Set default view? (General)

by Laurence ⌂ @, Edinburgh, Scotland, Friday, August 07, 2009, 10:52 (5377 days ago)

Is it possible to force the default view for new users/lurkers? I understand people's own preference is set once they chance the view, which is fine, but I would like to have control over the default.

I notice the advanced setting has no function in the current version.

Hi,

Is it possible to force the default view for new users/lurkers?

Advanced settings → default_view (0 = default, 1 = table)

Ah, I didn't realise this option did anything. The documentation needs updated! :)

I've just tried setting default_view to 1 and it hasn't worked :(

Tried that, doesn't work. I'm running FF 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 9.04.

Set default view? - does work

Hi both of you, I followed the advice and changed it to 1. At first it seemed it hadn't worked so I checked it in a browser I never use (chrome) and it had worked. It showed up in table view. This means Newcomers will see it in table view so you shouldn't worry.
