@sta777,
I don’t use Multisite myself but it should work fine. You need to activate Subscribe2 as a site wide plugin and in Subscribe2->Your Subscriptions there should be an area that lists other sub-blogs on the site and allows registered users to subscribe to them.

Thanks for the swift reply; I have activated Subscribe2 as a site wide plugin (from the Network) and it installs it to all sub-blogs fine, but there isn’t any area which lists any sub-blogs. The plugin is only visible/editable from the sub-blogs and not the Network.
@sta777,
That’s right (I think), but under the sub-blogs you should have access to Subscribe2->Your Subscriptions. In there you should see a list of other blogs and be able to add yourself as a member of that blog and subscribe at the same time.

Ok – I’m not seeing any sub-blogs listed on the Subscribe2->Your Subscriptions page on any of the sub-blogs. Also, if I subscribe to one sub-blog, it’s not adding me to the others, only the one I have subscribed to. Is there a way of being added to all of the sub-blogs when subscribing to just one? Shouldn’t there be a choice of sub-blogs to subscribe to?
@sta777,
My apologies, I have given you duff information. The plugin needs to be enabled on a per-site basis rather than site wide. In this case the plugin will search through the sub-blogs where Subscribe2 IS active and display these as options to subscribe to on the Your Subscriptions page.
As I said above I don’t use multisite and that is my defence (poor though it is) for sending you down the wrong path.

Ok thanks – that seems to work better; I can now see the other blogs!
More problems though! I have added each sub-blog to the ‘Subscribed Blogs’ part of ‘Your Subscriptions’, across all of the sub-blogs – so every sub-blog is subscribed to itself and all other sub-blogs.
When I then subscribe on one sub-blog and follow the instructions to activation, the email address isn’t activated and only appears in the sub-blog I have subscribed on. (For the purposes of testing I then manually activated the email). When I then publish a new post on a different sub-blog, nothing! I get the notification to my admin email address but not the one I have just subscribed.
Am I missing something here?
@sta777,
You aren’t really subscribing a blog to another blog, you are subscribing the currently logged in user to notifications for those sub-blogs.
When you add a new public subscriber (by entering their email address in the form) you are only adding them to notifications of that one sub-blog as all the different blogs have different public subscriber lists.
For a little more detail on the subscriber types have a read here.

Ok – thanks for your help. Looks like this isn’t going to do what I wanted after all. Shame as it’s a great plugin!
