[Forum] Default preference to be changed ASAP (mail notification)
I've noticed that the default option for mail notification was set to
No! This must be an error.
The "Notify me upon replies by default" should be set to yes for all new
registration.
I suspect that many users are not aware that their question has been
answered.
Some information here:
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=1401745
The query to reset all users with the correct setting may be useful.
imacat, I cc you directly because this is a key feature of a forum, if
you could have a look ASAP...
But if someone else has the karma to do that, it would be great.
TIA
Hagar

I can confirm your findings and the mail link you attached contain a valid
solution, though I am not too sure about the user-type selection.
please remember, due to the forums setup, this has to be done in all
databases to be effective.
I also think php2bb needs to be restarted to remove the cached users.

It's worst than I thought: quite all the users have the option set to
no! Even some "old" users.
The option was yes by default from the start. There has been a problem
somewhere.
It explains the many topics without any reply from OPs who never thought
about checking their thread.

Done. So the default "Notify me by e-mail" setting is now set to ON for
all old users (and new users, as already discussed).
Of course, users can visit their profile to set it to OFF and can even
enable/disable it on a per-post basis.
Regards,
Andrea.

Well, another question... Is it possible to run the query so that it is applied again on old accounts?
TIA!

Hi Andrea,
I can't thank you enough!
I confirm all new accounts have the correct setting now.

It's still a failure since it took way too long, but the patch is now
online: the default mail notification preference on the forum is set to
ON as requested some dozens times by Hagar and others.

Well, three months later, 2 JIRA tickets were opened (#7173 and #7286) and the conclusion is : won't fix...
So if it cannot be changed with a mere code tweak (0 to bet set to 1) because it's forbidden by Infra, is it at least possible to install the php mod?
Do I need to open a new JIRA ticket for that?
I'm rather surprised (and disappointed) by current situation. If AOO project does not care about the main user support channel, how can it claim to be user focused?

I support the change too. It happened to me recently, a couple times,
that I had to go back and re-edit a reply just to tick the "Notify me"
checkbox.

This is a good point, and one that I hadn't actually considered.
Probably users indeed expect to receive notifications out of the box, so
they won't go and check the checkbox like I did. And they will miss
answers and we will miss their feedback.
> imacat, I cc you directly because this is a key feature of a forum
For the record, I had a look but my permissions on the VM (that should
NOT be changed now, while we are in the middle of a discussion on how to
rearrange the VM maintenance!) do not allow it: I can't get the MySQL
connection parameters that would be needed to run the query that would
fix it for existing users.
Regards,
Andrea.
