      No, I mean is there a global option for all users so that by default they will have this turned OFF ?

        You can edit the registration templates so new users have it deselected by default; however the checkbox is dynamically selected by the code, not in the templates.

          Admin CP -> Templates -> Modify -> [expand list]:

          editpost. remove the code in red:

          <br><input type="checkbox" name="email" $emailchecked value="yes"> <b>Email Notification:</b> emails sent to you whenever someone replies. Only registered users are eligible.

          New Posting Templates -> newthread and newreply. remove the code in red:

          <br><input type="checkbox" name="email" value="yes" $emailchecked> <b>Email Notification:</b> emails sent to you whenever someone replies. Only registered users are eligible.

          now the "Email Notification" box will always be unchecked by default.

                <input type="checkbox" name="email" value="yes" $emailchecked>

                Shouldn't the value's be "no" as well?

                      How would I change it so it is set to no by default upon registering?

                        My above instructions will override the user's preferences. So it doesn't matter what the user selects in their options when registering.

                          But they can still choose to use it if they want to later on in user cp right? I don't want to block subscriptions entirely... I just want to have it turned off when they first log on.

                            Yes, but it will still be unchecked by default when they post. They can still check the box when posting, but it will never be enabled by default, regardless of their user cp settings.
