Default to mode=thread (Design/Themes)
I've made a few changes to the template to create a default a threaded mode & would love for this to be an option in the admin section.
In /templates/default/subtemplates/index.tpl.inc:
Find this line and comment it out with <!-- and -->
<a href="index.php?mode=thread&id={$data.$element.id}" title="{#open_whole_thread#}"><img src="templates/{$settings.template}/images/complete_thread.png" title="{#open_whole_thread#}" alt="[*]" width="11" height="11" /></a>
Find this line:
href="index.php?id={$data.$element.id}"
and replace it with this:
href="index.php?id={$data.$element.id}&mode=thread#p{$data.$element.id}"
