In the »Personal Messaging  for every user there is the option ALWAYS UNCHECKED:
"Show a popup when I receive new messages."

It defaults to OFF.

How and where can I configure this option to default to ON instead?

Greetings!

Go To
Admin >> Configuration >> Themes and Layout >> Member Options

Choose your forum's theme >> Configure guest and new user options for this theme

Check Show a popup when I receive new messages.

you're done

Go to the same place but look at this setting: 'Change current options for all members using this theme' if you want to change it for all current members

Not quite. There's the "Save" button to consider.

Heh, there's always a save button. SMF isn't automatic in it's saving of settings.

Even in the Core Features page which looks like it should be automatic but isn't. And which did in early 2.1 builds actually become automatic until someone removed the crazy page entirely.

And it shouldn't be . An "Are you sure?" feature would be pushing it a bit, but a Save button should be a must IMO.

Agreed. There are so many settings that could do some really weird stuff if you mistakenly saved something you didn't want to.

Is this not getting OT a bit?

Thanks to    SychO and Steve!

A little OT never hurt anyone But you are right.
