Hi all,

I've been concerned about a bug with subscriptions for some time and have posted serveral messages across the board looking for help with not much sucess. In this process I've found a lot of other users who're having the same problem. I know that:-

1) Mail has to be switched on in admin
2) Each cat/forum/topic has an independent sub setting in it's settings (the pencil icon)
3) Mail is working new members are getting mails
4) I am not seeing subscription icons

I have done all this and it still doesn't work... but today I made a break through which I hope will get you all interested.

I had to set the db up again from scratch (nightmare) but as part of the process I looked again at subscription set up.

1) mail was switched on
2) set subscription for initial cat/forum (provided by snitz in default db).
3) Could now see the subscription icon both as admin and as another user.
4) as another user signed on and subscribed to that forum.
5) as admin added post to topic
6) as another user got the subscription mail!!!! Hurray BUT...
7) then added another category..
8) nothing works again, no subscription icon showing, no mails being sent, nada.
[actually it may now be working - but I'll keep checking]

I believe there is some sort of bug here, by outlining what I did above I hope someone can retrace the steps and recreate the problem.

I'm running the latest release 3.2? on a windows box.

Thanks

This is what I see:

In 3.3.03 and 4.0 beta 2, if you enable subscriptions on a forum that already exsists, it takes affect the first time. If it is a new forum you are adding, (post.asp?method=Forum&CAT_ID=2&type=0) it will not take effect if you enable it when you create it. You have go back and edit and enable the subscription again for it to take effect.

Enabling subscription on a new catagory seems to take effect ok if you enable subscriptions at the time of creating it. (post.asp?method=Category)

Confirm this is a bug.
In post_info.asp, line 882, change:

if strSubscription = 1 and CatSubscription > 0 then
    strSql = strSql & ", " & fSubscription
else
    strSql = strSql & ", 0"
end if

to this:

if strSubscription = 2 and CatSubscription > 0 then
    strSql = strSql & ", " & fSubscription
else
    strSql = strSql & ", 0"
end if
