Topic: Subscribe checkbox always unchecked, even if I'm subscribed

Hi,
I'm testing a migration from phpbb to punbb.

I have been using punbb as a user in another forum and have seen this problem, now I see it in my forum too.

To reproduce:
- create a topic
- read the topic
- subscribe to the topic by clicking the link at the bottom
- post a new reply to the topic
- you see the "Subscribe to this topic" checkbox unchecked

I wonder if that checkbox should be available or checked, because I'm already subscribed to that topic.

It this a desired behavior? I was thinking it is like that in order to save a few SQL queries. Is that right?

Many Thanks
Oliver
P.D.: punbb is a great forum software!

Since you're already subscribed, why would you need to subscribe again?

Re: Subscribe checkbox always unchecked, even if I'm subscribed

Hi Smartys,
the problem is that the un-checked checkbox confuses me.
Why is there a unchecked "subscribe checkbox" if I'm already subscribed?
I was expecting a "un-subscribe checkbox", a checked "subscribe checkbox" or no checkbox at all.
