It is a feature of your ad blocker... If you turn off "Remove social media plug-ins" You will see the follow buttons.

Hi TaiPan,

Can you please share a screenshot of the author page you're seeing so I can suggest further action.
Thanks

I can't see the "follow" button either.  And I'm not willing to tamper with AdBlock; there is no easily-visible way to selectively allow ads on one site but not others, at least that I can see. . It was easy to follow authors before.  How is this a forward step?

It has to do with your filter lists. You can either change your filter list or selectively disable ad block for Seeking Alpha (not all site). See more here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/962235


My Adblock Plus dialogue boxes don't look like your examples. Nonetheless, after reading your support-mozilla link, I tried unchecking the "Fanboy's Social Blocking List" under "Filter preferences", which appears to have done the trick.

Adblock Plus doesn't seem to have this feature. However, if I turn off Adblock Plus, the "Follow" button re-appears. Unfortunately, I'm not prepared to have advertisements shoved in my face everywhere i go, nor am I prepared to have my browsing slowed to a crawl by the time it takes for ads to load, so it looks like I'll have to put up with limited functionality on Seeking Alpha and not add to the authors that I'm following. Thanks for pointing me towards the answer to this question.
