I have a recurring problem with my forum posts (new topics, not replies) being emailed out to a large number of past users regardless of their current participation on the forum – according to WP Mail Log. I deactivate bbPress Notify to troubleshoot and on re-activation I see the message:
“bbPress Notify (No-Spam) could not find an active bbPress plugin. It will not load until bbPress is installed and active.”
Well, bbPress is most certainly installed and active. And it does seem to reload but doesn’t fix the problem.

Are the notifications going out to anyone who clicked on “Subscribe” at the top of the forum – which means they get emails for ever after? If so, can I clear that? And can I remove that “Subscribe” option so that users only ever get emails if they check the little box at the bottom?
