Remember "Subscribe to this topic" checkbox (Page 1 of 3)

surely its only 1 email per post however many people subcribe to it?

Okay, I need to add my 2 cents.

I'll second this option.  I would NOT have it default to the last box selected, because then you need to remember to look at the box with every thread you reply to.

But, I like the idea of having an option in the user preferences to "Subscribe to topic when you reply" option that makes the checkbox already selected.

I mean, come on, who doesn't like to know that they have replies to something they posted?   

But hey, "KISS" (keep it simple stupid!)  If it will slow things down / cause problems, don't do it!

if its a really big thing, just add it yourself. in phpBB, i didnt understand a thing. but in punbb, i understand alot, so its easy to mod

Wouldn't mind a little help with this, as I don't really know PHP. I do know HTML and a little CSS though.

On a side note, I have another small request for a feature. When you have subscribed to a topic, and press reply, the "Subscribe to this topic" should be automaticly selected. Even if it doesn't make any physical difference, the visuals are important.

well you should need to tick it every time you reply as you only need to be notified once it between your own posts

Yes, it should remove you when you get the email, and add you again when you check the topic (and automaticly add you again), like in phpBB.

This is my favorite forum feature ever (believe it or not), and I could not work without it.

but i only use it if i post something important and i want to know if someone replys usually, and then i only want to use it once... i think having it ticked by default after you use it once would be bad, but if you want to just add a selected option to the form?

Hmmm...
Automatic subscription can really hog up the database if you're posting very often...
But I agree when you say that the visuals are important, so :

1° you get a text link "subscribe to this topic" / when you click on it, it turns automagically into "you subscribed to this topic / unsubscribe?" - That's already like that.
2° When you reply to a topic you subscribed to, the checkbox is empty, and it should not. In fact, the checkbox shouldn't be there at all, but instead you'd have to find an "unsubscribe" checkbox...
3° When you reply, even if you leave the checkbox blank, you're still considered as a subscriber, because it's linked to the topic. There's no need to subscribe every time you reply.

So, the only thing "needed" would be to change the "subscribe" checkbox into "unsubscribe" if the poster has already subscribed, to avoid confusion...

On the "always warn me of replies" thing, I'm against that.

Exactly what I ment, except maybe except an unsubscribe box, it should be a subscribe box, already checked (if you are subscribed).

I think that should be up to each user.

Yepp, exactly!

How about this -- give user an option (default off) to receive ONE email per day for all the new posts in one category or forum.
I'm running a forum for a small group. I have the impression that some ppl like bulk mails as a tool for noticing, otherwise they don't know what's going on because they don't visit the forum too often.
