No that is not correct. Every single borad I join its always on and you tick it off.

Every single user that registers complains to me about this. They also join other boards, its purely a ubbthreads issue.

The issue is its set to off by default, it should be on.

Also it complies as there is notification in the email telling you how to remove and after all the user just completed their subscription, batted through a email check as well as captcha.

It really is a bug and most annoying. Not every user clearly goes through the profile and by the default being off leaves it off as they did not understand.

Just any notification should be on and let them choose off.

As I said I have got around this my cron turning them all on but you should not have too.
