Follow and ignore member features…

[daveonbass]

What exactly do the “follow” and/or “ignore” member features do?

“ignore” seems to just block anything that member posts, right? If they post something on a listing you have it would show say “1 reply”, but you couldn’t see it until and unless you take them off the “ignore” list, right?

not sure what “follow” does…

Follow just gives you notifications when that user posts something new.

Am I right that “Follow” only flags new original posts by the user you follow, and not replies to existing threads?
For example, I “follow” @agedhorse, but I don’t get notifications for when he posts replies to a thread created by someone else.
Which is a shame, because I’d like to see threads in which he has posted.

Same question.
I'm not sure the "Follow" feature still works at all.
I'm following someone, but don't get notifications at all, even for new threads.
Thanks.

I've wondered about this too, because I do get some follow notifications, but not nearly all I should. Never looked into which ones, probably seeing the same thing you are...

Anything new on this matter please @paul ?
I'm actually "following" someone, but don't get any notifications at all.
I'd like to get notifications when he posts new threads, for example.

Thanks, and have a Great New Year!

Hi Francois, AFAIK, the follow function only puts activity onto your news feed (https://www.talkbass.com/account/news-feed). If you bookmark that, you can get a run-down of people you follow and all their activity including likes.

Cool, thanks Paul!
Bookmarked!

An empty thread.

So - the "follow" feature has been explained. Can I assume my explanation of the "ignore" feature was correct, then?

Yes.
Also of note, if someone you ignore has the most recent post in a thread, when you are scrolling the list of threads, in the far right where it shows who posted last in that thread, it will show as 'Ignored Member'.
You'll also have the option at the bottom of each page in the thread on the right to click on 'Show Ignored Content'.

Where do I find the Follow / Ignore settings?

Click on the Username, and in the popup window, check at the bottom left for Follow and Ignore buttons.
