I went to Admin > Configuration > Theme Management > Member Options > Configure guest and new user options for this theme
and set on the setting Turn topic notification on when you post or reply to a topic
It seems it applied to all users since I found this setting applied to my account. Is this normal? Imo it should apply only to new users and not existing users.
Judging by your description, the behaviour seems more "configure guests and members that have never changed their settings".
If that's the case, then I think you are not wrong and it should not configure already existing members.
But it's a long time I don't look at that piece of code...
/me has to study it again. lol
I see 3 options, I choosed the first one but it seems it behave as the second option. I use only one theme, and theme variants are disabled.
- Configure guest and new user options for this theme
- Change current options for all members using this theme
- Remove all members' options and use the defaults
it has sense, but I'm pretty sure I changed those settings in the past in my profile.
from 2780 users I see:
Configure guest and new user options for this theme (18 options currently set.)
Change current options for all members using this theme
Remove all members' options and use the defaults (1569 members currently using their own options.)
As admin, it is affecting your own theme preference, but not other users, I think,
It smells, the smell of bugs.
O:-) For now nobody complained, let's see how this will go in the next days
I looked into some users profiles, the most active ones, and they have enabled that option. I'll doubt that they choosed to receive notifications by mail for every topic they post in... but I'm not sure
