Yet another question from me:
We have not used the subscriptions feature (cron was not configured) for about a year. Now that I have upgraded to the latest version, I was thinking about setting it up, but I am worried that my users who have been using the "subscription" buttons will get spammed with 100's of que'd up posts. I would rather the posts they receive start from "today" not 300 days ago. Any advice?

You could set the w3t_Subscriptions.S_Last column to the highest-numbered post for the relevant board. I'm not sure if that can be done with a single query. I don't have time to work out the details of this right now, but maybe someone else can do this.

Did users subscribe to forums before... or you had the option off.
I don't think it will send everything.... doesn't it start from when you activate the feature?

The option has been turned on for a year in the settings, just the cron was not configured.

Oh....  I'm not sure how it works.. maybe someone will know of a why just to reset all subscriptions.... and make people resubscribe. Might be the safest way.

I would suggest that you first check the w3t_Subscribe table. If the table is empty then you can switch on cron safely - nobody has subscribed.
Alternatively empty the w3t_Subscribe table and inform your users to re-subscribe

Easier yet. Backup your w3t_subscribe table. erase all members from it. Run subscriptions.php from your browser. This will update subscriptions. Then simply restore the backup of subscribe database table.
