How do I make the default to OFF of the subscribe.form CS variable??

The short answer is that this isn't configurable.  It defaults to checking to see if the user is subscribed to the current thread.  If they are subscribed, then it defaults to 0FF.  If they are not subscribed, then it defaults to ON.

Here are your options:

1. Write some javascript in the template to turn it off.
2. Change the core code to WebGUI in your install to work just like you'd like. (Given your hosting situation, this may or may not be a valid option)
3. Submit an RFE to have WebGUI change the way it works by default.

Here's the answer folks:

Edit your "Collaboration System, Post Form Template" template, and add this code after the subscribe call, like this

-------------- 

<tmpl_unless user.isVisitor>
<!--
            <tr>
                <td><tmpl_var subscribe.label></td>
                <td><tmpl_var subscribe.form></td>
            </tr>
-->
</tmpl_unless>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
//turn subscription off
function subscribeChk() {
if (document.forms[4].subscribe[0].checked) {
    document.forms[4].subscribe[1].checked = true;
    //alert(document.forms[4].subscribe[0].value);   
    }
}
subscribeChk();
//-->
</script>

--------------

I've chosen to comment out the subscribe code so that the user doesn't see it (or alter it). 

 For me, the form containing the subscribe radio buttion was the 5th un-named form, therefore 'forms[4]' in the JS code. 

If you need to alter an un-named form elsewhere and need to figure out what number it is, I recommend using FireFox with the View Source Chart add-on extension to view the code and count how many <form> tags there are in the HTML code.  After installing and activating the add-on, go to View > View Source Chart.
