           Summary: Topic subscription defaults wrong in forum
           Product: Websites
           Version: trunk
          Platform: All

            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal

Description of problem:
When replying to a forum post I expect to be automatically subscribed to that
topic in order to get a topic reply notification by email.

At present the forum appears to be set up to *not* send email notification
unless the subscription link is clicked.

What is very confusing is that the subscription link looks like a check box
that is *already* checked to enable subscription to the topic.

This bound to confuse users - it has me!

Can we :-
1. Change the default to always send topic reply notifications.
2. Change the icon to not give the impression that notification is already
subscribed.

Without this the forum will be dead IMHO.
