Feature Request - Default Thread View Per Forum

Currently I have hard coded the admin/applications/forums/modules_public/forums/topics.php file around line #378, such that if the forum ID is one of x, y or z, I set the view to Linear+, using

$this->topic_view_mode = 'linearplus'

I'd like to be able to do this from the ACP so my hard coded changes can be scrapped. Ideally, on the Forums section, if I edit the settings for an individual forum, I should have a drop down to let me select "default", or to override the user's choice with one of the available thread views.

For some of the sub forums, the linear+ view is absolutely necessary (so people read the "first post"), whereas the rest of the forum, is fine to continue using the default view.
