Subscribing for posts from a specific member in a topic?

Hi! Welcome to the Feedback forum.
Before reading anything or asking anything; please check out the FAQs. Your question might be in there. However if you want a better understanding after reading the FAQs, like if it didn't explain it good enough, then by all means ask your question.

Please read the following before posting in this forum...

In this forum you will see an Announcement, and several "sticky" topics. The announcement is the Universal Board Rules. If you are new, read this before doing anything else! The sticky topics will stay above and separated from normal user-made topics in the forum. This is because they outline important information about the board. If you see a sticky topic concerning your issue, please reply with your question or concern in the correct topic. Moderators will see your reply within these topics. Before asking your question, be sure to read the topic and its first page especially. It contains information about your issue that is valuable and may even answer your questions. If the topic does not answer your question, ask your question within the topic, not the forum. If no sticky topic concerns your issue, then you are welcome to ask your own questions by creating a new topic within the forum.

Thank you for keeping the Board Help forum organized!

Subscribing for posts from a specific member in a topic?

Postby SnowyCheetah » June 11th, 2010, 4:09 am

So I wanted to subscribe to a thread in which a few different people are posting. What I really care to know about in that thread are posts made by one specific member. The trouble is, if one of the other members posts, I'll get a notification about their post and no more until I like visit or reply or something. Is there any way to subscribe for posts in a thread from one specific member? If not, is it possible we could get one?

I think the reason why there isn't something like that already implimented here on the forum is because it would be a little too intrusive in a way, especially if the member in question whose posts are being followed, wouldn't have a say in the matter. Yes, everything posted on this forum is pretty much viewable to the public regardless but that just seems a little too personal. :) If you're really that curious to see what someone has been posting, you could always just look at their profile and check their recent posts. Given, this won't give you a notification every time they make a post, but yeah, it's as good as you're going to get I think. ^^

I don't think that what you're asking is a feature on any forum I've ever been to or heard of o.() It's just not something I've ever encountered. If you <really> want to stalk someone your best bet is to go to their page and "view posts by this member" though that gets kinda creepy =3

I could see how that would be useful in RPs...
