I i am having a really bad problem with the view of the forum, i have selected flat view as default, but user(including me) still have to click flat view button on top of every forum to see it in flat view or else it shows up in threaded view which is annoying for user, i was hoping someone can help me completely remove threaded view so it would make flat view default and users won't have to click the button everytime they go into the forum, thnx! (oh and if u didnt get it yet, im taking about my site forum not this forum)

Are you using CB by chance?

If so, it might be a similar issue & answer here: www.bestofjoomla.com/component/option,co...d,73/id,53728/#53728

Since those two fields are right next to each other, it might be related.
