My topic view looks funny

[TheTempestSonata]

So I now see my topics in a tree form... How can I get it back to the original chronological order, where i can see every post, rather than a tree?

I tried fooling with options, and couldn't find it.

Thanks :)

Usually an option next to the top of the thread/forum that says where you are at. Well next to there is an option to change the view to normal.

Now that the Outline View is only available from the Options dropdown menu (with the Shift skin that is), I hope that people will no longer accidentally end up on Outline View.

Since the links across the top are now gone, you'll need to use the Options menu to choose Standard or Linear+.

this is like the 3rd time i nearly post in this forum about this, this post always saves me from the dreaded cascaded

[SMELTN]

Same. I always think something on the site is broken.

Linear layout is what prevented me ever joining forums years ago, thank heavens for user friendly modern forum software :D

[Osiris]

Thank god this was a sticky, mine switched to this and was driving me crazy.

[panicswitched]

thanks!

though i never changed this setting it just started doing this at home but acting normally at work!

[KyleGM]

Yeah mine's randomly changed aswell >.< Couldn't figure out how to change it!

I do not have "Switch To..." or "Track This Topic..."

EDIT: Found it! I would like it though if the forum didn't switch my view settings without my permission though.

Where did you find it? I don't have one either.

This view is so annoying. Why can't it be like a normal forum?

It's sometimes the fault of search links to topics on this site returned by Google.

You either clicked on the outline option, or on a link that changed it for you.

Actually, it was on the Finity skin and that skin doesn't have an options menu.

That screenshot is from the Finity skin, and as you can see, does have the options menu. Swift and Shift also use the same menu.

Finity does not however display the thread views in the top left corner as the others do.

If for some reason your topic view has become threaded or odd looking...

simply click the Standard view option as indicated below:

Big thanks that worked! :)

[Xilo]

Some reason topics now show up as outline.

I have no links to change from standard or outline so I have no clue how this changed. Now I can't change back. :(

Press the options button at the top right, and click standard. :)

[Xilo]

wow i didn't even see that button...

thanks lol

I feel I should mention, every time you click an external link to Neowin, it changes you to Outline view.

This is a very very very very odd little bug.
