Unable to follow a friend

[m_ralston]

I've never run into a problem like this before, but recently I've been trying to follow a friend of mine from out of the country and their name won't pop-up in the search results. I have also tried using the spotify:user: shortcut, but this doesn't work either. Both my friend and I have been able to get to the other's account page (where you'd typically be able to follow them) by linking playlists, but there is no follow button. I'm not exactly sure what the problem culd be, so any replies would be appreciated!
