Suggestion - linking people

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Suggestion - linking people

Hi

Just a suggestion.

I think it would be nice if we could follow people and get notifications about their newest reviews.

Also, it would be nice if the website could also make suggestions of reviewers' pages with similar preferences to the readers. This could be done by comparing shelves. Maybe? And people would always have to "follow" another person to get notifications.

Hi,

If you click on the link to someone's reviews, you will see an option to compare your shelves to theirs.

It is possible to subscribe to topics. Following was suggested a long time ago, so I could make the suggestion again.

Thanks,

Alice

I would love to be able to follow certain reviewers and would be inclined to post a comment on their reviews if I see their recent reviews. Being followed would lead to more popularity and make some reviewers outstandingly popular in a genuine way.

I support this idea! I found some reviewers here that are so friendly and likable and I want to follow-through.

I definitely agree with this, especially as a new reviewer! Many of my friends don't read as much as I do, so I don't want to post my reviews on social media but would love to increase popularity of my reviews, and meet like minded people. I wonder if we should make a new forum of people who can become "friends" - if that's a thing on here? (Still getting my head around some of the functions!) 😊

In the future I'd love the ability to follow others!

Hi,

I think this is a great idea. Based on the comments from other reviewers, I have brought forth this suggestion to management. If you have another idea or function you would like to see included with this feature like this, please feel free to share them on this post. :)
