Beware- Match.com not working at all now

Well, decided to give the Match.com trial a go again.

I had a link for a 7 day offer but evidently that has expired and was no good.

I found a 3 day offer so I signed up and started honing my message I was going to send out.

Sent the message to my test account. All that would show up was the title of the message, nothing in the body would appear at all?!?

I even put in jibberish in the body, it still only sent the title of the message.

I was able to put "wiles_1 at yahoo to reach me" and that went through to my test account okay. Then suddenly that didn't work either.

So I went to the cancel screen after several more attempts and it isn't even working, it sends you back to the search screen and tells you to be patient while they do maintenance on the system.

Well that would certainly be a bunch of crap if someone was at the end of their 3 day trial and were unable to cancel the account because Match was performing "maintenance"... what a rip... sounding more and more like some kind of scam to me now. When did they start going downhill like that?

I sent them an email to cancel, hopefully that will go through before Monday...

I never thought I'd say that Yahoo has beaten the pants off of Match.com on the personals site... I didn't have any trouble at all with Yahoo last week, easy peazy.

Oh well, just thought I'd pass it on.

seems very slow tonight and I wouldn't be surprised if it was quirky. I emailed someone a couple hours ago so I guess I'll find out.

Update - confirmed - Match is sending emails but the body is blank

EDIT:

Clarification - I noticed this problem about 8pm - 4/9/05 - the match system was very slow to respond. One person just asked why I sent her a blank email and whether there was supposed to be something in the main body. Since she was able to email me I am guessing the system came back.

Yeah, it seemed to fix itself about an hour later or so.
