7ore Member Oct 9, 2017 #1 We have a forum with a lot of activity and many users want to have Recent post as the default forum view instead of the category view. What is the best way to solve that? Naturally we want the category view be a sub menu instead.

Mike XenForo developer Staff member Oct 9, 2017 #2 In XF1, you can do a little bit with the "Index Page Route" option, but it's definitely not going to do exactly what you want. XF2 fully supports this approach though (it's an option). Upvote 0 Downvote

7ore Member Oct 9, 2017 #4 Thanks. I have that installed. But I cant get it to show the info I want. Do I have to add/enable a widget on the page as well? Upvote 0 Downvote

Triops Well-known member Oct 9, 2017 #5 I have it installed. You just have to set some addon options to show up on firums index and with how many threads visible. Upvote 0 Downvote

7ore Member Oct 9, 2017 #6 I needed to log out and then in again to get it to show. Now I get latest posts before the categories and that is probably good enough, but I will try and get it on a separate tab and show that as default. But I gotten closer to my end goal by this. Thanks. Upvote 0 Downvote

Triops Well-known member Oct 9, 2017 #7 There is an user right, I forgot. "View recent posts", you need to set for all user groups you wish to see them. Upvote 0 Downvote
