Greetings and salutations everyone

[smoothseas]

Brand new member here and have been spending the afternoon scrolling through this forum.

I have quick question. If you wanna ‘follow’ a poster, where do you click to do it?

tia for any and all input

Hi smoothseas. Welcome to this amazing forum

In order to follow a poster, click on their username

and that will take you into their profile page.

In the upper right hand corner you will see "following"

I'm glad you're here with us xx

[smoothseas in reply to Agora1]

Thanks for the warm welcome and for your prompt response. I tried clicking on this particular member’s name - but the only two options available were ‘message’ and ‘report.’

Just to be sure. I randomly clicked on a few other user names and the ‘follow’ option was definitely there.

Too bad, ‘cause in reading some of her post history, I felt an instant kinship.

I wonder if there’s some way one can opt-out of collecting followers?

[Agora1 in reply to smoothseas]

You know I didn't think there was a way to opt out.

But then again, I'm not the best person to ask.

Hopefully someone will see this and help you out.

Have you tried writing to this person on CHAT?

That's located at the top of the page..

[smoothseas in reply to Agora1]

I've been on some forums that have an opt-out / ignore feature, but since I've only just joined, I'm still to the far-left of the navigational curve here.

I appreciate your checking back and I'm considering messaging this gal, and most probably will in the not so dim and distant future. Work on developing a presence here first, so as not to seem predatory.

Just noticed that you have a personalized avi. That's another feature I'm gonna have to ferret out. How to change the assigned avi

[Agora1 in reply to smoothseas]

I just lucked out on my name. Since I was Agoraphobic for 5 years,

it just seem to fit.

I'm glad you're a part of our virtual family. xx

*blushing*

...but I was referring to your customized avitar, not your user name : )

[Agora1 in reply to smoothseas]

That was what the site gave me.

[smoothseas in reply to Hidden]

Thx, I’m hopin’ so, too.

Diversity is definitely good. It makes this planet a way better place.

I’m impressed to see that the forum seems to be fairly active. And, I’m thanking the Google gods for leading me here.

Or, perhaps that was serendipity?

Any way, I’m glad to have jumped aboard.
