Members who are most active on the site keep their profile visible in all places because it ups their chances of connecting with people.

If you don't want your profile to show up in Members Online, Hot Lists or Search, you can go to Profile Display Settings in Member Services and hide your profile. You will still be able to use the site and browse through members anonymously.

Just remember, someone special may be looking for you and never get to find you if your profile is hidden.

If you would like to take a break and become inactive on the site, you can suspend your membership by going to suspend your membership in member services. When you are ready to reactivate your profile, simply login and click Unsuspend.
