Welcome to the TravelPod forums

Hi ramblingrover,

I think this was posted somewhere else in the forums, but this problem is actually already fixed!! horay!

If I add you as a "Favourite", I am asked if I want to "Subscribe" to your updates. If I "Subscribe" I'm added to your Address Book.

Once I'm in your address book, you have complete control over whether I receive the update or not because I appear as a regular person in your Address Book.

So on and entry by entry basis you can choose to send to everyone or just certain people.

To stop a "Fan" from receiving updates, completely just go to your Address Book and you'll see a little envelope icon next to users who have Subscribed.


Hope that makes sense!

I'm glad this topic came up. I've always been a little confused about the "Fans" vs. "Favorites" since the new change. Not what each means, but that it seems like the lists are flipflopped.

When I look above at travelmonster's list, I'm on the "Favorites," but I know I signed up to be her fan (i.e. to subscribe to her blogs) but I don't show up there. ???

Also, when I look at my own lists, it has always seemed backwards to me.

Does it seem like this to anyone else?

If I say a *Favorite* is one of your favorite bloggers (thus you would have subscribed to his/her/their blog)......and a *Fan* is a fan of yours (thus he/she/they subscribed to your blog)...does that help?

Someone on your *Favorites* list would mean that you subscribed to his/her/their blog.

A *Fan* on your Dashboard means it's someone who signed up to be your *Fan*.

So if blogger X signs up to be your *Fan*...he will show up as a *Fan* on your Dashboard.

I don't want to confuse the issue but on X's Dashboard you will show up as one of his *Favorites*.

Cheers!

Hmmm, so how do I get rid of a favourite?

[ericlussier]

Hi Scott!

There's a little X next to each of your Favourites on your Dashboard. A simple click and that member will no longer be one of your Favourites.

Hi Eric

Thanks for your reply but I want to actually delete fans from my dashboard rather than just not email them.

Thanks for looking into it again though

Hi,

Fans cannot be deleted. Those are people who have decided to follow your trip and we have ensured that you know who they are.

They could easily follow your travels without your knowing about it but this way, you at least, see who they are.

However, if you click on their name it should take you to their TravelPod main page. I just tested the ones that are on your account and that is what happens with everyone of them.

On the side of your favorites it seems that you have not selected any and the ones that are displayed are the sample ones we place there to show you what a list of favorites looks like. Once you start selecting some you will have your own ones show up there and you will be able to delete them if you want to.

Cheers!

Hi there

Thanks for your reply.

I realise that there are many ways that someone can follow my trip without my knowing but my main reason for removing them is that I haven't heard from them in quite some time and do not wish to have their name cluttering up my space. If they choose to follow it then that's fine but I don't need to be reminded of their presence.

I realise you would have many more more important things to do but it would be great if you could allow users more control over who links to their accounts.

Thanks again
