# Default Email Setting

 * Hello,
 * SO I understand that I can set the default email subscription on the “Email Options”
   tab of a group. I’ve set this to “Weekly Digest”. However, when a new member 
   joins the group, they are automatically subscribed to “All Updates”, despite 
   this NOT being my default setting/option.
 * In the Manage > Members area, I see this message:
 * > Site Admin Only: update email subscription settings for ALL members to the 
   > default: All Updates. Warning: this is not reversible so use with caution. 
   > Make it so!
 * Which also implies that “All Updates” are the default setting, failing to honour
   my default request?
 * Am I missing something?

 * Hm. In my tests, the default group setting feature is working as expected. The‘
   Site Admin Only’ message at Manage > Members is showing the proper text, and 
   users joining the group get the correct default setting (“Weekly Summary”, in
   my tests).
 * Have you by chance written a plugin or other theme mod that uses either the ‘
   ass_default_subscription_level’ or ‘ass_get_default_subscription’ filter? This
   could be interfering with the value stored in the database. If so, there’s still
   a bug in the plugin – the radio button at Manage > Email Options should reflect
   the *actual* (filtered) value, and in this case it is not.
