When did we get sidebars on the forum? I was going to say they were kind of annoying, as they squished everything into a single column, but I found the minimize options... so I'm fine with them.

However, one thing I would like to see is the ability for the boards to utilize my full screen width (1440x900), then I could have the sidebars without everything being smushed. I don't know how easy or hard that would be, so I'm not demanding it or anything, just a thought I had.

Just now. Schaef has been messing around.

I'm using a 1280 x 1040 screen and it goes the whole width.

Metalistic is a fixed-width theme, and therein lies your problem.

I thought it was Schaef who added it.

As said, I really like the info they have, I'd just like to see them added on the outside edges of the forum screen, rather than squashing everything into the middle.

*edit* ahh, bummer. I really like this theme though. $:-\$

*EDIT 2* After trying out all the other looks and not liking them, I found a solution, just keep the sidebars minimized unless I need them. Thankfully they stay minimized while i browse around, so they arent an annoyance, but I can pop them out when I need them. Thanks for adding this Schaef.

Hey, what happened to the "recient posts" section of the right sidebar? Thats the one I liked the most.

*EDIT* the whole right sidebar just vanished?

The Schaef · « **Reply #6 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:03:09 PM »

Trying an alternative to sidebars. Go Home.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #7 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:07:08 PM »

That works as well, but I was already getting used to the sidebars, I liked how you could pop them out whenever you wanted.

Whatever you want to keep it as I'm fine with, but I think I prefered the popouts.

Wishywashy.

Well I dont want to sound unnapreciative...

What I really need is practical feedback. If this does/does not work for users, I want to know so I can make adjustments, or just can the whole thing.

The design as it is now does work. However, I did prefer the sidebars. I could minimize them if I wasnt using them, but I could pop them out while browsing the forums at the same time. Functional, easy to use, and speedy.

I like these changes. I also like the Aa New Damage for the skin

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #17 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:29:38 PM »

I like it a lot. =D

What other sidebars are available? It would be interesting to know.

EDIT: They are changing as I refresh. Please keep the User Info one. I really like that one.

EDIT 2: The User Info one seems to disappear when I go into a reply. Bug maybe?

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #18 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:30:29 PM »

Question, would it be difficult or easy to make our sidebars customizable, so we can put whatever we want on ours?

*edit* If not... This is my favorite layout

Recent topics and online users are by far the most helpful.

The Schaef · « **Reply #20 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:31:50 PM »

Lot of votes for online users.

okay, then...

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #21 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:33:26 PM »

YAY! I like it like this. Now i have my info, recient topics, and whos online right there, and I can access everything else with Home.

Good job Schaef.

lightningninja · « **Reply #22 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:34:25 PM »

I agree. Awesome... and now it's gone.

EDIT: It's back.

The Schaef · « **Reply #23 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:36:26 PM »

What I like is keeping the forum info on one side, the double sidebars were just squishing it too much.

Cameron the Conqueror · « **Reply #24 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:37:31 PM »

Awesome, I like it a lot. My personal vote is to can Upcoming Events, or move it to the bottom. However, the minimize feature helps.

What other ones are there? Also, is there a way to make this user specific and settable, or am I asking way too much?
