Hi, I’m still very new to all this but have seen some people and had some people give me good advice, how do I follow them? I’m not very techy. Thanks

Are you using the app or accessing through the website?

If the website then click on the members name that you want to follow
A black box should open up
Click on the members name in orange in the box which takes you to their "homepage"
In the top right of this page are the options report, follow and ignore.
Click on whichever you wish.

I have never understood the follow option. It doesn't appear to do anything, or have I been missing something for the last 4 years?

I'm guessing you get notified if your person posts.. we can test it .. I'll follow you and see what happens..

OK, but I'm sure I tried this years ago and nothing happened. Let's see.

Yep that was a dismal failure..
Nothing happened.. @DCUKMod do you know what shoudl happen if I follow @Bluetit1802 ?
I have just read the interactions between yourself and bluetit and have selected to follow you to see if anything happens I haven’t chosen to follow anyone up til now but yesterday was notified that someone has chosen to follow me so it will be interesting to see what happens?

I have absolutely no clue as I have never actually followed anyone. I'll ask, but realistically, I'm not likely to get a response from the person I need before tomorrow.

No rush but would be interesting to know how it's supposed to work as it doesn't seem to!
Many thanks

Hover cursor over your profile pic on the top RH bar - then click "Your News Feed" on the drop down menu - that will show you posts by people you follow.

I don’t understand it either! I have some followers but early on I clicked to follow someone but nothing seemed to happen so I haven’t bothered since! :banghead:

Who'd have thunk! Problem solved, not that it was a problem as I've never followed anyone.

Haha not sure I’ve been called a stalker before nothing really happening for me either, no notifications or alerts other than I got before
