How to create a dedicated Subscribe/Unsubscribe form

I apologize for the outrageous delay.  I didn't notice that I had not replied.

You can set up a subscribe and a remove form quite easily.  Check out the ListMail form generator on the page "List Settings" -> "Signup Code".  Giving the ability to change the email address is more difficult, however, and would require some custom modifications.

I will consider this feature for a near-future release.  I like the way it is implemented on the page you display and think it might work for ListMail.  Of course, if I can expand on it and provide more options I will. :D

Regards!

Hi Dean,

Sorry for my delay too, I was waiting for a forum notice to say someone had replied and never came!  So I just checked in last night and saw your reply.

Thanks for the feedback, and for the most part I have it looking like that but not the change part.  Hopefully next release?

Thanks again,
Greg

As I am new to the forum...Hello first.
I was wondering how you check details are correct when using a form to change e-mail addresses?
Unless the form details are generated from a mailing link to confirm the subscriber. You wouldn't want someone playing by entering someone elses e-mail address to change.
If there were to be a mail list link similar to the unsubscribe link, I wonder if all lists subscribed to could be automatically included on the form. This could help when you have people on multiple lists.
This would allow selected lists to be unsubscribed, or all list e-mails for that subscriber to be updated at the same time.
Maybe there are simple ways of doing this that I have missed.
Just a thought... I am still reading the instructions.. :-)
