<td><input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="subscription[{$listid}]" {if $subscription[$listid] ne ""}checked="checked"{/if} /></td>
<td>{$newslists[idx].name}</td>

Actually, you're really hurting the user experience here. If you just want people who are registering to have the box preticked, but members to act correctly (so they can tell what they are subscribed to), you should do this:

{if not $login} checked="checked"{/if}

That way, during the registration process they are ticked, but when visiting their profile, only what they are really subscribed to is ticked.
