Only admins can unsubscribe from forum notifications

Forum users can subscribe to forum notification emails, but they can't unsubscribe.

The forum subscription list (EditSubscriptions.aspx) can be edited and saved, but it only honors subscriptions, unsubscriptions are ignored. Admins can cancel subscriptions using the subscribers dialog (SubscriberDialog.aspx), though.

Steps to reproduce on the demo site:

  1. Login as admin@admin.com
  2. Subscribe to the forum "Discussions About Cars"
  3. Unsubscribe using the "Unsubscribe" link (BUG: Unsubscription is ignored)
  4. Unsubscribe using the "X Subscribers" link (unsubscription is honored, but this link is admin-only)

Re: Only admins can unsubscribe from forum notifications

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for the bug report, this is now fixed in the source code repository and on the demo site and this site.

For anyone who needs to fix it on their own site, use a text editor to edit the file /Forums/Controls/ForumList.ascx

Look for the 2 elements id="tdSubscribed" and id="tdSubscribedAlt"

and change

enableviewstate="false"

to

enableviewstate='<%# ShowSubscribeCheckboxes %>'

note that the use of single quotes is important

Best,

Joe
