I've set up a forum for my gliding club, which shares the same background. We would like to move away from Google Groups in favour of phpbb, and having the ability to auto-subscribe new users to certain forums (and all sub-topics) would be essential. So, +1 from me.aburstein wrote:I would also appreciate having this functionality.

Ditto. I have a small board consisting of closed group of about 20 members. There are three forums (rooms), I would like to have phpBB auto-notify each of the 20 users every time someone posts either a reply to an existing topic or a new topic in any or all of the three forums (rooms). The SPAM concern is non-existent as all would pre-approve the terms of the forum and it would be closed so no new users could be admitted with admin approval.Cooee wrote:I've set up a forum for my gliding club, which shares the same background.

The other thing we would like to be able is sign up new members to the forum on their behalf. Then we could send an email along the lines of "Welcome to the forum. Your username is xxx, your temporary password is yyy, to opt out of mass group email, click this link."
I guess the lines between a forum and an email distribution group are narrowing
