    Just wondering, would there be any appetite among on the powers that be for introducing such a feature akin to following someone on a social network but boards-specific?

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Ive been followed round boards.ie by posters before, trying to bully me (I think) by always showing up and disputing me and only me in a thread. Itd be very hard for it to be visible unless someone else was posting in exactly the same threads. I put them on Ignore. Id rather not have life made easier for such idiots tbh.

    I hadn't thought of that. You can block specific users though.

    You could try suggesting it in the Site Development forum. There's a thread tag for 'Feature Suggestion'.

    To be honest, I'd imagine that there's other more important stuff for the limited cash to be spent on. Particularly when you can go to a poster's profile, on to the Statistics tab & click "Find all posts by..."

    Yeah, fair enough. Just a thought...

    Good idea though.. Would open up a higher cross flow of traffic.. Perhaps a "find more posts from this member" button beside the quote/report/thank buttons

    I'm on touch.. In fact, that screen shot is the first I've seen that signature in a long while!! Must get rid, daft altogether!

    Cheers

    What does that actually do though?

    People can just view your last posts in about 5 seconds by searching your name and going to your profile or clicking on your profile name beside your posts.

    Exactly, I'd rather not have life made easier for such folk by removing that 5 second delay.
