My Sites default display as Cards
Hello.
I am working on Liferay 7.2 fp4, trying to configure the My Sites portlet so that the sites show as cards by default. The display styles button allows me to choose from Cards, List, or Table. But when I choose Cards, then leave the page and return to it, My Sites returns to show in List view. In contrast the Documents and Media portlet remembers my preference, and it also allows you to configure the portlet to limit the display styles on offer.
Is there a fix or a workaround solution for this? Or should this be a bug or a feature request?
Thanks,
Rob.

Based on a quick JIRA search, I do not see this reported as a bug. Personally, I think that would be a new feature request, not unlike the existing feature for Sites Directory, which allows the Display Style to be set in the Configuration screen.
See screenshots below.
Sites Directory - Configuration allows selecting Display Style

Navigating away and coming back shows the Icon Display Style (Card)

Thanks, Bijan. I will log a feature request.
