I'm running magento 1.7.0.2 and I want the checkbox of the newsletter subscription on the registration page checked by default. I have followed a few hacks but they were all written for older versions of magento. Here's a link to one of the hacks which I tried and didn't work: Force newsletter subscription in Magento
Any help is greatly appreciated!
