Change default email notifications from send to don't send

Took me a while to figure this out so I thought I’d share

BP Group Documents sends immediate email notification of document uploads to all group members by default unless they have saved a no preference in their email settings. This includes members who have never saved a preference.

If you want to change the default to only sending to members who have saved a yes preference then change around line 107 in notifications.php

if ( in_array( 'no' , $member_notif_prefs ) ) {
                continue ;
            }

to

if ( ! in_array( 'yes' , $member_notif_prefs ) ) {
                continue ;
            }

this changes argument
members preference equal to no don’t send
to
to members preference not equal to yes don’t send

Simple , neat and cuts out a whole load of unsolicited email.
