Sorry that I wasn't clear before.

The problem I am having is that even though users get a message saying that they are already subscribed, they actually never completed the subscription process which involves selecting a password. All users of the forum were added to the forum using the 'add subscribers' text area.

As such, they can receive forum posts by email, but they cannot log into the forum to post a new message. It seems that these people are listed as unregistered users.
------------------
After writing the above I ran through the whole process again and had a light-bulb moment. Are 'subscribe' and 'register' two separate things? If so, then what I want is to be able to send users a link to register for the forum, and not merely subscribe.  Is there an automatic way to do this? Because a subscribed user cannot post messages unless they are registered. Am I right?

Thank you.
