Category Archives: Site changes

For the first time ever, eHarmony changes its terms of service and tells its members.

(For everyone’s information, eHarmony changes its terms and conditions of service from time to time, without telling its members and customers beforehand. Also, eHarmony never tells anyone what the changes were. In October 2008, I got sick and tired of this and decided to use a “web page monitoring service” to watch for changes to their TOS page (plus a few others), and then of course report them here. This will be a regular column under this blog’s “Site changes” category. I hope you find it useful.)

For the first time ever, eHarmony informs its customers that they changed their terms and conditions of business. In the past two days, several members (not all of them) received an advisory email from eHarmony with a summary of the changes last April 25. Honestly I am stupefied!

Renewal Problems…No Codes Allowed?

I’m trying to renew (again), and I noticed a change to eHarmony’s website. Usually, I go to My Settings, then Account Settings, where I can change the auto-renew settings or enter a promo code in. This is no longer available, it appears. Now, at the bottom of the page under “Subscription Status” it says the following:

Your subscription expires on: February 3, 2012
The last payment we received was: October 31, 2011 for $44.85
This subscription will auto-renew at: It does not auto-renew
Reactivate My Subscription at: 1 Month Membership for a total price of $29.95.

Goodbye, eHarmony Kate

We think you were the best eHarmony host, and eHarmony Advice won’t be the same without you. :)

Happy Trails, Kate (not her real name)!

Without telling you …, eHarmony Canada makes major changes to its privacy policy

Dilbert

eHarmony PHB: “Here’s an idea: let’s monitor each of our users’ actions, save them permanently and then sell their behaviour to the ACME company. I had a meeting with ACME today and they offered us millions for it, monthly.”

eHarmony minion: “Great idea, sir … but this violates our privacy policy.”

The Smile Button

Hello everyone:

I’m a long time user here on eharmony and today I was trying to complete sending some answers to a match in the Closed Ended Questions stage when I was logged off, when I tried to log back on, I see EH made another change to their site, it added a button underneath a match photo’s to send a smile, so I thought to myself let me go ahead and do that. Unfortunately I see it’s the icebreaker that says “Your profile brought a smile to my face”, have anybody else noticed this change or is it just me.

I can say that one of the bad things about being on EH is the fact that when they roll out a change, they do it without telling anybody, in fact I went to the help topics to see if there is something mentioned about “The Smile Button” and guess what, I don’t see a thing.

I thought I would let folks know about another change here on EH!

New feature: Date of last activity

This is huge. We haven’t seen this in our accounts yet, but some accounts are reporting that the “My Home” page now shows the date of last activity of each match.

  • Homer, Last active today
  • Marge, Last active yesterday
  • Lisa, Last active December 21, 2008

Ooohh, subscribers in areas where there are few subscribers will be pissed. We will update this post once we get screenshots.

    I got this feature a few days ago. It is rolled out to groups of members at a time. As the feature ONLY shows up on your "Home" page, it does not give you any new info. It only shows up for members who have done something...sent you a communication, changed their profile, or added a photo. Well, …
