  1. That box is always checked.  Bit of a pain but not that much.

  2. My bad, although the blame really lies with Allan (or Vilmar). You can’t catch all the bugs.

    The code read

    {if logged_in}
    <input type="checkbox" name="notify_me" value="no" {notify_me} /> Notify me of follow-up comments?
    {/if}

    I put in a work-around that I think will run

    {if logged_in}
    <input type="hidden" name="notify_me" value="no" />
    <input type="checkbox" name="notify_me" value="yes" {notify_me} /> Notify me of follow-up comments?
    {/if}

    HTML checkboxes kind of suck. They load as checked, and they don’t take a NO for a default value. So I put in a dummy with the same name and the negative default. IF you check the box, the value overwrites and changes to positive ... and it seems so far that the checkbox now loads unchecked. Just setting the negative value in the instantiation part wasn’t doing anything, even though it looks like it ought to.

    So now the box loads without a check in it. At least for me. So far?

  3. Seems to work. I’ll check my inbox to see if I have a double email. My email address IS bmews, so I get an email everytime anyone posts or comments. But if I myself comment AND the checkbox is checked, then I get a second email sent that a followup has been posted.

    Just because I managed to massage the code so that the checkmark is not present does not fully guarantee that the “checked” value isn’t set. Well, it should, but I’ve learned never to really trust code with my life.

    So this message is actually a test case. There should be just one email sent to me for it, if I got it right.

  6. I went through my settings (even updated my bio a little while doing so as it was getting pretty dusty), but didn’t see anything that would help me to control the “Notify me of follow-up comments” checkbox.

    For me, it’s still checked, and I continue to manually uncheck it.
