to

{DEF: _rsid} should work, it is used in many places in the forum. Look @ usercp template you can see examples of it used in other places.

changing WWW_ROOT will break your forum.

http://www.oneweekofdays.com/board/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=2&{DEF : _rsid}


have tried this technique and it works -- however it overrides the thread TREE view that i have set up in the glob prefs

you can see the problem on the site
go to http://www.oneweekofdays.com/forum and click the one week of days-forum link -- you are in tree view ( correct )
then hit home ( bringing you to the same page by a different way ?)--- the view changes to flat !!

can this be adjusted so that the home button takes the preferences into account
