No attachments shown in "Recent Activity" view of a Topic.

In http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru.../1308755-tango, I complained that a poster had shown no links or references and was told that she had. I found that the issue was the view I was using to view the Topic. Here's a repeat of what I wrote there:
1) If I start from a list of Topics http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru...ussion/general

and click on the TANGO topic from there, I get the "Latest Activity" view with URL:

http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru.../1308755-tango

With this URL, I can see all posts, but can't see attachments in any browser; nor can I see photos, if any, and other poster information. Posts are listed from most recent to earliest, except for original, which is at the topic

2) If I go to the top of the topic in that view and click the POSTS tab, I get the URL

http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru...go?view=thread

Notice the "?view-thread" at the end. In this view, I do see attachments, with poster information and photos and posts are listed oldest to most recent.

Very strange. When Safari 8.0.8 or Firefox 40.0.2 under OS X 10.10.5 opens the URL http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru.../1308755-tango I see attachments in post #3. Not saying it's not the Forum software, but there seems to be an interaction effect with (at least) your setup.

Thanks, William. Your post prompted me to look at my user-settings. I changed the Display mode from Latest Activity to Posts (below), and that has fixed the problem. I don't recall making the original setting, but, if I did, it must have been because the Latest Activity view was more compact.
