Web [SUGGESTION] When following someone

TeamTMS · May 22, 2020

Hi there,
When you follow someone, in both their profile or from their profile card, a "Your changes have been saved" 3-second title appears at the top of the screen. This does not happen in the old forums, only in the Beta forums (I was almost going to mark it as a bug).
My suggestion is that this should be removed, because it is pretty obvious that when the button changes from "Follow" to "Unfollow" that you are following them, and I don't think people need to be alerted that it has been saved.

When following someone from their Profile Card:

It can maybe be changed to 'You (un)followed <username>!'

Possibly, but I just don’t see the point in it. Like I mentioned, when a “Follow” button turns to “unfollow,” that should be enough notice that you’re following them.
Thanks anyways.

As far as I know, both those things will not be possible due to limitations in xenforo (forum software)

Changing the "Phrase" Your changes have been saved would affect all notification with that same text, as it's just one phrase for all actions.

And It simply cannot be removed due to it being hard coded into xenforo.

I don't think this should be considered, but I do think it could be a good idea after the Team investigates bugs and stuff that should be way majorly fixed than a text that does not really have a point. I honestly think it's a good idea, though the Forums just arrived with all the problems possible. Shortly, they need to focus on more major stuff to fixed, at the moment.
