request: keyword alerts?

[iamme]

over at fw, they have keyword alerts for their forums. for example, if you're on the lookout for an LCD deal, you designate "LCD" as an alert and get an email whenever something related is posted.

would this be possible?

This would be nice, it must be possible since FW uses FuseTalk and has implemented this.

Haha, I can think of a few abuses for that. Change your email address to someone's you don't like and set the keyword to "LOL" or some other common ATOT phrase. Instantly flooded inbox. :laugh:

hmm....never thought of that. does fusetalk require you to confirm the email address when you change it?

I'm pretty sure that when you change your email address a new password is automatically sent to it so yes.

any chance of this happening?

yup. it logs you off and you'll have to relogin with the new password.

it would be funny to see a few "omg my roxor boxer password got haxored!" posts in FI.
