Heya,

I've always wanted to be able to get an alert when particularly thoughtful/intelligent/expert users post, rather than coming across their posts by happenstance in my irregular visits, and I've never been able to figure out how do do this. I've searched both the Forums and the Help pages for such a setting, as well (obviously) as digging thru' my CP, and have had no luck. Does such a feature exist? If so, could someone guide me thru'? If not, could it be created or enabled?

It's definitely not there, and there might not even be a mod to support that feature on IP.Board yet.

I use the "follow this topic" function you can see at the upper right, but unfortunately it does not seem to be working recently. One is supposed to get instant notification of new posts, or a daily summary - which is the option I choose.

The problem with 'follow this topic' is that it would (or should) notify you if anyone posts to the thread. I think what Michael is looking for is the ability to "follow" someone, possibly limited to particular fora. I guess that would have to go in the IPB wish-list.

Not even in a particular forum: there are several people that I'd just like to see when they post, anywhere -- and there's no way to do that (I take it) without subscribing to each and every topic in each and every forum on the off chance that they post something there.
