Global enabling of all email notifications for members. Some guidance needed.

Here's what the email notifications section of my config-defaults.php file looks like:

So do I change all instances of "0" to "1"? And do I edit this config-defaults.php or should I paste that entire block of email notification config lines into config.php and overide them there?

Thanks for you help.

    I believe you should copy the settings into your config.php and change them there. There's a note in, config-defaults.php, about this:

    // DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE.  
    // If you want to override the settings in this file then edit config.php.  
    // This is the global application configuration file that sets up default  
    // values for configuration settings.

    Emails work!

    One problem:
    Since I use the Q&A plugins I now get a duplicate email when a thread is in Q&A format and someone comments on it.

    One emails says: user1 answered your question.

    and the other says: user1 commented on...

    So How do I stop the "user1 answered your question" emails because if I stop the "commented on" emails then the non-Q&A threads won't receive notifications.

    Thanks!
