I wondered if someone can help me out, not used to forums and feeling very dim at the moment I got an alert (it took a while to sort that out too lol) that someone is following me, what is it and do I follow back and how? Yes told you it was a dim question.
It's not a dim question. Basically IMO when someone follows you they like your post/are extending a hand in friendship. You do not have to follow anyone if you don't want to. If you do want to follow someone just click the " Follow" on their profile. Hope that helps some.
"Following" you just means they get alerts when you create threads, comment on posts, post photos or videos etc. If you follow them, it'll do the same for you. You only follow them if you want though.
