Subscribe to user?

Does any forum software have a "subscribe to user" function?

There are certain members that I'd love to make sure I see all of their posts. Some of the deal posters, Mnementh, some of the Otters......

That's called "stalking."

Seriously though, I don't see that feature anywhere. Obviously you can click on a user and choose "Find more posts by this user" as a workaround. I can see the interest in this. I don't know what the interest is in ownership to implement this. That's their call of course.

Warning: don't try a "see all threads started by user" against The Bus. I tried this once and the forum was down for days.

Bookmarking <A HREF="http://forum.dvdtalk.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=61672" target="_blank">Find all posts by mnementh</a> seems like the optimium workaround.

What would a search of Scott's threads do, take down the entire internet?

Glad I'm not the only one that sees a possible use. Most of my ideas appeal only to myself I think.

Thanks. I knew about searching by user, but didn't think of saving it. Might add a few searches to my bookmark <s>stalker</s> DVD folder.
