User Following and Contact bug

So, something I'd love to see within this site, is the ability to follow runners. You can follow specific games, which is fantastic, but sometimes, you want to see all the games a specific runners plays.

Maybe I follow someone on Twitch, but can't be there to watch all the time. And would like to know when they get a new PB or WR, so I can go and congratulate them. But if I'm not following the specific games that runner is playing, I wouldn't be notified until I was able to watch them on Twitch, maybe a week or two later.

It would be very beneficial to everyone if you could follow the runners you really like watching but can't spend every waking moment stalking their Twitch. Please make this happen.

[To the web devs: I wanted to report a bug with your contact link (why I'm posting this in the forums instead of contacting you guys directly). Currently, if I click on the "Contact" link, nothing happens. I can see in the HTML that it's supposed to send a user to their email with the address "contact@speedrun.com" but I was unable to locate the "fa fa-at" class in the CSS to determine what the cause might be, as the HTML looks good. Anyhow, thought I'd point this out to you.]

That would be amazing. I hate it personally when I'm in a chat and see people talking about a WR run and I had no clue. Would be a great feature to add. I try to follow as much as I can, but sometimes you miss out on some things from your favorite runners.

It could also be a good way to check out games you never would have seen otherwise. "Apollo just ran (game name), I've never heard of that one before. Let me check out the board."

Very good point! So many runners play many different games from what I'm aware of, until I look them up and see the list. I've actually found a couple really neat games just by checking out some runners I watch. So you're dead on with that point.

I believe this has been planned for a long time. It's just a matter of time I guess.

That's great to hear! A very welcomed addition to the site for certain! Thank you
