Clicking the checkbox next to "Set all users to "autosubscribe" by default", and then clicking the "Save Configuration" button, produces the following error on my site.

---------------------------------------------------
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin/settings/subscriptions on this server.

Apache/1.3.37 Server at hordearmy.com Port 80
---------------------------------------------------

I am logged in as an admin, and can change other settings (I used "Notify poster of own posts" for a test).
Being able to autosubscribe users to updates on their own content is great, and that's the primary reason I picked this module over others, but I can't seem to get it working? Is it a problem on my end?

Thanks!

I couldn't reproduce this problem.. no error in saving configuration with that checkbox checked. Can you literally check any other checkbox on the page and it saves ok? Anything in your webserver error logs?

I don't see any errors on the server.
Yes, I can click all the other checkboxes and save the settings. It's just the one to automatically subscribe users.
Could it be something with permissions somewhere?
Also, I tried to do it under my account (an admin) and the main admin account, with the same result for each.

Thanks!

maybe test with a new drupal install on another webserver, or under a different path on the same webserver. could also add some debug output to determine where the forbidden comes from.

Where is the field in the database that I can change so that this is activated? I can change it that way, and get the same result. I have no reason to turn it off once it's on, so that will work for me. Thanks.

set subscriptions_autoset to 1 in the variables table.

I just did this, then browsed back to the admin page for subscriptions, but the checkbox is still not checked. Shouldn't it be?

maybe the variables are cached, don't remember offhand how to clear that.
