		drusepth on Aug 31, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google+ Redesigned Does it really default to the single-column layout? I've been using it for months now on 3-column so I guess I must have forgotten switching over. This is what I see on my desktop: http://i.imgur.com/dgBAaTK.jpg I 100% recommend switching over to 3 columns; not nearly the space-waster. The setting's in https://plus.google.com/settings, ctrl+f "Restrict stream to single column layout on all screen sizes" (the design is especially bad on that page).

The layout in the screenshot is for single articles (the link in the OP). It's always a single, tiny column. Click the link and you'll see it.

The setting you mention is only used in streams (e.g. a community, your home stream, etc). Your screenshot shows your stream, not the OP link.
