      I've added a few people, including some RouteXperts, I'd like to follow as friends but from what I can tell this doesn't actually do anything. I'd expect it to bookmark them in my account so I can easily find their shared routes and possibly I'd like to know that it has sent some sort of invite for them to connect with me on the platform.

      Can anyone clarify what the feature is supposed to do or if there is another way of following RouteXpert users?

      Thanks!

        You get a notifivation as a friend completed a track

        Een dag niet gelachen is een dag niet geleefd / A day without laughter is a day wasted
        Een route is net zo goed als deze uitgezet is. / A route is only as good as it has been plotted.

          Hi @mattatron. Your friends that have accepted your invite will appear on the left side of the route editor. And as well as what Hans said above about receiving track notifications from friends, you can choose to set route privacy to friends allowing only you and your friends to see certain routes. You sent me a friend request which I have just accepted, I noticed that you don't have any About Me information on your profile. It's always nice to read a little about other members, why not add a few lines about what sort of riding you enjoy. Add where you live too, not your address, but just the basic region, this can lead to meeting up with others in your area or who share your interests. By the way, I've just left a comment on your South East Coast route to Whitstable track 😇

          Always willing to help if I can.

            @Nick-Carthew I have added a friend to my list and even though the friend can show me they have accepted the request and I am showing on their page, I can't see them on mine?

              @Ian-Street I’ve no idea why they are not showing in your friends list if they have accepted your request 🤷🏻‍♂️
              Try refreshing your browser and check again.

                  @Ian-Street If your friend has accepted your request, there should be no reason why you can't see them on the left of your (PC) screen on your home page. Do you have the left column open?
