quote:Originally posted by bluckcuckIt would not be a good idea to always default the topic subscription to checked - not everyone wants to receive subscriptions via email. The subscription process is an opt-in process requiring you to take action to subscribe - rather than subscribing you via your inaction (like failing to uncheck a checkbox).
Bruce, that is not what I asked. I didn't ask for it to always default. I asked if it could be checked by default if the person was starting a thread. When one starts a thread, one would indeed want to be automatically subscribed to the post because this person is seeking an answer to a question that he/she posted in the first place.

I agree with you that when replying to someone else's question is better to leave that box UNchecked.
