I am unabled to set the "Default postlist format."
Logged in as the "Admin" I:
. Go to "Edit Themes" select "Default post listing - flat or threaded" and choose "Threaded Mode
. Then I go to "Default postlist format. Collapsed (only show main topic with total number of replies. Expanded (Show topics with a threaded list of all replies):" and select "Expanded Mode."
. Then I click on the "Update theme.inc.php" button.
When a newly created visitor goes to the discussion forum topic they can only see the original posting and none of the threads.
They can not click on the "+Expanded" button. It apparently thinks its in expanded view.
They can however, click on the "-Collapsed" button, which doesn't appear to change anything.
Now the visitor can click on the "+Expaned" button and see all the threads.
I have comfirmed this by creating several new users.
When I revisit the "Edit Themes" option as the "Admin" the "Default listpost format" option remains "Collapsed". I have tried to change it to "Expaned" but it won't keep the setting.
Thanks for your time.
