follow/fan/buddy

first of all it seems kinda wrong that people click a "follow" button but the message will be they became a fan, not a follower!

but I was gonna ask: what does it do at all? where is the difference? where exactly can I see what the people I follow are doing, or my buddys? cant figure it out right now....

is the feature of people I follow or buddies being online gonna be back at some point?

and when I add the journal it says "An error occurred: Internal Server Error" but its still gonne be posted!

QuoteThe word "fan" has already been renamed to "follower", as this is basically what it does. You "follow" a person you like. We love our buddies system and won't change it, but on the other hand we also want to implement functionality that in our opinion can work great with a gaming community like Crossfire. For example many people want to know what mAus does on Crossfire. Any journal he creates is statistically a huge activity catalyst. Why not offer people an option to follow users such as mAus and get notified every time they create content? Of course you're completely free to ignore this feature, no harm done. Yet it would seem quite cool to find on your profile that 20 people are following you on Crossfire. You don't only gain pretty much assured activity on your content in terms of comments, but also nice bragging rights to the other users :)

Parent
sssssssssssssssssshut up my chain my chain MY Fucking chain!!!!!!!!!! :)
Parent
YOUR CHAIN! MY PRECIOUUUUUUS
Parent
yea but i replied to saskia :P
Parent
hmm so why am i following people already when i have only just logged in and vice versa??
Parent
that seems to be a result of the old buddies, when people added people but werent added back.

eg.: if I had added you to my buddylist but you didnt add me, I'd be a follower of you. no clue why.
Parent
Not always the case though, even people who are already in your buddies are in the lists too (e.g. I'm in Parzi's followers but still at top list thing:c)
Parent
maybe she started following you after new site was up?
Parent
I was in the follow/following list already x)

Apparently I was following 28 people had to click every one of them to unfollow :<
Parent
same here :x :P
Parent
but beeing a follower and a buddy isnt that weird?? weird strange things happen here
Parent
I have a bunch of people that I added and who added me upon return, but I'm still their follower.

Maybe it has also to do with the fact that they haven't been active in years, I dunno.
Parent
with those 700+ people thats from the time you still added everyone and they added you back. but you removed them from the list, they didnt, so they are followers now.
Parent
I'm talking about the people I am following.
Parent
the people you follow now werent your buddies on cf. you had them in ur buddies, they didnt. if you open the page you wont be on their buddylist, but you are listed as their follower
Parent
i i follow i folllow riiiiiiiivers <3 my new hymne now every time ill see the word follower on cf :Dddd
Parent

its not working. you dont get a msg when the one u follow is doing a journal. tested this. failed.
Parent
first u replay in my chain, now u read my bug and instead of doing it urself u tell me what to do??!

not nice not nice
Parent
I'm not going to report every bug you experience am I?
Plus, you're the one experiencing that specific bug, so you should be the one reporting it.
Parent
so why even mentioning then if it would not take u much more time to just coopy paste the error. do smth goood for the community !!!!

hahahaha serious business btw :P:P:P
Parent
So at least you learn something out of it?
Not sure if serious or hating me :(
Parent
I NEVER HATE ANYONE ON CF ???!! guess u should know that alrdy everyone knows that and mostly im not even serious on here. i just like to spam and confuse the ppl :DDd

and wtf i knew this fact before. whatevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Parent
this doesnt really answer anything, does it? but if I get it right, you can follow people, but at least for now, that doesnt offer you anything so far?

I think the profile looks quite ugly already with a long buddylist, now I will have to add my buddys to the follower list aswell, and if they follow back I have 3 lists of 200 people? mhmm..... can already see my mousewheel dying xD
Parent
to say it with gokus words. use narrow up and down instead. i call this a great improvement :DDDDdd
Parent
look at my fucking followers omg
FOLLOW ME, I FOLLOW BACK.

4x4 LIKE 4x4
if i post here can i see what i have in my profile pic
You can choose to have either avatars (profile pics) or flags like on the old CF in your account settings
Parent
it is pretty shitty :-/
how can i unfollow some1?
it works like that:
you add someone as your buddy, but he doesent add you back :p
so you "follow" him/her

only option is to delete him/her
Parent
Holy shit, i can see my own picture.
100 followers, jelly?
SEAREAL IS MY FAN
