Followers

[GaryM]

What is the purpose of following another member? I've got a couple of follower requests and wondered what the point is of following a person rather than a conversation.

[Bowler]

I’ve had one too Gary 🤷♂️

[denise]

And me. I thought it a bit creepy. I would like to point out I haven't requested to stalk anyone 😈

[Bowler]

I should have said I accepted the request to see what happened.

[denise]

So did I. Can't recall who it was from.

I believe some people enjoy a persons posting and don't want to miss any. I think there's a few on here like that 😊x

What is the purpose of following another member?

Not a whole heap if you're a regular user of the Forum, TBH. But if you're an occasional user, you may not have the energy, nor time, to trawl through lots of posts/threads, you may just want to see what's in your Subscribed tab for starters.

You can also, for example, limit your PMs to only subscribers (followers) or access to photo albums.

Love Ellie.

I think it's a bit clearer now. Thanks all.

[Graham]

Damn your witty comments and funny videos! I was under pressure!

That Graham is a right little 😈

[Bowler]

Graham thanks for sharing that link, I’d forgotten how good that program was. That’s sorted my viewing for the text few days 👍

As a newby on this forum, I saw a Request pop up in the Notifications box at the top. Not really knowing what it was for, I clicked on it, and then, nothing...
Is that a "Follower".

[denise]

Yeah. It's a bit odd I know 🤔

[Bowler]

Ellie’s explanation made good sense to me
