Hey, thanks for the feedback and for sticking around on the site. Just to clarify, Watchlist notifications only work through PMs. I had considered adding email notifications at one point, but decided against it because the site's outgoing emails would likely get flagged as spam by mail servers due to the high volume. The feature has always worked this way since it was first added.
To manage this feature, go to Edit your profile. The three Watchlist keywords can be added, removed, or edited there: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/edit/me/

I PM’d Fred in this last night but figured I’d ask here as well.
When I go to my profile, add an item to the wish list, and then try to save, I get an error message telling me that my email is already in use by another user.
Has anybody else experienced this?

Go to your profile, (person icon top right of page) and then click 'edit your details' at top left. At the bottom there are three fields for watchlist items.

Hi there- how many posts does one need in order to PM someone, either from the Buy/Sell sub-forum, or any other forum here too? Thanks.

Is it possible to receive an email alert with the title of every new thread in one of the (two) marketplace forums here? Manually checking via a browser gets tiring after a while.
