Neikos 968 August 5, 2012 Share August 5, 2012 So we have this rather useless friend thingy right now. ( I say useless because Status Updates are not really for a Forum ) So why not add a way we can get notified if a friend posts a thread? Chances are we will reply to it. ( Friends often have the same interests than you. ) Just something that I thought off. 8 I love you! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 August 5, 2012 Share August 5, 2012 (edited) It would be nice to have an option on everyone's profile that allows you to follow their posts. I wouldn't like a general option, like those for status updates, that makes you follow the posts of all of your friends, but it would be useful if we had one's for individuals. Also, it would be nice to have it like this for status updates too. I'd like to be informed of some of my friends' status updates, but I can't keep up with all of them without my notifications getting flooded.

Jokuc 8,174 August 5, 2012 Share August 5, 2012 Yeah like a way to follow certain members and see when they make new theads and maybe even get a notification when they post in a certain thread? This way it will become much easier to stalk people.. I mean.. to read their interesting posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that will be a problem, as you can actually control who you friend. 1 I love you! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not going to bring it up as a problem, I just mentioned it in my post to make it more comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nouth 496 August 5, 2012 Share August 5, 2012 Also, it would be nice to have it like this for status updates too. I'd like to be informed of some of my friends' status updates, but I can't keep up with all of them without my notifications getting flooded. Agree, I'm in the same situation, I have many users I want to have in friend list yet they are so hyperactive at posting updates so they flood me up. If I could pick several instead, I would be a lot happier Splendid siggy by Chaotic Dischord, awesome avatar by Suntouched Coco!Ask me anything you want !

False Perception 482 August 5, 2012 Share August 5, 2012 Due to recent events, it might be wise NOT to joke about such matters. In any case, I support all views expressed in the posts above.

Dave247 568 August 9, 2012 Share August 9, 2012 I have had this same idea for some time. I have to manually check each friend's new topics to see of they have started any new topics and the problem is that most days I forget to. A individual follow user function like we have for threads could also be a possibility.

Neikos 968 August 31, 2012 Author Share August 31, 2012 How about we get an update on this? This is a shameless bump that should not have existed in the first place, thus those who should have replied shall feel shameful. I love you! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Light Diamond 2,803 August 31, 2012 Share August 31, 2012 I'm liking this idea, but the only flaw is that some people have like 140 friends so that would fill your inbox pretty quickly, so what everyone else is saying seems like a good idea have chosen ones where you will get their status updates and know when they have posted a new topic, I am just repeating what everyone else is saying, So yes I think this is a very good idea.

Mindrop 412 August 31, 2012 Share August 31, 2012 I would love a feature I could Follow Brisineo (Old friends, not stalker. I like to keep up with his theories, and he always has some interesting insights into everything. hehehe). Well, that is my input. I would live this feature! Tulpas: Twi, Reales, & Orson.

Juggler 345 August 31, 2012 Share August 31, 2012 That is a great idea. However I don't think that it would be good to receive all of your friends updates. It can be too much to handle for some people with lots of friends. I would suggest that we put a little button on every persons profile page where you can choose if you want to follow every post that this person makes or every topic. Because some people can be fun to follow, but aren't exactly friends with you. There are people that makes really interesting posts that you want to follow, but you haven't even talked with. Then it would be rather silly to "friend" them just to be able to follow their posts. But of course if someone would like some privacy you could maybe choose not to let other than friends, or even anyone be able to follow your posts (the reason for that I cannot understand, but I guess that some people can feel a little bit uncomfortable with people reading every single post they post.)

мσℓт 40 September 1, 2012 Share September 1, 2012 Oh Celestia help us. Bravo. You have just reached about 20% closer to Discord and his chaos. But that's great! So I'll give you a little brohoof. *brohoof* But anyway. No this simply cannot do at all. Imagine this in your head for a minute. A normal forum member has like 504 friends or more. And all are active. That will be too much notifications. Might lag. Sorry but I don't support. The peaceful side that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna creates and the fun side of disorder caused by Discord. Have some fun in your life and be like Discord or you'll just be bored all the time. ~Molt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minkeey 10 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I think it's a useful idea, But i wouldn't say the 'Friend status update' thing is useless. Everything is here for a reason, But nobody knows all of them xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
