XF 1.2 The follow function

[vexx]

I haven't really used the follow function on my XF board but one of the members asked me what's its use since he doesn't recieves any alerts when he's following someone. So i've tested the function and indeed I can't find its uses. Besides the followed members appear in the "Members Online Now" tab, is there any other use? Can the followers get activity alerts?

I'm not sure if I missed something
