newsletters and users
I noticed that when someone joins as a User, they are automatically signed up for the newsletter. Is there a way to prevent this? Alot of the people who joined as Users don't want the newsletter.

Hi,

You can set the default 'ReceiveMail' option to No in Database->User->Properties, or add a hidden tag ReceiveMail = No to your signup form.

Cheers,

I did that and got this:

For radio, checkbox and select forms, you must specify the names and the values in the two textarea boxes one per line. The names are what is stored in the database, and the values is what is displayed in the browser.

What should I do where?

Alex told you to change the value of Default field to No. Go to Database->User->Properties, and change value of Default field to No in 'Newsletter' column. Should work.

Clarification:

I change the default to No and clicked Save and got this error:

For radio, checkbox and select forms, you must specify the names and the values in the two textarea boxes one per line. The names are what is stored in the database, and the values is what is displayed in the browser.

It won't change the default. Anyone know why?

Hi,

Sorry, it shouldn't be this hard. Enter into Form Names:

Yes
No

and the same thing for Form Values. That should fix it.

Cheers,
