There is no setting that toggles the view on or off.
In the past I had some custom code that I created that defaulted this view to "off" for everyone, but in various updates over the past couple of years this code was eliminated. I can try to re-create it and add it back into the forum software, but it would not be a priority for me at this time. Let me see what I can do over the next couple of weeks.
I think I got this taken care of. Please confirm that the fix is working? Or is not working?
