I'm trying to set all new users to have Instant Email Notification turned on.

I've tried two different methods:

1) Edited template:

<select name="subscriptionmethod" id="subscriptionmethod">
<option value="2" {$instant_email_subscribe_selected}>{$lang->instant_email_subscribe}</option>
<option value="1" {$no_email_subscribe_selected}>{$lang->no_email_subscribe}</option>
<option value="0" {$no_subscribe_selected}>{$lang->no_auto_subscribe}</option>

2) Ran MySQL query:

UPDATE mybb_users SET subscriptionmethod = '2';

Neither one works. I create a new user and the subscription level is still no_auto_subscribe.

What gives. Using versin 1.6.8 (1608)
