Precheck subscription checkboxes under comment

Sorry about the delay in writing back to you.

I’m afraid that’s not possible. The checkboxes are unchecked by default as your readers must opt in to be emailed about your website. If the box was checked by default, they would receive a subscription confirmation email even when they did not explicitly consent to subscribe; they may not even have seen the boxes for example. This is not something we wish to encourage.

I hope this clarifies things a bit.
