A familiar feature in other platforms, in this case such activities could be a name change alert, postings, signature changes, etc...

You would be able to choose whether your friends are allowed to receive notifications of your activities.

You would have the option to follow your friends' activities.

So what kind of activities you want to track on users by having this kind of subscription? New posts and new topics?
You can already do that by clicking on users profile and check last posts/topics.

If you are just wanting to add this to get a notification when the certain user makes a post/topic idk, seems a bit of laziness and not really needed for this kind of feature.
Kinda feels like a bit of stalker alert also 😄

Not to scope creep, but there could also be an option for the subscriber to choose the type of notification to receive. Anything from a signature update, a profile image change, posts, status change, etc.

I see no point in adding this.

paul is gonna love waking up and seeing this thread

Maybe, but just like how you have the option to be notified if a YT channel you subscribe to posts new content, as a fan of users who update their cool Sig/Ava frequently and users who post entertaining replies to topics, the added convenience of having the option of being notified of such new content being delivered by them would be cool. For instance, there are one too many users I’ve come across already where I forget to manually check their individual posts for new D2R FT/ISO topics. Birthdays and new star unlock notifications would be fun too.

Hello ,

Overall, I don't think the proposed idea will bring a lot of additional utility to the forum. This feature might be useful in some cases (for example, tracking posts of a potential scammer); however, for most users of the forum, it might be a little excessive or unnecessary, in my opinion.

Respectfully voting no.
