I'm at work right now, so I can't give you the exact column, but the trick you're missing is that most site and user configurations are stored in a serialized array, not a separate field. Since the system tables have no idea what modules you'll be running, they store all the module variables in a single field.
<br><br>The code on the particular field is the right place to make your modification, but I may have given you the wrong way to do it. Unfortunately, other people have worked on the module and I don't completely understand all of what other people have done. And I was sleepy when I answered your email. This, however, I do know: the checkbox element has a 'checked' value you can set to any state you want. If you set the checkbox to 'checked', but only if the user has not set a value, you should be golden.
<br><br>Check this out:<br><br><a href="http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/form_checkbox">http://drupaldocs.org/api/4.6/function/form_checkbox</a><br><br>That 'checked' variable needs something that operates like this:
<br><br>if(isset(subscriptions_auto){$checked=subscriptions_auto;}else{$checked=strue;}<br>... or something like that.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Dan Ziemecki<br>Philosopher. Curmudgeon. Nerd.

Hi Dan,<br><br>I have tried that option. Problem with changing it to 'true' or '1' is<br>that the checkbox functionality gets messed up.<br><br>If an user unchecks autosubscribe in his user settings and<br>'saves'..the next time he clicks on edit profile it shows as checked .
<br>this is bound to confuse users.<br><br>The functionality Im looking for is , when a new user account is<br>created ..auto subscribe is checked by default. But ofcourse, since we<br>are giving him an option to uncheck it..it should remain unchecked
<br>once he unchecks it.<br><br>This is why I wanted to know which database table column stores this<br>information.<br><br>I am also confused what $user->subscriptions_auto offers since there<br>is no subscriptions_auto column anywhere .
