If you would like to prevent anyone on you site from following members on your site, you can hide the "Follow User" links that appear on Member Profile pages and in the Member Snapshot by adding the following Custom CSS to your Display Settings.

 

 

#watchedUserSidebarDiv, #followUserUserDivAction { display:none; }

 

Copy and paste that code into the Custom CSS box in your Display Settings control panel, which can be found here:

 

Manage > Admin Control Panel > Settings > Display Settings

 

Once you add that custom CSS, the Follow Member links will no longer appear on your site.  Note that this also means that if someone is currently following a member, they will have no way to un-follow them, either.

While I agree that "following" was creepy, and I have added the custom CSS to turn it off (thanks)---I DO wish there was a way that as ADMIN I could follow certain posters.

 

"Following" had an administrative function too: A member of our Board was following me (the paid-admin) to keep track of what I was posting so she could report to the board that I was worth the BIG BUCK$    Now I will have to prove it otherwise.

This tip was just for people who might want to hide the Follow Member links entirely in the meantime.

I saw it last week, commented, and voted. I was just participating in the conversation here as well LOL

As an Admin, the follow feature IS a useful tool - for us as administrators, and for users who would like to be "in the know" with regard to Admin posts.

We had to hide it, because of the nature of our forum, combined with user complaints, but I still hold out hope that we won't have to resort to these lengths in the future!
