Follower Posts

[Jason Miller]

I have 7 people I am following on this board. I read everything they post. Currently I am clicking on their name individually to find their recent posts on their profile.

Is there a way to have all the posts from folks I am following come up on one page?

Jason -
This is something we've considered, but to execute it in practicality is a serious challenge, if you're talking about forum posts.

Think about it . . . how could we show you the forum post of someone you follow or are colleagues with without showing the entire thread? What if that thread is 18 pages long and your person posted on page 3? Would we only show their post? Out of context, it would make little sense. If we just pointed you to the page that their post was on, you'd lose the first pages of the thread. We examined this issue extensively and decided that it wasn't something that could be implemented in a manner that would have any value.

That said, you can quickly and easily see all forum posts from any user by going to:

http://www.biggerpockets.com/posts/user/USERNAME

Most power users of the site typically keep an eye on their dashboard forum feed to see those topics that have come up of interest to them, or if interested in a particular user, go to the page with all their posts.

That all said, if the brain trust here has some kind of solution to the forum issue I described above, I'm more than happy to listen.

Thanks for the post -- I tried to answer as best I could.
