Title:
  "Automatically subscribe users" should be optional in forum settings

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Mahara 1.4 dev version

  When creating / editing a group forum, some mandatory settings are
  hidden in "Settings". Not making settings visible immediately suggests
  that you don't have to click on them if you want to leave the default
  settings. However, as "Automatically subscribe users" is a mandatory
  field though it is a checkbox, the user is taken back to the edit
  screen after submitting his forum creation / editing. That should not
  happen.

  I would not make "Automaticall subscribe users" a mandatory field in
  the way it is at the moment with only one checkbox as it has to be
  chosen. Thus, there is no choice.

  Furthermore, I would put any mandatory fields that need to be reviewed
  on the first screen.

  The mandatory fields "Order" and "Who can create topics" behave
  differently from "Automatically subscribe users" as they already have
  a default setting chosen. Thus, they could actually become not
  mandatory fields and stay in Settings.
