How to Use the "Follow" Feature

[Jim]

I keep getting questions about this feature, so I thought I'd explain how it works.

On a large and busy forum like this one, keeping up with posts can be a challenge. With thousands of new posts daily, it's easy to miss something important. Maybe you're following someone's travel adventures through Morocco, enjoying Old Mo's jokes, or keeping up with a rally marshal who organises meets in Scotland.

To make it easier, we have a Follow feature. When you follow someone, all their posts will appear in your News Feed, ensuring you never miss an update or anything they post.

Where's My News Feed?
On any machine, click on your avatar top right and a dropdown appears. The first item is News feed

Or simply bookmark this link My News Feed

If someone follows you, it's nothing sinister, it means they're interested in what you share; which is exactly why we post, right?

How to Follow Someone

 

[Jim]

The Follow Feature is completely transparent. If you click on a users' name or Avatar, then click on the "About" tab at the bottom you'll see who the user follows, and who follows them.

How do you see who is following you?
Used to be easy but can't find it now.

This has got to be scam thread! We'd better Report it to the gaffer.

Who, in their right mind, would be following / enjoying the Auld Yin's old-mo guff?

A good example of a paradox!

It's the same, click on your own name or avatar, then choose the About tab.

Anyone noticed they are being followed?

I'm obviously doing something wrong 'cause when I click my name this is what opens. No "About" tab.

Is there an IDIOTS version of the instructions?
