Full Version: Global Setting for Email Notification?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Is there a board setting which a User can turn 'On' that will automatically send them an email any time someone responds to their post/thread?

I *know* there is a checkbox where the User can select that for each post they make - but can that be committed to become the "Default" and selected by each user?

TIA

Thanks!

For some reason, I didn't connect the term "subscribe" to the feature I was seeking.

How to set this condition on default for every user? Is it possible?
Run this query in phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE mybb_users SET emailnotify='yes'
This will enable subscriptions by default for all existing users.

Realize that in some coutries that's illegal. It's required in the USA that you Opt-in for emails. You can't just change the option without giving members the chance to opt-in. So you should alter your TOS and have any new signups with this enabled.
