Users getting subscribed by mistake (not ticking the checkbox)

[kylelondonuk]

Hi there,

We have a few users intermittently getting subscribed to a post's comments by mistake. At first I (of course!) thought it must be user error and they were just ticking the checkbox by mistake, but it's now affected multiple people, so I believe it's genuine.

To confirm our settings:

• Enable default checkbox: yes
• Checked by default: no
• Subscription type: all new comments
• Advanced subscription: no

I have studied the plugin code and can see that the add_subscription() method only fires when the 'subscribe-reloaded' $_POST data is not empty, so I really don't see where this could be coming from.

Has anybody else encountered this, or do you have any ideas from past experience?

I can send you my system log or anything else you need. And I've enabled logging as of 30 minutes ago to see if that helps me understand.

Thank you
