Question about yahoo personals

Do you have to completely delete your profile on yahoo so that no one can see it? I have set mine as non-searchable and I thought that meant that no one could see it and that it was hidden, however, I got an email from a guy tonight. It has been non- searchable for weeks. Anyone else have this happen? And how do I keep people from being able to see it?

thanks!

Maybe if they saved your profile at an earlier time, then finally got around to contacting you? That is the only thing I can think of. Kinda stinky.

Yes, in order for it to be completely hidden, you have to delete it. Even if it's unsearchable, if someone had saved your profile before you made it unsearchable, or if they had emailed you before, then it will just look the same to them (they wouldn't be able to tell you'd made it unsearchable).

Thanks ladies! Not sure why it never occured to me that if I was saved in their favorites that they might still be able to view my profile. I used to be a member on match and I don't think it works that way on that site. But I am deleting!
