  Follow button doesn’t work.

  It only _seems_ to work.

  Clicking it switchs button label to “following”. But the blog does not appear in Follow List (de.wordpress.com/#!/read/edit/).
  When reloading the blog, the button label says “follow”, which also means follow mode is off.

  Only in the Follow List the follow function works

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I confirm that it does not work for me using Firefox 18.0. 2 and have tagged this thread for Staff help. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  @TT – Thank you.

  It’s a little annoying, because it’s not 100% clear how to reproduce.

  Hi, It doesn’t work after clearing the cache (with Firefox). I’ve also tried with Safari and it doesn’t work either.

  I am having this problem too after I noticed that a blog I just followed is not in my blog list. Returning to the blog the “+follow” option is available which I clicked on again, to change to following, although re-freshing the blog returns the “+follow” option at the top of the screen. Obviously I cannot tell how long this has been going on for…
