Can you subscribe to individual forum members?

I know you can subscribe to individual threads, and I believe you can subscribe to whole sub-forums, but can you subscribe to individual members' posts? For instance, I'd like to get an email whenever a couple of forumites post new knives for sale in the Custom Knives For Sale - Individual forum, but I don't necessarily want an email for every single new post in that forum.
 
I don't know of any way to subscribe to an individual, but I believe you can bookmark Find all posts by (member) in their profile. Click on that bookmark and you'll get their current posts, which you can easily scan for custom sales.

OK, I just bookmarked this link at http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/search.php?searchid=2716459

See what you get. You can do it for anybody. Put it in a new folder in your Favorites/Bookmarks marked "wanna buy" or whatever.

You cannot bookmark a search result, like you just did, either. They are generated and cached to save resources, and expire after about 30 minutes (depending on the website's settings)

The proper way would be to use this link: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/search.php?do=finduser&u=110456 where the querystring u=xxxxx is the user's (whom you wish to bookmark) ID
 
Thanks for the help, guys. I took your ideas one step further and bookmarked all threads started by a few members. That weeds out a lot of threads that aren't in the For Sale forums.

Thanks again.
