sorry, I tried on my local host, but it did not work. All posts opens even now by default on page load. Am I missing something?

Hello Pawan,

Is it possible attach this file to us -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\themes\simplistic\frontpage.index.filters.php , so we can help you check on this.
Also, can we know what theme you are using in your local?

here is the file.

Hello Pawan,

Hmm, that was strange, because i have copy your attached file paste in my local site, it work fine for me. (Because you did exactly correct that modified the code)
When i load the Easydiscuss frontpage, it will by default to load UNANSWERED tab.
see my video : http://screencast.com/t/HyhzQxeZRBW

I use Flatt theme, but that should not make any difference I believe.

Hello Pawan,

Sorry for late reply to this,
You can remove above hack, because I'm miss out the Easydiscuss menu type item "Front Page Layout" have a setting for this, check my screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/UxAft3lT
Hope this help.

That's wonderful. Thanks.

one more question from here:

How can I change the 'filter' on page load for a particular 'user group'?

Hello Pawan,

You're welcome
Unfortunately that was no this option to controlling this.
