Follow User BBCode

Followuser User Follow Worlds BBCode Widgets

What functionality is missing?

  We are missing BBCode to place a Follow User button anywhere in our world similar to the follow world button. In many cases the reader is inspired by the content to follow a user but then, needs to click back to the home page and then click away to follow that user. Some users enable the author showing withing the article but this is rare and still requires a click away to follow the user. Or bitter sweet, they keep reading because they love this and forget to follow the user.
 

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  We are requesting BBCode so a user may place a button to be followed anywhere in their worlds, similar to their follow world button.   This could be available in the World Configuration > World Widget section for placement, as the most common use case would be a user working in their world.
 

What are other uses for this feature request?

  I imagine our users will come up with all kinds of combinations on how and where to place these follow user buttons. This also allows a reader to follow a user with ease while staying immersed within the world.   Thank you

Follow up


I am blown away by the positive feedback, votes, coins, comments from the community! Thank you.   Thank you for considering this. I am saddened that the profile page I was planning can not reach its full extent without a follow user. But I will move on to something else.

The Team's Response

I will not be doing that BUT I will make the user link much better and it will allow amongst other things to follow a user from the place the link was encountered

    Having a 'Follow user' (Perhaps 'Follow Author' instead?) button would be very useful for both the author and followers. I'd add statistics so an author could know what article/s have triggered a follow, too.

    This would be amazing. Especially if it had the capacity to ALSO automatically follow all worlds they created as well (either as an additional option or as an inbuilt feature) because I hate having to track down and individually follow each world of an author that I'm interested ON TOP OF the author when I wind up really loving their work.

    I agree something like this would make it easier on the viewer to comeback to there followed articles or authors.

    This would be great! I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, though. Nevertheless, thank you for suggesting! <3 God bless.

    I never would have thought about this, until NaNoWriMo, when I was trying to garner more followers and make more friends, and THIS was all I wanted. To place a single button to follow me on pages where I was talking to others and connect.   Please, please, **please** make this happen!
