How do I set the default setting for the Email Notification Post Option? I would like all my users to default to "yes" (checked) so that they will automatically receive an email whenever there is a new reply to threads they have posted to.

I assume this is doable, since it seems to be the default setting on this board!

Any help is greatly appreciated...

in the showthread_quickreply template find
<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[emailnotify]" value="yes" {$postoptionschecked['emailnotify']} />&nbsp;<strong>{$lang->email_notify}</strong></label>
replace with
<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[emailnotify]" value="yes" {$postoptionschecked['emailnotify']} checked="checked" /> <strong>{$lang->email_notify}</strong></label>

and done

Thanks so much for the quick reply, pepotiger.

I tried it, but it doesn't seem to work. Again, I'm a noob, so perhaps I didn't do it correctly. Here is what I tried:

1. Clicked on Templates: Search; searched Template Names for showthread_quickreply.
2. I edited the MASTER Template, substituting the text as instructed. (When that didn't work, I also tried editing the Default and Global templates also, but neither had the desired effect).

I reverted back to the original template text for now. Could you take a look at the suggested revision above and let me know if there is anything I should correct or change?

Thanks!

You need to make the changes on all the template sets you have on your forum (or at least the ones you have themes associated with).

When you say "[you] edited the MASTER Template" are you talking about the MyBB Default Templates?

There seemed to be three templates associated with "showthread_quickreply": MASTER, GLOBAL, and DEFAULT.

Do I need to change this in all three versions?

The only Theme I have installed is the MyBB Default theme.

Thanks for your continued help...

Ok...I tried again, and it still didn't work. Here is the code that is currently in the showthread_quick_reply for Default Theme:

<br />
<form method="post" action="newreply.php" name="input">
<input type="hidden" name="my_post_key" value="{$mybb->post_code}" />
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="RE: {$thread['subject']}" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="do_newreply" />
<input type="hidden" name="tid" value="{$tid}" />
<input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="{$posthash}" />
<input type="hidden" name="quoted_ids" value="" />
<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<thead>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="thead">
<div class="expcolimage"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/collapse{$collapsedimg['quickreply']}.gif" id="quickreply_img" class="expander" alt="[-]"/></div>
<div><strong>{$lang->quick_reply}</strong></div>
</td>
</tr>

<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[disablesmilies]" value="yes" />&nbsp;<strong>{$lang->disable_smilies}</strong></label>{$closeoption}</span>
</td>
<td class="trow1">
	<div>
		<textarea style="width: 90%; margin: 0;" rows="8" cols="80" name="message" id="message" tabindex="1"></textarea>
	</div>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>

Any help is greatly appreciated!

that should do the trick, are you sure you did the modification in your defult theme templates?

Here's what I did; perhaps I am missing a step?

1. From Admin CP, I clicked on Themes: Modify/Delete.
2. Default Templates: Expand
3. Show Thread Templates: Expand
4. showthread_quickreply: Change Original
5. Replaced all the code with:
<br />
<form method="post" action="newreply.php" name="input">
<input type="hidden" name="my_post_key" value="{$mybb->post_code}" />
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="RE: {$thread['subject']}" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="do_newreply" />
<input type="hidden" name="tid" value="{$tid}" />
<input type="hidden" name="posthash" value="{$posthash}" />
<input type="hidden" name="quoted_ids" value="" />
<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<thead>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="thead">
<div class="expcolimage"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/collapse{$collapsedimg['quickreply']}.gif" id="quickreply_img" class="expander" alt="[-]"/></div>
<div><strong>{$lang->quick_reply}</strong></div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody style="{$collapsed['quickreply_e']}" id="quickreply_e">
<tr>
<td class="trow1" valign="top" width="22%">
<strong>{$lang->message}</strong><br />
<span class="smalltext">{$lang->message_note}<br /><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[signature]" value="yes" {$postoptionschecked['signature']} />&nbsp;<strong>{$lang->signature}</strong></label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[emailnotify]" value="yes" {$postoptionschecked['emailnotify']} checked="checked" /> <strong>{$lang->email_notify}</strong></label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="postoptions[disablesmilies]" value="yes" />&nbsp;<strong>{$lang->disable_smilies}</strong></label>{$closeoption}</span>
</td>
<td class="trow1">
    <div>
        <textarea style="width: 90%; margin: 0;" rows="8" cols="80" name="message" id="message" tabindex="1"></textarea>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">document.write('<div class="editor_control_bar" style="width: 90%; padding: 4px; margin-top: 3px; display: none;" id="quickreply_multiquote"><span class="smalltext">{$lang->quickreply_multiquote_selected} <a href="javascript:Thread.loadMultiQuoted();">{$lang->quickreply_multiquote_now}<\/a> {$lang->or} <a href="javascript:Thread.clearMultiQuoted();">{$lang->quickreply_multiquote_deselect}<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>');</script>
</td>
</tr>
{$captcha}
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" class="tfoot"><input type="submit" class="button" value="{$lang->post_reply}" tabindex="2" accesskey="s" /> <input type="submit" class="button" name="previewpost" value="{$lang->preview_post}" tabindex="3" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>

That's it. Do I need to clear my browser cache to see the new results? Maybe I'll try that while I wait for your next suggestion. Thanks so much!
