Eg. Let's say I want to get alerted to new threads created in buy and sell forum so that i do not miss any great deal before it's sold out. Is there any way i can do this? Best will be if the alert is sent to my email directly. Thanks in advance!
You might try Google Alerts (google.com/alerts). For most forums you will have to subscribe to existing threads to be notified.
Google alerts doesnt work with new threads being created.... and i'm talking about being notified when NEW THREADS ARE CREATED. I even wrote in uppercase letter.. Not exisiting threads where most forum do not notify for that. Thanks for your effort anyway.
You can subscribe to individual threads to get notified but a whole section wouldn't be easily done. Another option would be to use the Spy tool but you would have to monitor it constantly while you watch every activity that happens.
You can subscribe to a complete forum but the notications are daily or weekly, not instant. The link is under "Forum Tools" example: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=119
