Auto-subscribing to a thread

AFAIK ??
super! :huh:

I would have assumed that also Seanie,
it would be a bit strange to be auto recieving email notifications
to every post you read.

If ye are not going to change it back then
ye are going to have to have to change the bit at the bottom so.
(It's fine telling me or Dave or whomever might read this particular post
but for the new person, wont they just assume our boards are the
same as nearly every other board out there where you have to
check a box to receive email notifications on a particular thread?)

from 'Check this box to have yourself notified about replies to this topic.'

to

'Un Check this box to not receive email notifications whenever a new
reply is posted in this topic'

Philip,

I have turned on the "Post-subscription checked by default" for auto-subscribing, from now on the subscribe box on the post will be automatically ticked

The topic notification emails are planned for Kunena, see kunena.uservoice.com/pages/general/sugge...-to-forum-categories

We will upgrade Fireboard to Kunena once Kunena is stable for Joomla 1.5 and Joomla 1.6 has arrived with proper access control mechanisms as we need these for private boards.

Roughly, how far from now would you expect this to happen?

I'm not crazy about this either,
could you make it user specific or else turn it off maybe?
I keep forgetting to un tick the box and my inbox in now
filling up which is a pain.

I agree. This email alert everytime you post is a pain in the ar**. Please, please, please remove the default.

I prefer it to remain as it currently is. Otherwise I miss replies to threads I've responded to.

If my memory serves me correctly, more people wanted the auto subscribe on than wanted it off by default.

People wanted a mail when a thread was started, not for every post made in a participating thread.
Would it not be more sensical to have it it unsubscribed by default, if you want mails then click the subscribe button. Maybe start a poll about it ?
