"@PlentyOfFish is there problems with plenty of fish as its logged me out and i cant log in?" tweeted one user.

"@PlentyOfFish can’t log into my account even though I reset my password many times HELPPPP," shared another.

One tweet dates back to August 6, indicating that the problem is an ongoing one: "@PlentyOfFish Why can’t I sign into my account? Won’t let me reset password or anything," reads the message posted by a UK user on Monday.

The official Plenty of Fish Twitter account has been replying to the tweets by asking users to DM it with their issues privately.

Plenty of Fish claims to have over 90 million users registered globally.

Originally established in 2003 by founder Markus Frind, he managed to gain ten million users while running the site from his bedroom.

Today the dating site is available in five different languages and reportedly gains an impressive 55,000 new sign-ups a day.

The site claims an impressive three million users are active daily and boasts that you know at least one person who found someone on POF.

Unlike some dating sites, Plenty of Fish is free to use, meaning people don't have to part with any money to start finding their matches.
