    What does this really do? I don't notice anything different fromthe people I 'follow' vs. those I do not? If this has been covered in the past, I do apologize...

    Cheers!

    They receive a quiet notification of your sketchy personality, resulting in them becoming wicked skeeved out.

    If you follow someone they will show up on your news feed. I never look at my news feed so I don't follow anyone.

    Upper right hand corner of your screen should have your username and an arrow, click the arrow, one of the options should be "your news feed"

    The dropdown box at your BA name next to the inbox icon. I use it all the time to stalk people I follow. ;-)

    I'm new here and didn't know the protocol so I started following some local guys. Probably weirded them out.

    I see, thanks. Yeah, I followed a few people and didn't see any difference. Never checked my news feed before.

    No worries, follow who you want. If you think they post interesting stuff etc. it's fine. Some will follow you in return and some won't. I follow a few brewers and get some cool updates now and then. I also follow a few asshats/friends---not sure why. :sunglasses:

    As mentioned in a previous thread on this topic, it's mainly for personal news feeds, however we'll be extending this for many other uses with the site redesign. You can also use it to easily see if your friends are online; see Members Online on the main forum page.
