    Seriously! There are so many bees I would love to just follow on here but I have to look them up (and remember names and spellings... which I am terrible at!) in order to see what they have been up to lately! Anybody agree?

    i don't think i agree. i think then people would feel excluded.  like that thread where people were naming who they would want to be friends with - no harm done in there, but as some pointed out, there was potential for it.

    i like to think of weddingbee as one big facebook and you are ALL on my friend list! plus the people i would maybe "follow" are the ones that post most often, thats how i get to know them.  so sometimes when i see them, i click on their profile and scroll through their recent posts to see what they have been up to!

    I think it would be great to be able to follow certain Bees, but I wouldn't want it to be exclusive like having friends would be

    @Koala Bear: I agree and I think they should not make it public who someone follows.

    @MaiFuture:  ya i like that kind of idea more.  like we could follow for our own interest, but it wouldn't be like we have a "friend" list or anything

    @PurpleUnicorn:Well, not everybody has to see who you are following or are friends with. It can be a private thing just for the user. I know it would atleast make my life easier even if it were private! I can see how it could cause jealousy though or people adding people just to up their friend list.

    Yeah, I dunno... I definitely wouldn't want it to be visibly public.

    If there's somebody I want to follow up with they usually have enough posts that they show up in a recent thread every day, or I have a PM in my inbox that I can click through to get to their posts.

    I would rather have some sort of system where you could be notified when someone replies to you on a post.

    @FutureMrsMcDermott: I'd rather have both! But if a choice is required, I go with the reply notification.

     

    But following certain people would be nice, like date twins or people that are doing a theme similar to mine or that I relate to.

    @FutureMrsMcDermott: Agreed. Sometimes I don't come back to a thread for a long time, or ever, because I've gone on to others and it disappears down my list!

    I would like there to be a like button sometimes too there are times I like some peoples posts but don't want to thave to remark all the time to say so.  An update would be great.  I forget sometimes what I've posted to.

    I do agree with both posts about doing this or not.  It would be sorta nice but yes I can see issues with it too.

    @FutureMrsMcDermott: I agree on needing that too. It would get annoying when we are doing chats but otherwise, I would like to know! I am sure people have asked me questions or replied to posts and I still don't know about it.

    Is this sort of what you guys want?

    http://ideas.weddingbee.com/topic/networking-friend-other-bees

    I also think that other bees shouldn't know who you friend.  I think only you will know who you friend, so feelings don't get hurt and such.

    What would happen when you follow someone... where would you see all of the posts from users you are following, and what would the list of posts look like?

    I like this idea, especially if it was private for each user. 

     

    @mrbee: I don't know about anyone else, but I personally imagine this to be something where you can go to a certain bee's profile and click a link to "follow" them. Then in your own profile it can keep a list of the bee's you've added and it can show when their most recent post was? Then you can click on whichever bee's name you want on your "follow" list instead of having to do a search for their name. Maybe? Just a quick thought. I'm sure someone will come up with a better idea.

    i think a follow or friend thing would be good. yes i like things from everyones wedding but at the same time i dont want to constantly be looking through vintage weddings if mines not. yes i can get good ideas from them but id rather follow someone with my same taste and ideas...

     

    i think it could be like a friends list only we could see so no one would feel bad. but it could just be a button in their profile  that we could click on. i used to be on baby-gaga.com and they had a think called a parentank which was like a friends list too. it could also say when they posted a new thread so we could look at those and ones they have added in the past. kinda how we see on the boards button on our profiles.

    @Jazziberry: That is what I was thinking! So yeah, pretty much like that. lol. It is just a way to keep track of the specific bees I am interested in. I would be the only one to see it so it would never end up in a "popularity" contest or anything like that.

    @FutureMrsMcDermott: I do like this idea, too.  I have 42 pages of threads I've commented on and I wish there was a button where I could sort my list by recently commented, so I could check back.  This would be really important for threads you started months ago.

    I am also still really hoping for the reply notification feature to pop up. That would be awesome as well. I think both of these things would help further the networking capabilites of the bee.

    Well, I looked and I don't think there is currently an idea for the sorting of threads we've commented on.  So I made one. 

    http://ideas.weddingbee.com/topic/sorting-threads-ive-commented-on

    A reply notification system would be great but it sounds more difficult because there is probably going to have to be a software of some sort to keep tabs on all of the threads.

    Sorting might be easier to have done.
