content: HiThere are a few members here that I wish I could read every post they make because I feel that I can learn something from them. For example there is one member who is so advanced that I cannot even come up with a Reply to track him but I still would like to read his messages.The only way I know how to do this is search for a member and then look at their posts then scroll through them and them pick them out. A really long process.I have searched around and found "Buddy" but other than being able to add someone I cannot even find who I added to Buddy. In other words I cannot do anything with Buddy other than add a name.I would like something that shows up like our responses to our posts ie "Show new replies to your posts." In other words a "Show new replies from your selected members"I know this does not exist. So has someone come up with a way to track all new messages or replies from selected members? I use Windows but if the only solution is an app, I will get an Android tablet.thanks

content: FWIW, you can currently go to said member's profile and click theShow Postslink on the left hand side.Not exactly what you're looking for, particularly regarding convenience, but it will get you the end results you're after.

content: Quote from: ez24 on August 28, 2015, 08:27:36 pmYes, I found this Buddy option when I finally relented and wanted to put a certain fowl person on ignore... Thankfully the Ignore list worked, but the Buddy list - well, I added KJDS and TopLoser, but I haven't even seen a hint of "mates rates" from either of them yet- I mean it's been nearly 24 hours... not a peep... some bloody friends they are!No idea what the Buddy thing is for, but the Ignore list - why, it has been a wave of serenity not to suffer the insufferable ramblings of the clinically insane

content: QuoteGood idea and I think this will work and I can keep the tab page open and just refresh itthanksQuoteThis was mentioned in another post I have that is related. As far as I can tell this is mobile device only. I will try the above method for both topics and members and if that does not work I may have to get a tablet.thanks again
