New Forum Options - A question on setting up options

Is there a way to allow us the option to choose what the default load page is?

I know that you can do it inside vBulletin, but it may not be a default ability. Is it currently enabled and I missed the option, or can someone activate it?


The reason I am asking is that I would like to have the English sub-folder be what automatically opens when I log into the forum.

Thank you for your help.

Other than editing a shortcut with that page as your clicky or bookmark, or setting a default tab to open with the browser, those are the only ways I know of currently.

Just change your bookmark:

I just clicked on the left minus sign on the French and German sections and they stay that way. The only section that is expanded is the English one. Do you have cookies enabled for this site? Do you log on everytime or do you have the Remember Me box checked?

This doesn't completely solve the OP's problem... the forums are not actually expanded like they are when you click the "English" link, which is more like the old forums' function.

Duh! I didn't understand what he was asking. Now that I see it, bookmarking the English section does look like the only way to get what he wants. Having the ability to set it in the User CP would be a good thing.

Yea, that's about all I could figure out. The bookmark I mean.

Thanks anyways.

I've found my solution:
- Subscribe to the forums that I actually use (no email notification)
- View forums through my User CP home, rather than forum home

The net effect is similar to the "View Only Favorite Forums" mode from UBB. And I've got a big button to go back to my personal index, rather than having to click the small "English" link at the top of the page.
