Hello,
A few times I've felt that my users' default notify preference (usually set on their user profile edit page) is being turned off randomly. That is, the default started out being "All comments" but was changed to "No notifications" without any action by the user.
I can't replicate this because I don't know what caused it. Apologies for the "fuzzy" nature of this issue. I'm just curious if anyone has noticed this behavior.
Thanks.

gregglesWhen this happens it seems "normal" priority but "needs more info" until we figure it out.

d4rkngel CreditAttribution: d4rkngel commentedI'm experimenting this same issue, it happens whenever a user publish a new comment, their preferences get overwritten with "No notifications", I have no idea what could cause this behaviour either.
Sorry for my poor english...

WildBill CreditAttribution: WildBill commentedWhen a logged in user changes the checkbox at the bottom of the comment form, does that modify their default preference? In that case, it would be "by design" I suppose...
Comment #4
greggles@WildBill, yes, the idea is that people who have not yet set a preference should get the checkbox at the bottom of the comment as their preference the first time that they use it.

d4rkngel CreditAttribution: d4rkngel commentedI didn't notice that he was talking about the comments default preference, yeah I think that is the default behavior, but my problem is with "Receive node follow-up notification e-mails", this is turned off each time a user post a comment and I don't think this is the default behavior since below that option says "You can not disable notifications for individual threads." :\

myha CreditAttribution: myha commentedHello, I found a place where this issue can cause (in my case sure). I have installed Profile module and created few categories with fields. When I save my account on some category (not Account) my comment notify settings back to defaults.
Attached patch fix this.
