One of the biggest new problems with the site is that all of the profile pages now have the page title <em>POF &#8211; Profile<\/em> and don&#8217;t include the person&#8217;s name, location, or interests like they used to. This means that when you look through your browser history, you won&#8217;t be able to find someone because they all have the same page title.<\/p>\n<h2>Solution<\/h2>\n<p>This user-script adds the user-name of a person&#8217;s profile to the page title so that you can differentiate them in the browser history to make easier (or at all possible) to find a specific profile in the history.<\/p>\n<p>(You\u2019ll need a browser-extension like <a href=\"https:\/\/tampermonkey.net\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TamperMonkey<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/violentmonkey.github.io\/get-it\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ViolentMonkey<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greasespot.net\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GreaseMonkey<\/a> in order to use it.)<\/p>\n<h2>Download<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/synetech\/POFTitleFixer.user.js\" title=\"POF Title Fixer user-script download\">POF Title Fixer<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Is this userscript actually necessary, can&#8217;t you just report this issue to POF and have them fix it?<br \/>\nA: In my experience, POF has terrible support. I&#8217;ve reported numerous bugs to them and they either ignore it, can&#8217;t understand the problem no matter how hard I try to explain it to them, or just don&#8217;t care. Therefore, I wouldn&#8217;t hold your breath on getting this fixed, so unfortunately, this userscript is indeed necessary. (Though considering how badly they&#8217;ve ruined the site and how almost completely useless it&#8217;s become, the best solution may be to just stop using the site altogether and use something else. Unfortunately, almost every other site requires a paid subscription in order to make contact, and are thus completely worthless. The only other site that lets you make contact for free is OKCupid.)<\/p>\n<h2>Screenshots<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_96\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 127px\"><a href=\"\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useful-Old-POF-Page-Titles.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useful-Old-POF-Page-Titles-117x300.png\" alt=\"Browser history of POF pages with profile names, locations, and interests\" width=\"117\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-96\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useful-Old-POF-Page-Titles-117x300.png 117w, https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useful-Old-POF-Page-Titles.png 348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 117px) 100vw, 117px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">POF used to include the name, location, and interests of profiles in the page title, thus making it easy to search for profiles in the browser history<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_97\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 127px\"><a href=\"\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useless-New-POF-Page-Titles.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useless-New-POF-Page-Titles-117x300.png\" alt=\"Browser history of POF pages with all the same title\" width=\"117\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useless-New-POF-Page-Titles-117x300.png 117w, https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Useless-New-POF-Page-Titles.png 348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 117px) 100vw, 117px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">POF\u2019s page titles no longer include any information, are useless, and make it difficult to search for specific profiles in the browser history<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_99\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 231px\"><a href=\"\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Fixed-POF-Page-Titles.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Fixed-POF-Page-Titles-221x300.png\" alt=\"Browser history with POF profiles with usernames\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Fixed-POF-Page-Titles-221x300.png 221w, https:\/\/synetech.ddns.net\/blogs\/synetech\/files\/2020\/05\/Fixed-POF-Page-Titles.png 351w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">This user-script adds usernames to POF page titles so that you can actually find them in the browser history<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plenty of Fish title fixer user-script Problem The match-making site Plenty of Fish has unfortunately updated to a horrible new design which is not only ugly, but worse, completely broken and almost completely dysfunctional.
