Topic: set email notifications to default on

hi, my forum is new and small so its really important for engagement and retention of our members that we are able to make it default to send email notifications every time someone comments on a thread members have posted in. the tick box there now would be absolutely fine if it was auto selected, so someone has to actively click to not select it.

i cant work out how to make it the default setting, can anyone here help?

thanks kindly,

Andy at Focallocal

Re: set email notifications to default on

sorry, when posting in a thread it is possible for users to tick a box asking to receive email notifications ('subscribe to this topic') every time anyone else replies or posts in the same thread.

i want to set this option to be selected by default, so users have to click to de-select it.

Re: set email notifications to default on

in post.php

// Check/uncheck the checkbox for subscriptions depending on scenario
if (!$forum_user['is_guest'] && $forum_config['o_subscriptions'] == '1')
{
    $subscr_checked = false;
// Check/uncheck the checkbox for subscriptions depending on scenario

{
    $subscr_checked = true;

OR in DB

UPDATE users SET notify_with_post = '1'
ALTER TABLE users CHANGE auto_notify auto_notify TINYINT( 1 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'
