How do I turn off notifications (for replies) on a forum for all users (but still let them be a member)?

So there is a setting on our community that makes every registered member, also a member to a specific subgroup (with a forum that they automatically receive notifications from).

I still want everyone to be a member of this subgroup (so they should still be able to see the content), but I do not want everyone to receive notifications for that forum (or at least, not from a reply from that forum).

How do I do that? Turning notifications for forum off in general is not the solution, since some members want to opt in voluntarily. 

Thank you in advance!

    Hi Irene,

    The subscriptions are added by the Forum Auto Subscriber plugin. This plugin handles not only subscribing users to forums in new groups they join, but also subscribing members to new forums that are created in their groups. This is site-wide, so turning it off may not be desired, but it is an option.

    What method are you using to subscribe new members to the group? If, for example, you're using an automation, you could modify it to remove the subscription after adding the user to the group.

  • Hi  , thank you. I have not find a solution yet...

    We have the root community and then several private listed groups (Lobby and Alerts). All 'registered users' and 'Everyone' is automatically a member of that group, after the member is added to the community. 

    In addition, we have the extension 'Forum Auto Subscribed' enabled, which ensures that new group members are subscribed to all forums in group and all group members are subscribed to a new forum when it is created. We are currently not using the automation 'Auto subscribe user to a group application'. 

    However. For those 2 private listed groups I 

    - do want every member of the community to be a member of the group (therefore, it is private listed)

    - do want every member to receive email notifications of the initial forum threads and blog posts (unless they opt out)

    - do not want every member to receive email notifications of replies of those forum threads and blog post threads. I know I can disable the notifications 'blog post comment' (already did) and 'Forum reply', but I do want users to be able to receive replies when they give an opt-in. Therefore, I do not want to disable the entire notifications part for replies or comments. 

    Is there a way for me to set it up as described above?

    Thank you so much!
