Hi @ianm I was trying this out and am having an issue. Following users works fine. When unfollowing, it appears to work, but as soon as the page is refreshed or user moves to another post / page the follow on the user remains. Basically I am unable to have unfollow work properly. Any ideas?

@ianm I love this extension. It enable me follow someone that post interesting stuffs.

Is it possible to add a modal can be added under users to list all users that the current logged in user follows.
And another to list all users following the current logged in user.

ianm

Ffuser1 yes, this is planned when I have the time

Hello, excellent extension !
On my instance (Beta 16 with FOF-Follow tag actived before), only Admin's user can use this new function.
I've tried many permissions, is it only for me ?
