[support] Views on Homepage

[Ian Elwood]

I set the view to 'View Type: Teaser list' in the 'page' section of 
'edit view'.  It doesn't seem to be registering the settings on the page 
at /admin/content/node-settings for some reason.  I can switch those to 
200 or the max, and it displays the same.
