BigRedX Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Is there any way of removing the right-hand column on the main forum view? It's full of stuff I have absolutely no interest in and because it's making the main part of the forum narrower it is pushing it further down the page, so there's more scrolling especially on a smaller lap top screen. On the old version of the site theses sections could be removed by clicking the cross in the header. This isn't available currently. Thanks.

Rikki_Sixx Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If you make your browser window a little narrower (less than 980 pixels wide) it drops the sidebar down to the bottom of the page, making the main content area full-width. Perhaps not quite what you were after, but I think that's as close as you'll get with the new theme! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightsun Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If you find the sidebar as issue, and you use chrome, then you can add the plugin 'CSS and Javascript Injection' When on the site activate the plugin and add: #ipsLayout_sidebar.ipsLayout_sidebarright, html[dir="rtl"] #ipsLayout_sidebar.ipsLayout_sidebarleft { padding-left: 20px; display: none; } to the CSS tab (in image below. Now everytime you visiti the site the main body will be full width and the sidebar will not be displayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 @BigRedX I will probably look at creating a lightweight theme in the coming weeks. There seems to be some demand for it, part of the problem is some people want everything on the screen, others want a minimal amount and it's not easy to cater for both 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Another idea would be to set up a custom search of the kind of content that does interest you, then save it as a custom stream and make it your homepage. There are no sidebars on those pages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The sidebar was close-able on the old site and stored in cookie settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I just bookmark this as my main landing page: http://www.basschat.co.uk/discover/unread/ ..but then I've never browsed by forum on BC. Always 'by latest content' for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 I've always browsed by forum. It's the way I like to work. I'll just have to put up with the extra scrolling for now. The sidebar disappears when you enter the actual sub-forums anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
