Default Help needed in resetting "home" page

Previously, I had my TOTV set up so that on logging in it opened up in "New Posts", which is what I usually read first.

Then I changed it to open in "Home".

I want to change it back but cannot remember how to do so. I have looked in Usercp, and tried to find an informative "Sticky" but with no success.

Can anyone help me, please?

Thank you

Am really not sure what you are seeking to do - but if it is to reset your home page to TOTV New Posts - go to TOTV New Posts and then click on TOOLS up on the bar to the left of your page - then click on INTERNET OPTIONS - and then click on the USE CURRENT button - you should see the website address copied in the box. Hope that's what you want.

Thank you, njbchbum

I don't want TOTV as my overall internet home page, but I would like New Posts to be the default page that opens when I log in to TOTV

I'm sure I had it set up as such before, but I just can't find how to do it again

Thank you for your help, though

OK, I think I may have a solution. Delete your current link to TOTV. Then manually from your internet connection, go to TOTV, and go to new posts, THEN save this as your link to TOTV. Now what should happen is you will go directly to the new posts section, and you will then login and be right there for the new posts.
Hope this helps.

You might consider clicking on "Contact Us" at the very bottom of the page and ask the Administrator how to do it.

What type of computer are you using, what software (apple, windows), and what browser? I will see if I have any other ideas.
