I don´t think it exist, but it would be very useful to have such a block.

Yeah, I fully intend to getting back to HNL development soon. I had started 1.4 awhile back, but got sidetracked. I'd be glad to add such a block to 1.4 but I know that is not soon enough for you. Sorry.

I actually wanted to do something more akin to a mailing list add-on though rather than use just the YA version.

Well I was just looking for a easy way for people to subscribe to the newsletters without going and modifying there account details...

I know its not hard to modify your account, but people are lazy, if there was a button/block on home page to subscribe to newsletter and the site was good... it would be quick and simple to do.

Maybe write a function so people can place it where ever they want to display a "Subscribe" or "Unsubscribe" to newsletters where ever they want to display it... header, footer... i dont know!?!

This block ive got works, but the code is v old and none compliant

Yes, that should be possible and similar to what I've done with the RavenNuke Legal module menu... can be placed anywhere with a simple line of code:

echo LGL_MENU
