So the profile is hidden and has been going on a few months now, before that it was just a profile with text but no pics, now I’ve not been on in a week yet today I’ve logged in and found 3 new messages from users I’ve never spoken to and don’t know me from socials etc and I’ve also got ten new winks some from folk I know, what I can’t understand is the how and why folk would message a profile that doesn’t appear in the searches and is hidden lol they haven’t even conversed in the forums with me ! Is it quite simply a case of verification stalking or what ? |

Didn’t think anyone could if the profile is hidden  not unless they’ve messaged you in the past. |

Yeah you can still use the "Message" button from the "this profile is hidden" page or a forum post - why people would want to do so without knowing the person or being able to see any detail is beyond me though - smacks of desperation to me  |

One person told me they did this with me as they knew I'd be getting a lot less messages while I was hidden. |

I just don’t get it, I could understand if it’s someone I’ve met at club and they’ve said oh I’ll message you but it’s total randoma not even folk who had old profiles and came back with new ones, one guy was like your on my hotlist from months ago but mate your profiles only 4 weeks old ! . Total desperation but you wonder how and where they go to even know your profile exists |

"I've seen fabs and messages come through when my profile is hidden as well, it confuses me too! "
Do you still keep your avatar up when you hide profile ? Cause I don’t even have one of those |

That would make sense if they were aware of your profile before it was hidden I guess.
The only other reason could be if it were in response to a forum post made whilst hidden. |

Maybe you've been on their hotlist, from before you were hidden OP and they've braved messaging you when you are offline for a little. |

Usually yeah, just cos I don't like the silhouette. I can see how messages could still come through from forum posts, but not fabs if pics are all hidden. It is odd. |

If they're new pics uploaded while hidden I 'think' they still appear in new pics and can be fabbed that way - might also appear on the Hotlist timeline and get fabbed there if it's someone who has you hotlisted |

"Or they are forum lurkers and that's why you've not seen them post 
We prefer the term non interactive forum watchers  "
Ooops. To rewrite...
Perhaps they are 'non interactive forum watchers' and that's why you've not seen them post OP |

My introvert/extrovert phases are usually quite separate ha, so I would only upload pics while unhidden. It's not a big deal at all, just did notice it was a bit weird. |

It is a bit crazy when you have a hidden profile, to get messages mind. I think some forget there's a reason why it's hidden.... Unless they are friends of course |
