Why can't I unfollow a person?
I clicked on unfollow and when I go to this person's profile page it appears I am no longer following them and yet their activity fills my thread everyday. I can't see any of my other friends work due to this one person who posts constantly.
Pamela you can also block them from your feed by clicking the "X" at the top right of the box. It will ask if you want to "hide" stories from the author, topic, or just hide that individual story. I hope this answers your question!

thanks for asking and answering this question - I was just wondering the same thing!
I did the same thing. But then, after I unfollowed the person, I also went to the home page and found one of the posts from this person. Click on the x over at the right and choose "hide stories from..." It will ask if you really want to hide all posts from this hubber. Say yes! You can always undo it. See if that helps.
I follow certain topics -eg. poetry-anytime a poem is published it shows up on my home page even if I am not following the person. Perhaps that hubber publishes hubs or answers questions/forums in topics you follow.

I clicked on the follow box to unfollow but I'm still getting this guy's articles and comments in my feed. He posts like four times a day and my feed is full of his stuff. I can't see hardly anything else.

I am literally sick and tired of people who follow you, and then, when you follow them back, they promptly unfollow you. Really, people? What do you do when someone unfollows you shortly after you follow them? Do you hunt them down and unfollow them as well? Do you send them mail saying what they...

Is there a way to know who has unfollowed you?

I am new to HubPages and still learning my way around - but really enjoying it so far! But I had someone start to 'follow' me and I presume because I didn't follow her back, she 'unfollowed' me. I'm not following anyone right now, just trying to get up and running first and have lots else to do but...

From the Activity page there is a list of Hubs You Follow. If one of them has been deleted or unpublished, it cannot be unfollowed.
