solved Discussion "Follow" icon has disappeared for standard users

On Group discussions, we have set a Follow option and it used to work for all users. In the past week or so, standard users are reporting that they are not seeing a Follow icon on discussions. I can see one in my Admin user, but not in a standard user.

Has something changed in the system to affect this? I have made no changes to the permissions before this happened and the Follow icon is 'active' in Group Discussions. Since it was reported, I have tried changing
core item_action_buttons/ detail/m=jrGroupDiscuss
Group - from '(no group restrictions)' to 'logged in users'
and I changed the Quotas, which previously was unset, to "All Users". I cleared caches but the button is still not showing for standard users.
Any ideas?

I'm seeing the same thing, Lorna. When logged in as Admin, I see all the Follow buttons in groups and forums.
When logged in as a regular member, I see the Follow buttons in FORUMS, but no longer see the follow buttons in Groups anywhere... which i should be seeing- to be able to not only 'follow' the Group but to also 'follow' an individual Group discussion. Used to be able to see and use them. Something has changed.

Get GroupDiscuss V1.5.1 from the Marketplace. This should be fixed up now.
Thanks
