Make the "Preview" the default view when posting.

[Former Member]

I've seen this on several forums, however I'm unable to figure out how to do it?

On my forum, whenever you're going to post, it's always in "BBCode". However on every other forum, including this one it's already on "Preview" mode. So just wondering how I set that up?

Thanks in advance

hello @syrk, you can change this setting in your profile. go profile > edit profile > settings and scroll down until you see 'posting default'. then just set it to 'preview'.

I'm wondering this too! Is there a way to set it up for everyone on your forum, not just your own personal profile?

Thank you ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇ ᴄᴜᴘɪᴅ !! But like CollieflowersBark says, I'm looking to change this for everyone. I've seen it implemented on other forums.

i'm fairly sure preview is the default setting for all new forum members, but otherwise no i don't believe so.

For anything profile related, only the owner of the profile can change things in their profile, except for certain things in the Staff area. Also some users may want the BBCode view on your forum.

Hi @syrk,

To the best of my knowledge the Posting Default setting for all new accounts is Preview. Members can change their settings but a forum admin can not preset that default.

It's not possible to change the default settings that are assigned to a user upon registration. Sorry.
