In 7.9, I was able to unsubscribe someone from forum and topic notifications. This was useful because when you removed a person's permissions when they left a group, they still received notifications about things that were being posted that they should no longer be able to see.

Is there a way to alter/delete a member's subscriptions in 11.04? If not, will they still be notified of postings even though they do not have permission to see the posting?

Permissions are checked when sending post notification emails.

If you wanted to unsubscribe a member from email notification go to their forum profile as the forum admin and click the 'Edit Members Settings' at the top of their forum profile.

You then go to the 'Member Control Panel' where you can edit many aspects of their account including from the 'Subscriptions' tab their email notifications within forums.

Sorry but I just can't find it. "Go to their forum profile as the forum admin" doesn't seem like the set of words I am seeing on any admin display.

When I click on Membership Admin I can easily access the members but all I can see and change are registration details, profile info, forum preferences and admin and moderator functions. When I click on Forum Admin there is nothing member-specific.

Could you please be very precise on what words to click? Very sorry but I must be having a senior moment here.

The settings are not with in the Forum Admin area but are in the main pages of the forum.

In the forum pages click on a members name to view their forum profile. If you are logged in as an admin or a moderator when you view the members profile you get the option to 'Edit Members Settings' at the top of their forum profile.

You then go to the 'Member Control Panel' where you can edit many aspects of their account including from the 'Subscriptions' tab their email notifications within forums.

Thanx, that worked.

But I don't have member names with hyperlinks for all members (that I can find). Just a suggestion for a future release: either add a new link under Members Admin to access Members Settings, or add a hyperlink to the results page you get from Membership Admin to do the same. It would be easier to find and easier to use, IMHO. It would also be useful for an admin to be able to subscribe members to topics as well as to unsubscribe them.
