Some of you may have noticed that the sidebar containing a bunch of various modules and statistics has gone away on every page but the homepage. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your browser, I've just been making some changes.
Over the holidays I saw scififur on a lower end computer with a lower resolution display and was bothered by the fact that the sidebar ate so much of the screen real-estate that it made posts very hard to read.
I also noticed some flowing issues that bothered me. So I sat and asked myself whether it was a good idea to keep it, and I couldn't really think of anything in that sidebar that was absolutely brucial to the functionaity of the forums that it needed to stay.
So I've gone ahead and removed it. I'm also noticing that by doing that the forums seem to be a tad more responsive as well, so that's a nice added benefit.
Well anyway, just thought I'd keep you guys in the loop.
Oh, and you also might've noticed that the Home/Forum toggle buttons was removed in favor of two discreet buttons. That toggle seemed to be causing more confusion than anything else.
