LongeCity Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 There are a lot of default settings in the ACP but auto-subscribe isn't one of them. Is it possible to add a new default setting for this one? I think vb has such an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard.C Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 there is already a setting to do this in the ACP, but it only covers new members if you want existing members to follow topics, you need to use Marsher techs other hook - synche me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaks Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'm honestly surprised that this isn't a feature integrated into IPB by default. Why not buy the modification and merge it with IPB 3.3. Not everyone has the time or know-how to look around for 3rd-party modifications to add what should have been in IPB in the first place. IPB devs should just get the mod from Marcher Technologies and integrate it forever into IPB and solve this problem. With all the money IPB makes, $3 shouldn't be an issue. I know it's not for me, to have to buy the mod, but why buy it when i already paid $150 and IPB's price is hiking up to $175 in a few weeks. IPB devs should also scan their database of 3rd party mods and just buy those that offer obvious improvements to IP.Board's default out-of-the-box set of functionality. It would make things simpler for IPB admins who manage their forums. Having to deal with 3rd party mods can become a nightmare, especially when new IPB versions are out and the 3rd party mod hasn't been updated or has to be re-installed separately, etc. Just make it simpler for everyone!
