XF 1.5 What happens when you "follow" someone?

[jauburn]

Is there a comprehensive list somewhere of things that result from "following" other users in xenforo? I searched but didn't find anything. Thanks.

1. User being followed gets an alert that someone has followed them
2. User being followed sees their follower on their profile
3. The follower now sees the user they follow in the online member list and on their profile and in the "People you follow" list
4. Activity from the user being followed appears in the "Your News Feed" list of the follower

I think that's all.

Super. Thanks.

Would be nice if you received alerts (maybe selectable at time of follow) when a member you follow creates a thread or posts a reply.

@melbo, in the meantime, either @Nobita.Kun or @Nobitakung--can't remember who--has an add-on that does this.

Indeed. I hadn't seen this resource.
