Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure if this feature makes sense.

One reason is that when you add a subscriber, he may or may not become a Nabble user. He could just subscribe and never register, thus accessing your forum content entirely from email. So, to us, when you add a subscriber, we don't have a user id associated with that subscriber, so we can't add a subscriber as as he is a user.

Does this make sense?

But on the other hand, I do see your point. If the subscriber becomes a registered user, and he wants to go to the forum to see stuff, he should automatically be able to enter that forum. Is that what you want?
