<p>Right now we have this in the code in the <code>comment_notify_form_user_form_alter()</code> method in the comment_notify.module file:</p>
<div class="codeblock">

<p>And in <code>comment_notify_get_user_notification_setting()</code> we have:</p>
<div class="codeblock">
<pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php<br></span><span style="color: #007700">} else {<br> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$setting </span><span style="color: #007700">= </span><span style="color: #0000BB">db_select</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'comment_notify_user_settings'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'cnus'</span><span style="color: #007700">)<br> -></span><span style="color: #0000BB">fields</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'cnus'</span><span style="color: #007700">)<br> -></span><span style="color: #0000BB">condition</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'uid'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$uid</span><span style="color: #007700">)<br> -></span><span style="color: #0000BB">execute</span><span style="color: #007700">()<br> -></span><span style="color: #0000BB">fetchObject</span><span style="color: #007700">();<br><br> if (!</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$setting</span><span style="color: #007700">) {<br> return </span><span style="color: #0000BB">NULL</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br> }<br> else {<br> </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$users</span><span style="color: #007700">[</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$uid</span><span style="color: #007700">] = </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$setting</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br> }<br></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?></span></span></pre></div>
<p>The problem is when the user hasn't a row in the <code>comment_notify_user_settings</code> table, this makes the function return NULL and <code>$notify_settings</code> is used later to determine the default values of the comment settngis fields.</p>
<p>I attach a small patch in my next comment and later I will try to provide a test.</p>
