Allow Administrators and Moderators to send you email notices?
Looks like Gforum has a built in e-mailer, but is there a way for a user to opt-out?

I used to use UBB and it had a setting in the user profile "Allow Administrators and Moderators to send you email notices? Yes or No"

I can't find this in Gforum, am I missing something?

I have 4,700 users and If I sent out a message to all, I would probably get 50 or more emails saying, take me off your list. Has this question come up before?

Thanks

You might be able to get around this by adding a user field - say, "Email Opt Out", then if users complain, you modify their user record and set the opt-opt column. Then, when mass-mailing, you do a search for users and just send to users with opt-out set to no. If you wanted users to be able to opt-out from their profile, just add a field named whatever_you_named_the_column to the user profile template, and they can change it themselves.
