This is a problem most commonly encountered after using qsssearch. Google indexes some of the pages with the "threaded" parameter which switches your settings to that mode.

How to fix:

How to Automatically fix:

If you are a firefox user you can download a plugin called greasemonkey ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 ) which will execute scripts on webpages. Once you have that, you can add this script which will automatically reload the page in the normal mode anytime you click a link with threaded mode.

Click on the link below to install the script.

Greasemonkey? Or the script?

Doc would you mind just uploading the js to megaupload or something for people to download?

Here's a link to directly install the script - hope it makes things easier.

It's a 2 step process and it took me less than 30 secs.
Just click the two links in the order posted at the start of this thread.

I'm a dunce on these things but, install Greasemonkey first, then the script.
It went OK for me, and it did the job.
Goodness, I forgot already, I think you have to restart FF after each install.

Thanks Doc

Thanks for the fix.

However, what I don't understand is WHY this board suddenly changed it's default display setting in the first place... I mean, who would prefer to only show one post at a time????? The standard display mode should be made the default.

Anyway, the easiest fix is to just use the options menu - no need to install a plugin for me.

default setting has ALWAYS been the same, its just a minor annoyance when using QSS search like has already been said. theres many more things goin on around here that deserve more attention than something that can easily be remedied by one's self

As night said, and as I said in the first line of my post: "This is a problem most commonly encountered after using qsssearch. Google indexes some of the pages with the "threaded" parameter which switches your settings to that mode."

The reason the script exists is because your display mode can keep changing if you use search.
