what functionality is to follow users?
A doubt that I can not resolve with the tests, and I donĀ“t know if it just happens to me, what functionality is to follow users? I mean what in version 2.3.8 when I follow a user, I have no notifications of new questions from that user, or receive emails, or the question appears in subscriptions. I wonder if someone using this version can tell me how it works.
In tests with beta versions, for some reason or other, I don’t get to do the whole process, and I understand, because it is beta version.
Yes I receive emails with new questions asked about tags that I follow.
Let me describe, since 2.4 we have activity feed for user and whole site as well. When you follow a user and taxonomy term then you won’t get notification for every activity on that item instead you can see them in your activity feed.
Lets assume you follow a category and when 100 new question posted to that category then your notification will get spammed by this newly posted question.
Notification are meant for informing you when you really need to be informed, like new answer, comment, followers etc..
2.4 is stable now.
