That where we are in our forum.

We have disabled all email notifications as well, but we are still working on fine tuning some encoding issues between an old legacy forum and the new one.

When we decide to enable digests, we may go for weekly digests only for those who have visited the site within a few weeks; and have not thought about notification emails yet; but we may just disable them.

I think users can set preferences about these “following a topic” notifications. No?

OBTW, here is the `user_options` table description in the DB. Maybe there is something there which catches your attention?
