i have set the default comment view to flat in the general settings so the forums appear flat to anonymous users, however i cant get the forums to display as flat for the regular users and webadmins, anyone know how i can change it?
thanks

It will go with the settings that were set when they signed up. All future users will see flat. I don't know how to set the past users as flat but they can set it themselves I believe.

Please correct me if im wrong.

Here is another setting that affects that also.

System Admin >> Preferences Main >> General Settings


Then look down at the bottom for the combo boxes marked...

Default Comment Display Mode

Nested
Flat
Threaded

and...

Default Comments Display Order

Oldest First
Newest First

Tried changing the "Default Comment Display Mode" but it only changes the comments, not the forums.

Or at least it doesn't work for me. Selecting anying there doesn't affect the way posts and replies are displayed in the forums.

In my old XOOPS site, for some reason the forums were flat (how I want it). Now though, a good year later when I put XOOPS back on I can't find out how to make the forums stay flat, they seem to revert to threaded each time I log in as if it doesn't remember my settings.
