I will admit this may already exist and I am just blind or oblivious. Would it be possible to add a filter to the forums for accounts you follow? Where the only content you would see is those you follow.

I like the idea of filtering whole sections of the site so you could just see stuff from the people you follow. I think it's better than a black box algo that chooses what you see. At this time though, I don't think it's technically feasible here. Some people follow tons of people, and maybe I'm not smart enough to put together queries efficient enough to not kill the server on each page load Might actually work if our format was "feeds" like everywhere else, which is something on my backburner already. Thanks for the suggestion

Of course. I was thinking of the site more like an excel sheet. Where you could choose to sort by the thread starter.

It really is a glorified Excel spread sheet. Would being able to sort by the thread starter actually be useful? You'll still see posts from everybody, not just who you follow....
