Online my arse

Everybody knows that folks are more likely to read a message if it pops into their inbox while they are online rather than it getting lost in the 300 other messages that they've accumulated since yesterday.

So here's how it works (or doesn't) on Fab:

Look at the profile see that they are online

Read the profile, refresh the search, check that they are still online.

Compose interesting and witty personalised message, in private notes (little tip for you)

Refresh search, check that they are still online.

Copy message into actual message, re-read it, attach photo, click send.

Refresh search, check that they are still online.

Go to Sent messages, check profile that you just sent the meassage to....online 6 minutes ago!!!

Fuck fuck fuck, happens every time.

Please fix it

Online means "has been online in the past five minutes"

Then it would be good if it were worded as such.

I thought online would mean online

...and it actually says 'online now'

You are going to get ignored anyway so I would just chill and not worry about it

I don't think it makes that much of a difference.

Not a bad idea, could work provided they recipient also has a meet advertised, or status update. Ateofd single men need to be the right face at the right time and if your lucks in, the message might be answered and you then have a very short window of opportunity to impress.

Tbh OP instead of the long drawn out method you're using just send the message. Then you'd be more likely to catch them online if you think that actually makes a difference.

If you're missing them by mere minutes then cut the process time down, stop creating messages in notes and just send it.

I really don't think it'll make a difference. Most people will check a profile out before opening a message, so the profile content and images are more important than the first message.

No matter how good the message if the profile isn't appealing it'll all be wasted effort.

Most site's have bots on them , I'd be surprised if fab was any different.

I have both a single and a couples profile, the other day I logged on to my single profile my mistake logged of immediately, then logged onto my couples profile. I answered a few messages and then looked at our friends list and was surprised to see that my single profile was online. X

Don't just message when people are online, it's really annoying and exactly why mail gets lost!
