To view the status of your profile, go to the Yahoo!7 Dating home page and make sure you're logged in. Near the top of the page, you'll see a box called "My Profile" in the My Personals section. Your profile's status is listed there.

Yahoo!7 Dating profiles usually show up on the site within 24 to 48 hours after they're created. This is because when you create your personal profile, the profile (and your photo(s), if you included any) immediately goes into a queue to be reviewed to make sure it complies with our guidelines. If you posted a photo with your profile, it might take up to 72 hours to appear on your personal profile.

When your profile has been approved, it shows up as "Searchable" or "Not Searchable"(depending on if you want it in search results or not) on the Yahoo!7 Dating home page, and we'll notify you in your Yahoo!7 Dating Mailbox. Remember, when you create a personal profile, you have the ability to determine what type of profile you want to post:

• Searchable: (most responses) Your profile appears in search results so eligible singles can contact you.
• Not searchable: (fewer responses) Your profile does not appear in search results, but you can attach it when you reply to other profiles.
