auto subscribe to forum?

[matthew tucker]

Can I have my users automatically subscribed to a forum when they register? How would I do that? I can't work out how the subscription thing works.

You can change the default field value in the database from nothing to the forumid (IIRC that's how forum subscriptions, useless as they are, work).

"the default field value in the database" yeah but what field in what table?

"Useless as they are" - what do you mean by that?!

thanks for your help ...
