Have you considered adding a subscribe to forum button so people can be notified of new posts without needing to sign up for RSS?

Install and activate the 'Subscriptions' plugin.

I have that installed, but it seems to only allow subscribing to specific topics, not whole forums. Have I missed something?

Ah sorry - misunderstood.
No - we don't support that. Perhaps someone would like to write a plugin...

LOL! Is this sort of thing likely to be too much for a first php script? I'll see how I go when I have more time.

We all have to start somewhere. My very first php project was an ambitious popup gallery plugin for WP which I have to admit I would hate to look at the code to now!

My problem is that I have imported from a Mingle forum and there you could subscribe everybody to everything as default. It is a relatively small closed group but was very active in the forum but now it has almost stopped because people aren't subscribed (the subscriptions were not imported of course).
I wondered about subscribing myself to all of the forums and then going into the data back and pasting the contents into everybody else.
Is that recommendable or is there an easier way of doing it?

I am afraid that at this time we don't support form-level subscriptions. The data is held at topic level not forum level.
It would make a good plugin for someone to write?

I realize that but my question was really whether you think it possible to manually change the subscribe field in wp_sfmembers table in the SQL data bank and what would I have to add? Would it work if I just copied and pasted from one member to another in this field?
Sorry if I did not formulate my question well.

Well it's not that straightforward.
Firstly, as stated, this is a list of topics not forums so each time a new topic is created you would need to update all that data manually.
But more complicated than that, the topic record also maintains a list of all the users subscribed to it...
