Hi,

I literally have not logged into match since Thursday afternoon, yet it still says "active within 24 hours". Any clue as to how that works? I can't find any info on it at match.

Thanks!

Match will sometimes show you as "Active within 24 hours" until you hit the 3 day mark. Then it switches to "Active within 3 Days" -- so their indication of when you've been active is generally a guideline and not an exact time.

The Active Within also resets if you reply to an email through the service even if you do not login -- or at least it used to within the last few months. Match has been making "upgrades" periodically and from time to time this may change.

THANKS LG!

do you know what about if you get an email but do not reply via their service?

I don't believe receiving emails or winks resets your activity. My info on this is a couple months old -- but when I tested it then -- it was the results I received.

If you block someone - they will not receive any notification that they are blocked - EXCEPT their email will not show in THEIR SENT folder. If YOU are using MSN ALERTS you will receive an alert that a blocked person winked/emailed - but nothing will go to your email.

If you block people they can still see you -- just cannot communicate at all.

Winks can only happen once every 30 days -- this may be only applicable to unpaid members - I'm not sure.

That goes for paid members as well. I have a habit of forgetting who I've winked to (esp. when I shotgun) and I'll get a message saying "you've already winked at this member within the past 30 days." I'm grateful for that reminder -- I don't want to appear stalkerish :)
