Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Problem/Motivation
The description text for node_notify and comment_notify is confusing - people might not notice the difference between the word 'content' and 'comment' (it's quite easy, imho, to see the title of the module and after a while forget that node_notify is even an option). They will likely also be confused by the references to a second checkbox that's actually a dropdown.
Proposed resolution
The attached patch:
- puts 'content' and 'comments' in bold to draw attention to the difference
- gives an example of content as being an article authored by the user
- rather than listing the subscription options (All comments or replies only), which could be wrong, instead hint the site admin may have customised them
- removes references to 'check this box' when talking about the select input
- no longer talks about setting the dropdown to 'YES' when there's no such option
- shortens the slightly wordy description of unsubscribing
Remaining tasks
Agree wording and adjust patch if necessary.

cedeweyThanks for these improvements wturrell. I've tested out the text changes and agree that it helps the user understand what settings they are applying for themselves.
