How can I track another persons posts in forums if they are consistently funny?

There is a person who posts consistently witty, erudite and entertaining posts to the forums.  How can I ensure that I get to read all of his posts?  Is there any way on Chess.com to track such things.

Go to their home page and in the actions window there's "Track <them>".

I don't know if that's right, but it looks like it could be. Laughing

No, only threads they started.

The only method is to periodically Google for posts they have written e.g.

         "by beast719" site:www.chess.com/forum

If you're lucky, the results will be listed in latest-first order. You can then TRACK those threads.

No need to embed Google.   Just do a site specific search.

If you do any programming, you can write a script that essentially will set up your own search engine and get an auto-notifcation if certain keyphrases show up on the site. Creating a SE is pretty basic stuff; a good one less so.

I went to your profile and clicked on the track this person button. So now the pressure is on you to continue to post hilarious threads.

No, but you CAN track anyone who consistently posts humourless, ignorant and boring posts to the forum.

I'm sure that there are other funny people on this site, so just sod it and see if you can randomly find them using luck.
