Is it possible to get an e-mail notification when a particular user starts a thread or makes a post?

I've done this on other sites, but can't seem to do it here.

For example, get an e-mail notification when someone on my buddy list starts a thread.

Thanks,
Bart

If you post a new thread, or reply to an existing thread, you can choose to be notified by email when someone else replies to that thread. You can also choose to receive email notifications of new posts in a thread without posting in that thread, by clicking the 'Subscribe to this thread' link displayed in the thread page.

If you choose to stop receiving email notifications from a thread, you can turn off the option by either editing your post, or by unsubscribing from the thread here.

Only registered users may receive email notification, and they can set whether they want to receive email notification by default by editing their options.

Email notification is also referred to as 'Thread Subscription'.

Vist our FAQ section and you will find lots of uses that may help you enjoy the site better.

Thanks for the response, but it looks like what I'm trying to do isn't possible.

I realize that once a thread is started, I can subscribe to that thread and get a notification.

What I was trying to do is to get a notification when a particular user starts a thread.

It looks like I just need to keep checking and checking and checking to see if someone has started a thread.


Thanks.
