I made a forum search and didn't find anything relevant to this. If I missed it, let me know.

I would like the ability to be able to "watch" a forum. Any new post, whether a reply or new topic, is sent to my pager. I like to read posts in the certain guilds, and I like to know when my games' forums have something in there, that I didn't see. Is there anyway this could be added for BYOND members?

Audeuro	I second this. I'd like to see it also available for forums on here on the Developer forum. I enjoy watching Developer How-To, Code Projects, Design Philosophy, and Creations. :D Maybe the message that it sends you is something as simple as: "[Name] has made a new post on the [forum name] forum entitled '[Post Title]' in '[sub-forum name(BYOND Features, Bug Reports, Developer How-To, etc)]'"

XxDohxX	Yeah, I would like that also. Creations being my favorite one, I always go there to look at everything everybody else has made.

Flame Sage	Think about how much money this will cost BYOND! You guys can just hit the refresh button every once in a while.

Airjoe	It's a good idea, and I think it might be alright if maybe you can set it up for your own forums, but posts happen to rapidly on the Developer and BYOND Games Forums, and I think it'll just be a little too much bandwidth.

Sarm	Sometimes I'd like to be able to watch a specific thread, at least. I get notices if someone directly responds to me, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in the rest of the thread.
