Subscribe to all topics button for GS communities

gistfile1.txt

<!-- Subscribe to all topics. -->
<!-- Steps to a subscribe-to-all-topics button:
1. make a product for all topics, get ID number (87939: http://michelleglauser.jarg0n.com/gsfnmichelle/products/gsfnmichelle_all_topics)
2. make all new topics automatically be assigned to that product by ID number (through a jQuery click on that element)
3. hide that product by ID number
4. make a subscribe button on the front page
5. give the subscribe button a call to the product page's follow button -->


<!-- Header HTML: -->

<div class="sb_pod" id="notifs"> 
    <div class="clearfix" id="email_notifications"> 
        <!-- Personalize this text: -->
        <h3>Want to subscribe to every topic?</h3> 
            <div class="inner_content"> 
                <a href="#" class="button" id="email_subscription" style="margin-top:4px; ">Checking status . . .</a>

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for a great piece of code! take a look at my modification (needs a little refactoring, I'll get to it soon, I promise)
that solves a small bug (with users who are only "half" logged in), and adds the button to the latest updates page as well.
