Hello,

The description in the "subscribe" fieldset which gets added to nodes seems confusing to users who may not even realize that "subscribe" means "get emails". I suggest having a textarea in your config form, which lets site owners set the text to whatever they want.

I have done this on my own site. Please see my attached screenshot. As you can see, I made it more obvious to users what it was they were signing up for.

Thanks,
Richard

Nice. You're doing exactly the right thing, tuning Subscriptions where you feel it's needed for your site.

We cannot aim to make Subscriptions perfect for your needs and for everyone else's, too. Subscriptions already has a challenging number of configuration options, and we will not add to that number for cosmetic reasons that do not have an overwhelming appeal.

Fair enough, just thought I'd mention it ;)

For anyone curious, I did this on my own site through the magic of CSS (which let you add text content to a page-- inelegant, I know, but it gets the job done. A better solution would be a hook_form_alter approach, but I didn't have the time).

fieldset#subscribe #edit-footer:after {
    content: "Please select if you wish to receive emails when updates or replies are made. You can manage all of your subscriptions on your account page.";
    font-size: 10pt;
}
