I would like for my users to not only friend a person from the popbox but also follow them.

I went to the ES Documentation Site for Developers to find the code there (vs. dig through template files) and found that the Follower Documentation is referencing the Friends documentation. See here: http://docs.stackideas.com/developers/html/followers

Please address this issue and consider adding a Follow button to the popbox in a future release.

Thanks,
James
