Hello,
Could you make it where if a user follows a user, that user is literally subscribed to all activity of that user?
I think this "follow" feature that is built into this software is under-rated and almost meaningless right now...
If I have people "following" me, they should be aware of any new thing I post - whether it is a NEW forum topic, blog, a continuation of a forum topic, blog comments, photo comments, video comments, etc....All of which, If that user is following me, should receive notifications of what I have done in their notifications area AND in the newsfeed.
Right now, this "follow" feature lacks this.
Sure its great that you have it where we can finally see who is following me, or who I am following, but whats the point of this if it really doesn't do much in terms of actually following me and/or I following someone. Right now, it just merely posts that activity of a person I am following in my newsfeed...It should do much more than that!
Hint plugin has Follow button. So your users will be able to start following others from any user list.
