Hello again my SKMB friends...

I just noticed my profile posts are moderated as well... lol So can someone explain exactly what profile posts are for and who sees them? You basically have to click on someone's profile to see those posts , correct?
Do you have to be 'following' that member to see their profile and exactly what is following? Is it a creepy thing to follow members or just because you find them interesting?
What is the SKMB etiquette for following ?

"Following" people is kind of like being a "friend" on FB, I guess. It helps you to see messages posted by friends on the MB, as you will receive alerts for those posts.
The profile posts are an easy way to drop in on a buddy and say "hi", they can either answer you there, or make a reply on your own profile page--you will receive an alert either way.

I followed a thread. I don't think that I follow anyone. Or anyone follows me. Would I know?
I never get any kind of alert or anything.

Looking at your profile page you have 49 Followers and you are Following 38 members. (you can see this in a column below your profile picture on the left-hand side)
Do you ever click on the blue numbers above your Alerts button? (top right-hand side of the page)

So if you did not choose to follow someone, does it automatically do it for you (perhaps judging by how many 'likes' you have clicked:m_whatwhat:(and do not give me my stats SVP cuz I think I already know those :laugh::biggrin2: - thanks Flake! :angel:

I think the "Friends" you had on the old version of the board transferred to "Followers" on this one.
No, you have to actually click on the "Follow" button in their profile to be Following someone new with this software.
