      I have a site with many many pages that have very thin content, yet they are useful for users/visitors.

      Those pages also have many external links pointing to them from reputable and authoritative websites.

      If i were to noindex/follow these pages, will the juice/value from the external links still pass through just as if the page didn't have the noindex tag?

      Please let me know!

        This post last year gives a good answer throughout.  In summary yes it does but the edge gets taken off the link 'power', just as a 301 doesn't pass 100%
