On Being A Forum Follower?

[+ Gar1eth]

I've noticed that we can choose to follow some of our Fellow Forumites. What exactly does this mean-other than choosing the option to follow someone? Does it, for example, alert you to all new posts by that person? Are there any other special perks of being a follower?

I think I have one or two....but not sure why anyone would follow me. I'm not particularly interesting.

I'm so glad you asked this question. I, too, wish to understand. A few of you are, so I was informed, "following me". I am flattered and gratified to learn this. I am at my most attractive when viewed from behind...(..I am a bottom....). So please follow me home, if that works for you, and let's meet face to face.... In Palm Springs, perhaps.

No special perks per se, other than you can instantly see under Members On Line those that you are following, but more importantly, following someone, allows me to manage my account, which makes the whole on-line chat process infinitely more enjoyable. Most members that I follow, I have either met or intend to meet in the future, and or communicate with frequently off site. Sort of a community within a community.

Provided the member you're following has their online status checked in the privacy settings.

But it makes your handsome icon show up on my profile page.

I usually access the Forum on my phone. When I look at Members On Line, I don't think I receive any special notice of the individuals I'm following.

I'm not sure I understand BVB. How does following someone allow you to manage your account better?

Ditto the above.

 

I'm adding Gar1eth to my dance card in PS. (Note to self- rest up the week before PS.

Great to see Rosemary when she was thin, pretty, oh so talented, and not doing ads for toilet paper.

The first time I got an Alert that said "X is following you," I looked around quickly, thinking it was a quiet warning from my CIA handler.

It means you're a stalker, pretty much. That's how it usually works out anyway.

 

The entire social media ecosphere is basically engineered to make stalking acceptable.

I don't want to be a stalker.
