CMS Made Simple Forums

I am using NMS for the first time and I have everything working except the {unsubscribe} function.

I have it embedded in the newsletter and everything appears to work i.e. the subscriber is directed to the unsubscribe note on the website when they click the link, they receive the confirmation email, and when they click on that they are once again directed to the appropriate note on the website.

When I look in a admin though the subscriber still appears as confirmed in the user list.

I am not sure if it is important but I added the (test) subscriber manually in admin.

Any help very welcome.

Sorry to bump this one but could anyone at least give me an outline of what should happen in admin when a subscriber unsubscribes? Is there name deleted, marked as unconfirmed or what?

Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks, Michael.

A user can subscribe to more then one mailinglist, so I guess he will only be deleted from that specific list.

He will remain confirmed, and the name never will be deleted

Many thanks Jos.

After playing around with it some more I found that the test list I had created was set to Private, and it seems that subscribers can't unsubscribe from a Private list. I proved this by setting the list to Public and when I re-tested the unsubscribe function worked as expected. It seems a bit odd. I would have thought that a subscriber should have the option to unsubscribe from any list: public or private.

Is there a way to allow someone to unsubscribe from a private list? I have the site set up so that all people subscribing to a newsletter go into one list. I then manually move the members of the organization into another private list.

Is there a way to use the original unsubscribe link to allow them to be removed from all email list they belong to regardless of whether it's public or private?
