Propose to allow to set a preference for a forum's front page on per-user level

User-selectable Home screen

We have our Home screen set to Categories, so that newbies and occasional visitors are aware of the structure and content on offer (it’s important for drawing in new members to our organisation). However, “core” users are already used to how things are laid out and would rather see the Latest stream. The interface would be a simple dropdown in User Preferences, containing the items from the Top Menu (as set in admin). This could further be controlled by an “Allow users to set home screen” tick…

User-selectable default home view preference

It would be a nice option to have a modifiable home view (say, in Preferences). Thus, a user could select “Latest” as the default home view and another user could have “Categories”.

I’m still very much interested in this. I have it set to Categories to benefit new users, but I wish I could have it set to Latest for myself.
