Now that you’ve switched your page over to the new Timeline style you can no longer set the “Default Landing Tab”.  In case you didn’t know, you could determine which tab or app anyone who had not yet liked your Page saw first.  That popular feature was discontinued by Facebook but that doesn’t mean the “Welcome Tab”…
