default forum notification emails
-
When one signs up on this forum, you check a box saying that you consent to email notifications.
The default notification settings do not have email notifications enabled.
It was my assumption that I would receive email notifications when someone replied to a post I had made. I therefore didn't think to manually check whether someone had replied, which led to a considerable delay in me finding a solution to an issue I was facing.
I would propose changing the email notification defaults for new users of this forum.

I would propose the opposite (ie no email notifications by default)

I dislike getting email notifications I haven't explicitly asked for. Just one more thing to unsubscribe from/ change settings
That's a good option too! I think the core issue is that as things were it asked for permission, indicated that it would send email notifications, and then didn't
