Approved Reporter Forum Account

[takethepants]

Is it possible to make the Reporter that posts in Reports an actual account? I would like to follow it so I can get it in my feed and get it in my email since I check my email more than I do the forums.

EDIT: Or if there's a way to follow a sub-forum...

You could try the RSS feed?

It looks like there's a plugin for this.

Came here to say this. RSS feeds are amazing.

That addon would be cool. The only problem I had with the RSS feed is that my feed reader only updates every 30 minutes or so. If I watch something I believe it sends me an email the instant something is posted.

What reader are you using?

Ok you can watch forums now.

I finally realized that this got implemented, but it only works if the person has a forum account and isn't the Guest reporter.

It's only like a week and half! Plus the plugin doesn't help solve the problem, uynless there's a setting to allow it to work for guest posts.

The watch forum button doesn't work?

It works if the person who started the thread has a forum account. I watched the report forum and so I got an email for this post:

That's the only email I've received for watching that forum. Under normal circumstances it would work, but since Reporter is a guest account it's not sending me new thread alerts.

I can confirm pants's problem, I have the same thing. It appears the only alerts received are from posters with registered accounts. Which pretty much makes the plugin worthless for the purpose it was added to fulfill.
