    I've just discovered that profile pages on this forum have a "follow" button. What does it do? Does it give me notifications everytime this member posts something? If so i think it'd be useful to follow the uber guys.

    Thanks!

    As far as I know it only makes it easier to see if the person is online or not.

    That and there added to Your News Feed which is found on the top right corner by clicking on your handle.

    That news feed is pretty useless, IMO.

    It would be nice if we were given notifications that people we follow have commented in threads.

    So it does not give notifications if the person replied in a topic here?

    I think clicking "watch thread" will do that. But it'll be for every post no matter who posted it.

    True - but I suppose if you remember to check your news feed every so often it fulfils more or less the same purpose?

    You're absolutely right, it does.

    But it requires effort.

    And I am very lazy.
