You can now hide the left column; look in your User CP -> Edit Options -> Thread Display Options

Thanks Harley. Much better now that we can disable the side bar.

Also, just a suggestion - using a smaller font in the side bar might make it a bit more useable.

Also, putting the extra thread title at the top of the screen on one line rather than taking up 2 spaces would be nicer.

Category > Thread title

rather than

THREAD TITLE

THANK YOU.

That column was the single most annoying thing to change with ASC.

Agreed. There have been a lot of changes, some better than others, but that one... well, no disrespect intended, but it was a BAD idea.

Cool, thanks Harley.

It's a little more complex than that... we're using H1 and H2 tags for the title so that google and other search engines index us more completely, which are block elements, not inline elements. I think I just figured out the CSS to make it right, though.

Nice. Looks better on 1 line now. Still looks redundant from the client perspective though, since that same info it already available at 2 other different places on the page.

But Google should be able to have the same level of indexing by using meta tags rather than making it displayable elements on the page. Should it not?

Yes, Google picks up meta tags, but having them reinforced in H1 and H2 tags will increase exposure of the page topics.

Huh, the new threads list on the front page seem to be listing all new threads, even the ones in the private forums.

Are they sections you have access to?

Nope. Looks like I'm seeing infraction forum and CAPS, at the very least.

Changed one option I shouldn't have last night. Should be displaying properly now.

Yeah, I guess so. If it gives higher visibility on google, then it's probably a good idea.

Perhaps a good idea would be to hide them in the footer of the page somewhere and have them the same as the background color. Then they wouldn't clutter the top of the page and chew up that extra real estate for no practical purpose to the end user.
