I agree with allanleonard and Gary Mooney that admins should be able to control forum email subscriptions. In my case, I'm migrating our members to our new feature-rich Wild Apricot site from multiple services (blog, database, Yahoo group) in order to decomplicate things. I'm able to make it relatively seamless for them *except* for this one deficiency.
200 of our nearly 1000 members are signed up on the Yahoo Group that we're transitioning over to the WA-based discussion forum, and I would have preferred to just set them up myself with their previously-stated preferences for frequency of mailing (immediate, daily, weekly). Instead, I run the risk of losing some of those people from our discussions because of the extra (albeit easy) step involved of resubscribing.
Additionally, is there any way to find out how many members are signed up for a discussion forum? And who? The only way to do this now, that I can see, is by going member-by-member to viewing each person's subscription.
Knowing how many people (and which ones) are using the forum subscriptions would be a good guide as to how beneficial the service is for the overal group. Even if it forums are accessible without being subscribed for the emails, knowing the number of subscriptions would let us know if people are dedicated to getting the updates therein.
