When you click on a user's profile, there should be a button that says "follow" to follow the user or "following" so you can click to unfollow. Seems simple and easy. It would make the Q&A much more appealing to those of us who are new to the tech world.

Simplest solution is to hover over the user name here and click to Follow / Unfollow

I guess what I am asking is how does a new user know they need to hover. If I see your name and just immediately click on it (most intuitively) your profile appears but there is no follow/unfollow button.

A new user or person without a technical background wishes to use Microsoft products without having to read through extensive "How to"s or "Q&A"s Microsoft should strive to be more like Apple in making their product very user friendly. When you are handed an iPhone for the first time, there is no instruction guide, you simply start using it and Apple guides you through the process.

If you find this process unclear then please provide a solution that you feel might be more helpful. This is what the team came up with and they won't change it unless there are better options presented. Adding a bunch of extra links or something on the UI might be more helpful but then clutters the UI which adds to the difficulty of learning it. If you have a better solution then please share your feedback so it may become actionable.
