Subscribing to a thread and private messaging

By gf_ripper, in Support

If this is a repeat I appologize I couldn't find it asked anywhere. How do you subscribe to a thread so you can get an e-mail or something when someone response to it? Is it possible or can it be added as a feature?

How do you private message someone on the forums or is that not possible?

I don't think this is possible right now. I'm not holding my breath that it ever will be, at least not in a way that's useful.

You can't. There's a way to send "private emails" to your friends, but that's hardly the same thing, since you have to be "friends" with them first, and it sends it via email rather than an in-system private mesage.
