Changing Private Message Defaults....
 

Is there anyone to change the default setting of a Private Message? Such as making:

Show Signature
Save a copy
Request Read Receipt

UNchecked?

Right now all those options have are checked each tiem a user sends a PM. Its been requested that they not be, as most have to uncheck them each time they send a PM.

Any suggestions?

in the template (not sure which one), each checkbox will have a line of HTML....then just add "unchecked" with quotes.

understand that?

hmm, kinda... i'll look. Thanks

I believe this is the part i need to change:

<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" valign="top"><normalfont><b>Options</b></normalfont></td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" valign="top"><smallfont>
<input type="checkbox" name="parseurl" value="yes" checked> <b>Automatically parse URLs:</b> automatically adds and around internet addresses.
<br><input type="checkbox" name="signature" value="no" $signaturechecked> <b>Show Signature:</b> include your profile signature. Only registered users may have signatures.
<br><input type="checkbox" name="savecopy" value="no" checked> <b>Save a copy:</b> Also save a copy in the 'Sent Items' folder.
$requestreceipt
</smallfont></td>

But when I change the value="Yes" to "No" it doesnt make a difference. I found this bit of code in the priv_sendprivmsg template.

Nevermind, I found it.

Instead of chaning the value to yes and no...i didnt notice the part that said 'checked' just as you suggested. Changing that to unchecked fixed it!

Thanks,
