Sorry to steer the conversation in a non-pool direction, but I want to have have an alert as soon as an item I m looking for becomes available (if ever) in Wanted/For Sale. I thought I remember there being a way to do this.
During my long pool hiatus I became a reddit'r and on there if your username is mentioned you get alerted (I think) but it's all about formatting. like my username here is tjlmbklr but in order to hotlink it you have to write u/tjlmbklr
Putting the u/ in front makes the difference otherwise if you has a name close to a common word you would get alerts every time that word was used.
