The subscription display on member profiles should be divided up in content subscriptions (channels and topics) and member subscriptions (followers). This way you would have a subscriptions tab + following tab + followers tab (see attachment). This would give a much better overview, and also make more sense to the average user.
In vb5 beta13, subscribers page show all kind of subscriptions such as subscribed members, subscribed topics, and subscribed cannels (forums, blogs, groups). This is a little messy when both subscribed content and subscribed members are put together.
And it doesn’t make it better that the subscribers page only show subscribed members and not all 3 subscription types as in the subscribers page. If subscriptions show both members, topics and sections, then users would also expect to find all 3 subscription types under subscribers.
I think it would make a lot more sense to separate the overview of subscribed content and subscribed members. And it should be a little change since we are not changing the subscription architecture only dividing the display of subscriptions up in members and content. It would be a huge improvement, and give a much better and more user-friendly overview of subscriptions and followers.
