is gone...

It's gone, unless you pay to "update".

It was a nice feature, but not worth paying to get it. With all the problems with this site that they don't fix, I do not know why anyone would pay for this...lol

When I joined in January, they offered a lifetime membership for around $90 -- about $10 more than for 6 months. With my statistically expected lifetime, that works out to between $8 and $10 per year. Economically, this expense is totally insignificant. For example, my groceries run around $70 a week, which is around $3600 a year -- at least 360 times more than the annual expense for Mingle.

Admittedly, the problems that they cause by unnecessary site changes and ill-advised policy changes are not good. IMO, the biggest problem is that they don't listen to their users and, when they do listen, they take forever to make the user-desired changes.

To be fair, they did recently make a good change: they stopped blurring profile photos.

To me, it is not the price but the principal of paying them for such terrible service.
Free members still see the blurred photos in the recent activity section if that is what you are talking about.
BTW, you must eat better than I do...my weekly groceries are usually only $50 a week...lol

I was talking about the blurred photos in the profiles, not about those in recent activity.

While I agree that the service isn't good, for me the principle has become moot -- I have already paid for the rest of my life.

Most of my grocery costs are "organic" berries; those are not cheap. Whether I eat better than you is a matter of opinion.

I have not seen any blurred photos that were in the profiles. I seem to remember someone talking about it though and saying it was because the viewer did not have enough photo's on their profile...True or not, who knows. To me, there should be something saying on each page "Paying members see non-blurred pictures" or what ever the upgrade is. But I have not seen any benefits really.

Most people put a higher value on the things that cost more, whether you are getting a better quality or more quantity. Some times I get the organic stuff, but in the back of my mind I seem to remember people saying that cyanide is organic also, so be careful what you get...lol
