@john,
Multisite is supported but Subscribe2 must be activated on a blog by blog basis. Public Subscribers work the same way while Registered Subscribers can also see other network blogs using Subscribe2.

Excellent, that’s fine then.
What do you mean exactly by “Registered Subscribers can also see other network blogs”?
Do you mean in case other blogs are not public?
Or that if a Reg. Subscriber registers at one blog he may also comment at another one?
@john,
In the subscribe2->Your Profile screen there is a list of other blogs but it excludes archived, deleted, mature and spam blogs.
If they are not a member of that blog they are added when they choose to get notifications from that site.

One more question related to your first answer above:
If I setup Public Subscriber on a network site (sub-domain) it means that there will be single registration process both for becoming a subscriber of the sub-site AND for getting blog updates? Is that right?
@john,
No, Public Subscribers in Subscribe2 are not registered in WordPress.

That’s a pity.
I really can’t get the idea why a visitor has to register twice at a blog – once for commenting and another one for getting the blog updates/newsletters.
Is there no way to add a check box to subscriber’s registrations so that they also opt-in for the newsletter?
@john,
Yes, there is the possibility to add a check box to the registration form and the comment form. These are enabled in the Subscribe2->Settings page in the Registered Users tab under the Auto-Subscribe heading.

I already enabled that option but nothing shows at registration page. Do I have to also add there, in registration page, the S2 shortcode?
@john,
It’s working right now on my sites. Are you using the core /wp-login.php?action=register page? Have you got other plugins running on that page?

No, not the core page.
It’s Multisite and the main site has it’s own shortcode for registrations and the network sites either re-direct visitors to the same or another per site page using “Join my Multisite” plugin.
Is there a way to insert the checkboxes in custom pages?
@john,
That would need “Join my Multisie” to support hooking into their functions and I can’t see that this is available from their code.

OK, thanks for looking into this.

Hi again, still trying to set this up correctly…
As I can’t insert the check box in my custom registration pages, I’ll opt for auto-subscription option. But I need to verify 2 related points with you:
1. When I enable the “automatic” option in auto-subscribe for Registered Users (Subscribe new users registering with your blog) does this mean that any user the registers for posting a comment (and gets the default user role “subscriber”) for instance will automatically receive further updates for the blogs I’ve chosen?
2. I’ve also checked the last option at the same settings page (“Show one-click subscription on profile page:”) but when I check my profile, I see that the corresponding checkbox is currently un-checked under Email Subscription – Subscribe / Unsubscribe – Receive notifications. I understand this should be checked as my profile is well listed under the Registered Subscribers list. I’m I missing something here?
@john,
1/ Yes, anyone shoe newly registered will automatically be registered to all categories on the blog they are registering for, and will get notifications for future new content.
2/ The One Click Subscriptions adds two buttons to the Your Subscriptions page under a “One Click Subscription / Unsubscription” heading. One will, on being clicked subscribe you to all categories and the other does the opposite. It saves your users a click to uncheck all categories and then click submit.
