Hello, I was watching a Scratcher's project and I really loved it, making me want to follow the Scratcher. But there's a problem: I don't know how to follow them.
I Google searched how to follow someone and they said that there should be a blue button on the upper right corner of the Scratcher's profile page. I didn't see it at all.
Was the option to follow other Scratchers taken off after a certain update? Is there something I need to do? Or is it just a small bug in the system that can be fixed?

That's odd. Yes, the ability to follow scratchers is still there. I'm not sure why you can't. I'm going to ask for this topic to be moved to the bugs and glitches forum. For now, I would clear your cache and refresh the page to see if the problem persists.

What's odd about this is that a lot of scratchers seem to be reporting this too.

When I was new to Scratch I couldn't follow anyone either because there was no blue button. Definitely sounds like a bug.

I had this problem as well, seems to be a very old bug, or perhaps intentional?

But some new scratchers are indeed able to follow people, so it can't be related to which OS/browser you use tho

How long did it take until you were able to follow people?

If you have an ad blocker on, disable it. Tada- the follow button is now visible.

^^ Yes, this is usually the most common solution to this problem.

That can cause it, yeah. Fortunately, we don't run ads anyway. I'll move this to Bugs and Glitches.

There might be a bug.
