I have searched this forum looking for the answer to this question and it seems that the answer is a bit outdated. I am using 2.2.6.

I did manage to find some areas in the templates that I could change by simply adding "mode=thread" to the URL. However, there are still a couple of places where it is not in thread mode:

• After submitting a new topic, the user is taken to the non-thread-mode version of the thread.
  
• When using the "msg" BBCode in postings, the resulting posting link doesn't not contain "mode=thread" in the URL.

I have not been able to locate where to change these! I would actually prefer to somehow not use the "mode=thread" in the URL (like maybe have an admin setting to default all threads to thread mode), but for now, if anyone can help find these last two code locations, I would appreciate it very much!
