    Make Forums Default Open Tab Instead Of Discover

    Some of my users say when they use my app and initially open it, the discover tab shows and there are threads that have 1 or 2 replys in there and makes it seem as though the forum is dead.

    Some say they didn't even notice the forums tab on the top and thought my forum was just what it showed on the discover tab.

    So is there a way to make the forums tab the default viewing tab when users go there?

    my target audience is 18-24 and on FB thier attention span isnt long.. lol.. So I need the forum to be right there for them.

    When you say there are threads with only 1 or 2 replies, are there other threads on the forum which have recent replies, which have more discussion?

      I don't believe so.

      They all seem to be updating as the latest post.

      But many times the latest threads are new users saying hello, which many posters don't reply to so they typically only get one or two welcomes.

      A lot of my forums posts are on threads that were created and people respond to those threads... so "newest threads" typically isnt where the latest posts are because many of the threads are months old.

      Is there any way to configure the app to do as my initial post asked?

        Good idea to make it possible to choose which page is the "start page".

            I'm unaware of a way to do this at this time.

                Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing? I don't see any threads older than a week.
