Perhaps I am being dumb, but I can't find a place where I can say that I want the "Notify me when a reply is posted" option to be active by default....
Also, am I the only one that keeps hitting the "Save" button instead of "Submit" ?
Default for "Notify me when a reply is posted" ?

Re: Default for "Notify me when a reply is posted" ?
When you post a message, look beneath the text area or buttons. Within the options tab you should see "Notify me when a reply is posted" checkbox.
I don't know of a way to set this as a global preference.

Would be really great if there was a global pref for this. Makes the BB more "sticky" and keeps people engaged.
I looked all through the User Control Panel and I couldn't find a place to specify that by default I'd like to always subscribe to threads that I have posted in.

Go to your User Control Panel,
Click the Board Preferences tab,
Click the "Edit posting defaults" option,
Choose "Notify me upon replies by default".
I don't think I'd ever consider enabling it by default (new users would be inundated with irrelevant traffic) but this opt-in way seems pretty ok, if a bit non-obvious and hidden.

Would you consider adding this instruction to the "Welcome" email sent to new members? Letting them know that this is an available option & where to find it?
