Making it so the email notifications are off by default.

Question

I'm just talking about the check-box being blank and let the person opt in. I have dug around in the code but I am a bit confused. It would be nice if people had to click to be notified.  



And thanks for the great software and support. If you are ever in Portland I will buy you a pizza.

This is a good candidate for an option in a future version. In the meantime you can change it as follows:

Questions: modify this in qa-page-ask.php:

$innotify=true;
... to ...
$innotify=false;

Answers: modify this in qa-page-question.php:

isset($innotify) ? $innotify : true
... to ...
isset($innotify) ? $innotify : false

For comments, it's off by default anyway.

Comments

Can it be turned on for comments by default? I like the default being on, for questions certainly but perhaps comments also. I think it's likely to build community quicker and minimize one-time visitors who ask a question but never come back to check responses.

This is a little different because of how the flow is structured - you should replace the following line in the function qa_page_q_do_comment(...) in qa-page-question-post.php:

$formtype='c_add';

... with ...

$formtype='c_add'; unset($innotify);
