Hi,

Im new to the forum, but not new to simple: press forum.

First of all i would like to congratulate you guys on making the best forum for integration with wordpress.

Second of all, i woulld like to know how i can completely disable the "watch" and "subscribe" to topic options.
If you ask me they are verry annoying, and i did remove the counters in the top, also i removed the permissions for my users, but the problem is that I as an administrator still get auto subscribed to posts, and i dont want that.

Where can i turn that off?

Greetings,

Richard

think you might be confusing a couple of things…

yes, you can disable watches and subscriptions (annoying? probably the most requested feature) via the permissions…

auto subscribing is an option that is off by default that can be controlled by users in their profile… subscriptions only apply to topics that you have posted in… so, however, I suspect what you are really seeing is not a subscription but you have turned on the admin option to be notified of all new posts in your forum… you can turn that off on forum – admins – your admin options…

Hm yeah well Auto subscribe is turned on (for me atleast)

In my profile i cannot find the option?
In forum –> admins –> your options, the option to recieve a email notification on new post/topic is turned off.

Is there any other way i can do this?

What profile would this option be in? i have the simple press forum profile linked true to wordpress profile.

so are you getting emails on ALL forum posts or only on topics you post to??  big difference…

auto subscribe is off by default and can be turned on in your spf profile…  if you have linked the spf profile to the wp profile then you cannot change spf specific profile options any longer…   to get at them, you will either need to hand edit the db or redirect the profile back to the spf profile temporarily, edit the option and then point it back…

I have seen subscribe being turned on by default even if the non admin user has set it to off in the profile. Strange why this happens.
