threaded view mode for vbulletin guests - display modes
Check your forum as a guest, does it suck?
You might be giving your viewers threaded mode as their default display mode.

The three available vbulletin display modes are
linear mode
hybrid mode
threaded mode

Here's the threaded display mode mode, which sucks.

Attachment 122228

As you can see there's about four responses in this forum thread, but only one can be viewed under threaded mode. A member would have to click the links above in order to see that conversation.

When you go to a shitty forum and can't see the original post, and see broken links all over the place, threaded view mode is to blame.

What you want your guests and all users to see is linear mode, which shows posts from newest to oldest, listing newest posts first.

Next up, how to fix it ? :erm:
