Follow a Member

Stay updated on posts and activity from your favorite users by following them.

We’ve listened to your feedback, and I’m excited to bring this highly requested feature to Overgrow.

Adding a My Feed link to the sidebar

I’d also suggest adding a link to the Feed in the sidebar.

To do this, click the plus icon at the bottom of the sidebar.

A dialog box titled Add Custom Section will pop up. I added “Favorites” as the section title, then entered “My Feed” for the name and /my/follow/feed for the link (you can directly copy+paste it).

After that, just click Save.

The new link will appear in the sidebar, giving you quick access to your Feed of followed members.

I tend to read all new posts, so I have not used this feature, but I can try it and get back to you if you like?

From what I see its working well. Its giving me notifications for every post the user makes and they are clearly marked so I know it’s someone I am following. I know it’s a feature folks have been asking for and it looks like you gave them a functional tool that does exactly what they were looking for. Great job Joe. :clap:

I love it.

I like to follow interesting people, then read their posts and threads they post in. They always lead me right to the most interesting conversations

Got an idea and I’m probably not the only one who have thought about it. But for us supporters, it would be awesome if we could get an flow(like the front page) of images that you could scroll through and find new exciting threads.

Love the new follow feature and it’s very useful!
