Set alerts as on globally? (User opt out rather than in)

[SEOmers]

Is there anyway to set alerts to be turned on as default?


Like this thread I'm posting, its set to on? Why not on mine?

Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...

I mean for members? So it's turned on for members without them needing to do anything?

So they have to turn it off rather than on basically

For new users you can set it in ACP -> Option -> User Registration.

For existing users it requires an SQL query.

UPDATE xf_user_option SET default_watch_state = 'watch_no_email'

That will change it for everyone, regardless of their current setting.
