Do I have to follow all my friends?
Is following mutual or one way?
I wish I could "like" people. You know, so I don't have to follow people just because I like them. Or... if that makes sense. So that I could save contacts/friends... but don't have to be following their feed all the time - like if I have nothing going on with them at the moment. (Obviously I'm thinking of participation in events with different people at different times.)

And is it my browser or the forum that doesn't like the last letter of my username?
edit: I don't see that happening now. I don't know why.
edit: Yes, I see it happening again. I don't know why.

I like this saved draft thing a lot. OH how nice that is.

Also, I swear some of my "ignores" or deleted contacts/friends wound up on my follow feed. :eek: Is it possible that happened?

Do people get notified when you unfollow them?
 
Following is a one-way relationship, but can have implications for user interaction depending on your privacy settings. It's up to you to decide who you want to follow. Users are not notified when you unfollow them.

Long usernames wrapping to a second line is a documented bug and will be fixed soon. Ignored user's status updates do show in the status feed on the homepage sidebar. This is also a documented bug and will be looked at.
 
Okay thanks, I obviously haven't read through all of the treats. :O

Being able to "like" or "friend" other users without following their feeds would be a nice feature at some point. :D

And offering some kind of feed filtering options with premium would certainly sweeten the deal a lot. ;)


Edit: oops THREADS, not treats. LOL halloween slip?
 
Ah, you're in the elite usernametoolong group too. ;)
