Hi everyone
I switched off the forum default email notifications by changing the default value in the member table from ‘y’ to ‘n’.
Now, I want to change this - so that by default, members receive smart notifications when someone posts a reply on a thread they have contributed to.
In other words - I want to make email notifications by default - but only smart notifications; not an email every time a post is made on a thread.
What would be the best way of doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried just setting exp_members.smart_notifications to “y”?
Moving to Howto.

Oops - no, haven’t tried that!!
If I change that, will members still be able to switch off the preference from their own personal email settings?

Yes, this should be a user-configurable setting. Just give it a try, will you? 😊
