So this has bugged me ever since I signed up...

I post a lot of links to the great tech here on FB, trying to combat the snapchat/instagram mentality. If you're not signed in, you get some weird view. I remember when I first got here trying to make sense of it, until I figured out the 'display modes' dropdown.

Why isn't the default 'linear', like every other Vbulletin forum in the world?

Really no skin off my nose, but I'd like to make this place as easy as possible for the "Oh, look, a squirrel!" crowd...
