You go to the item trades forum to get an item you need, post your form and subscribe to the thread. Before the shop owner posts, 50 million other people do, posting their forms, and alerting you every time. What im suggesting is a @ system of forum alerting, instead of having to subscribe to the thread and getting notified whenever some anybody posts. It would work somewhat like this;

Quote@Charingo

I have your items, they're up on the GTS.


and you would be alerted in the notification page, something saying along the lines of;

QuoteYou were alerted in X thread by X!

Subscribing to a thread can be used for roleplaying, where you need to see all posts that are posted. This can be used for a one time reply, like an item thread where you only need to hear back from the shop owner.

TL;DR
Ping system from Flightrising


//im sorry if this was already suggested, i searched and i didnt see anything about it

I dont really understand what you are suggesting here :/
The subscribe button is there to notify you about people who posted on that forum you have subscribed to like you said and also letting you find the thread you need easier.

If youre subscribed to an item shop, you'll get notified everytime some other buyer is posting their form. if you use @[user], you will notify only that one person, so said person doesnt have to subscribe and see every other post from people you dont want to hear from.

NVM, i guess you could just PalPad/PM the buyer?


Oh for this you could use the Search pad which is the magnifying glass, all you need to do is type the users name into it and it will show all the times his name was mentioned, i would suggest having the forms say 'Username' or something along the lines of it so you can find him/her.

If my explaining is wrong, i am sorry but that would mean i still dont understand :/

nono, that isnt it, im sorry im just bad at explaining

in a forum, if someone posts @Skar, it will send you a notification, even if you arent subscribed to the thread. It would basically be the same notification as if you were subscribed to the thread, but it would say you were highlighted, and only the person who highlighted you would send a notification, instead of multiple people you dont want to hear from.

sorry again if this is still confusing ;u;

Total support! This will work well so I don't have to subscribe to a shop post to see if I get a reply or not!
