Quibbles with “New Profile Questions”

Digging back through posts on here, there was mention of some new profile questions in this discussion that would help spark conversation and establish commonalities between matches.

So, where are they?  I’m not seeing them on any of the matches I’ve gotten. Apparently, hiding until you complete the questions.

Come to think of it, I think I clicked “later” when I got the additional questionnaire, so I never filled it out.  So, if members that are signing up recently can see this info, they aren’t seeing mine.  No fair.  You have to fill all the questions out…?

There also is no apparent link in the preferences to edit them, as mentioned in the earlier discussion.

Any idea on what gives?  Was it a quick testing like they did before actually deploying it, only to be properly deployed later? Browser incompatibility is my best answer…I wasn’t prompted to fill out the questions again until I browsed the site under another browser.

    I received the opportunity to answer these questions and skipped it because of the earlier post here mentioned these were permanent. (See http://eharmony-blog.com/1610 ) While answers to most of the questions probably won’t change dramatically over time, the question “How do you spend most of your spare time? (pick up to 3)” might, and I didn’t like that I could never change that answer.

    I was further dissuaded when I read, “If you choose Reading, a follow-up question asks three books that you enjoyed in the past year and their genres.” I read at least 1-2 books a month, so I didn’t want my profile to forever reflect three books I thought memorable in the year prior to answering the questions.

    I agree that in general this was a great added feature, but when a question specifically references a time period, it doesn’t make sense to make the answer permanent.

    I’m interested in what others have to say and what your experiences have been with this.

    Let me get this straight.

    a. The “Here’s what you and Susan have in common” text boxes are drawn from how you and Susan’s answered some commonality questions.
    b. You never answered these questions.
    c. You’re asking now why you can’t see any of these text boxes.

    Ron,

    Did you answer the questions and as a result, do you see the text boxes?

    There is presently no way for me to answer the questions. eHarmony prompted me but I chose “Not now”. I see no option in the user interface for me to go answer them (or as others have quibbled, to revise your answers). I can understand the initial questionnaire being an answer once proposition but these don’t seem to fall into that category.

    My suspicion is that the questions may be like the “Who has viewed me” tab that was a live beta test and went away for a while before it was put into production.

    Browser incompatibility strikes again. Apparently, when I browsed the site with another browser instead of FireFox, it popped up a question and I have now seen one match with “you have x in common”.

    Very annoying.

    Still annoying that I can not go back and revise my answers or answer all the questions because I’m sure that I didn’t answer all of them.

    Their QA engineers ought to be fired for incompetence. I agree with all of you. Why didn’t any one of them realize that their users will want to edit their answers. Why didn’t any one of them try this if it worked on different browsers?

    Companies in LA, if you see “QA Engineer, eHarmony” in a resume of one of your job applicants, watch out!
