Hiding Profile
There may be times, like when you start a new relationship, that you'll want to remove your profile from being visible to other members. If your profile is hidden, it will not be displayed in search result
Since this reduces your chances of finding a match, we recommend only hiding your profile when you are taking a break or have met someone you are interested in.
As a member of Stir, you have the ability to hide your profile from view at any time, for any reason.
Can others see my hidden profile?
When you hide your profile, it's no longer visible on the site, it will no longer appear in search results, and will not be accessible to previous connections on the site.
If you previously communicated with another member they will still be able to read and reply to your messages however your profile will not be accessible and will appear as "Profile Unavailable" in the message thread.
Adjusting Visibility
If you view another member's profile while your profile is hidden, our system still registers that you were there. So once you are unhidden, your profile will appear in their "Who's Viewed Me" section. But not until then.
You may notice that your profile counter continues to increase in number while your profile is hidden. This happens when members who may know your username try (unsuccessfully) to look at your profile.
You can easily manage your profile visibility settings at any time. All members can choose to make their profiles Visible or Hidden. If you’ve purchased Private Mode, you’ll also have the option to make your profile Private as well (visible only to members you have chosen to contact).
