 * When viewing Registered Subscribers, there are no checkboxes to select email 
   addresses for bulk action. The bulk actions hense don’t do anything.
    This is
   a multisite installation. I applied your fix from another thread to get the email
   addresses to display properly.

 * The only bulk action applicable is ‘Delete’ anyway, I suspect the UI just needs
   a tidy up.

 * I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. The bulk activities I’m trying to use are under Bulk
   Management and include “Bulk Update Categories” and “Bulk Update Format”.

 * So in the table there are no checkboxes on the left side of the table?
 * I’ll have to check this on a multisite test install if that’s the case.

 * Correct, there is no way to select subscribers for bulk actions.

 * On checking the code it seems this is intentional, if you are happy editing code
   I can show you where edits needs made but you might want to test and make sure
   the changes don’t allow access to those you’d rather not make such changes.

 * I can edit the code. However, the next time the plug-in is updated it will overwrite
   won’t it?
    Why would it be intentional that you can’t select users for the bulk
   functions? Why are the functions there if they don’t work?

 * The code would get over written if an updated is pushed.
 * Why was it done this way – I honestly can’t remember, that code was written years
   ago and as I don’t use Multisite myself I never really get to test those portions
   of the code. The Bulk drop downs are in there incorrectly for Multisite and standard
   WordPress installs though so it’s a bug really.

 * Got it. So, do you have a code recommendation to change or would you fix it in
   a future release?
    I have hundreds of sites and thousands of users to update.

 * I cannot update and release code via WordPress anymore as I sold the code. I 
   have forked the code myself and am currently updating it back porting fixes from
   Subscribe2 HTML which is still mine.
