Follow button in member search; follow suggestions?

Hello again, all!

I have just migrated from JomSocial and am super-excited about the fact EasySocial lets users "Follow" other members and not just "friend" them! However, I'm having 2 issues that get in the way of getting my users on-board:

1) Member search listings: no follow button

I noticed both on my instillation and on your demo that the member listing pages (in all their various forms) have "friend" buttons, but no option to "follow" the user. I have enabled the "follow" function in general settings and as an app; is there some other setting I need to flip on for this to work?


2) Follow Suggestions widget: no members

I have also turned on the 'widget' to recommend members for the logged in user to follow, but it is displaying "no suggestions at this time." What logic does this widget use to make recommendations, and how can I make it start displaying members?

3) Hide "last logged in" message?

On a related note, is there a way to hide the "last logged in" string in user entries within the members list? We have a lot of members who have been inactive for a while; seeing that others have been inactive will only make it harder to reengage them!

Thanks, guys!!
