Edit: works like a charm now. 5/5 initially but now with new stackexchange update it seems there's no more follow option...?

There's no "Follow" option in the "Profile" tab at the Stackoverflow user's page. It's a trick, change for the "Activity" tab.

I just found this and was thrilled that I could follow users. And then that feature broke. It would be nice if you did have to log in so it could save your information so that if you wanted to try re-installing it to see if the follow problem was fixed, your data would still be there.
