I was wondering, is it safe to change the default value in user preferences re emial notifications being sent out to 1 (so they send) instead of 0?
And if i do that, it should mean that all new members will recieve emials?
Most of my members are unaware of that option and since the vast majority of them crave the reviews, but dont knwo they can set that in their preferences, if i could change the default in the table to 1, then they woudl automatically recieve emails (once 3.3 comes out...) and if they then wish they can turn it off.
thanks

You can do that, and yes it will change. 🙂 New members only.
I was thinking of doing that myself.

i thought you probably could but wasnt sure and figured it would be best to ask.
fanfictionworld, this is how i have done it and it worked like a charm 😀
Log into phpmyadmin and locate your fanfiction tables.
Find the table _authorprefs and select that from the list on the left (assuming phpmyadmin is relatively uniform)
This should bring up a list of things for your authorprefs including;
Field, type, attributse, null, DEFAULT, Extra, Action
in the field list look for
newreviews :its current default is 0
click the little pencil button for newreveiws (this will let you edit it)
change the default value to 1 and then press save
On mine i am doing the same to newrespond (when an author responds to reveiew)

Just be sure your hosting can handle that kind of traffic. Also, be aware that it's kind of a no-no to send e-mails to people who haven't specifically requested they get emails. You're spamming them. I would definitely go into the language files and change the message to tell them exactly how to opt out of these emails.
That is an excellent idea tammy, i didnt think of that. I have had so many moan to me about not getting them i just assumed everyone would want them.
I might also add smt to my news item to indicate it can be turned off as well as adding clear instruction on the reveiew notification about how to turn them off if they no longer want them
