I gave you his info because I paid him (a modest amount) to develop plugins to solve the problem. It would be great if he can get a donation.

Here are the problems he solved:

1. If you are a user and subscribe to a topic you will get notifications. However, if you actually post to the topic and do not check the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” it will unsubscribe you from the topic. Robin created a plugin that makes the check box automatically checked if you are subscribed to a topic.

2. If a user subscribes to a forum he not automatically subscribed to new topics. Robin created a plugin to fix that as well. The only thing that you have to consider is that if there is an existing forum, once a user is subscribed they will not receive notifications to previous topics. If they are interested in them then they would need to go back and subscribe to those specific topics. However, going forward a user would always be notified of new topics posted.

Hope this helps. Again, Robin is great and I would love to see him be rewarded for fixing huge bugs within bbPress.
