I have a few hundred users. We want to subscribe them to our main forum/mailing list in bulk, rather than having to teach them do it themselves.
So, I think I need to create entries the fud_forum_notify table.
1) is it safe to delete the few subcriptions I have by merely deleting the row for its association in the fud_forum_notify table?
2) is it ok to create subscriptions simply by creating a new entry in the fud_forum_notify table?
the logic is like this, but I know the proper commands.
get a list of ids from fud_users id column
for each fud_user id
insert fud_forum_notify set user_id = fud_user.id, set forum_id=5
-- or extracting a list or user ids into a temporary table, setting all forum_ids to 5, then appending? those records.

Thanks!
Works like a charm.
If you know the forum id of the forum you want to bulk subcribe people to, and be sure to get your table names correct. (prefix will differ from mine, ie: fud32_users)
Also, doing this subscribes anonymous (user id #1). I just took that entry out of the notify table.
