I will add an option for this in Web.config in a future release so that you can have the opt in by default. Currently it is not possible.

I do think it is better etiquette not to automatically opt people in but I will make it possible for you.

Best,

You would probably need to construct a SQL statement to update or insert rows into your database. We don't have forums on our own sites so I can't help you out with that one.

If you are a developer and want future users to be auto-subscribed to forums when they register, you could create a User Registered Event Handler to do the same SQL updates/inserts.

I just took a quick look at our mojoPortal database, I think you'll just need to insert rows into mp_forumsubscriptions (one row for each forum ID/user ID combo). What I would personally do is query this table after subscribing myself to a forum or two, just to be sure about the data format. Then you can set up insert statements that draw from a select join of mp_users and mp_forums. Some users might already have subscription rows out there, so you might want to clear all existing subscriptions before starting.

SQL tool will vary according to your platform. We use MySQL and I like HeidiSQL for that. If it's SQL Server you can probably use SQL Server Management Studio or something equivalent. You could also use the delivered SQL Query Tool, although I haven't used that one myself.

As always, double check your work, and most importantly, be sure you have a good backup of your database before you start!
