Steven P. Administrators Posted August 13, 2009 Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2009 We are currently coding IPB3 on a development server and we've run into a problem with how the forum index displays on screens lower than 1280x1024 with the new sidebar. For reference here are the most popular screen resolutions that are used on Neowin: We are considering removing the sidebar and just adding back the Latest Forum Activity across the whole forums again, rather than just showing it on the forum index sidebar, like IPB3 does.

Steeley Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I hate it! Love to see it gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowl Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 YES! I love it. If you want that, look for the Latest Discussions hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted August 13, 2009 Author Administrators Share Posted August 13, 2009 I hate it! Love to see it gone. But you can minimize it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeley Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 But you can minimize it? Yeah, I'm satisfied doing that. It's just pointless to me - I browse the forums using the "new" and "active" buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argi Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Sidebar? Do you mean the AJAX box at the top of each page? If so, I use that all the time. Edited August 13, 2009 by chAos972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I browse almost exclusively via the Latest Forum activity. Please don't remove it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeemed Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sidebar? Am I missing something? :ermm: Or is that upcoming in IPB3? Anyway, I do like the "Latest Forum Activity" box. That's practically how I navigate Neowin :pinch: I'd hate to see it disappear :( Edit: Beat me to it omnicoder :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be alot faster. Like this post Im posting now, as soon as I hit "Add reply" when the page refreshes, it should show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Takahashi Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I find it a lot easier to keep track of new threads using Latest Activity, mostly because it is live, especially if there's a hot thread going. I would like to see it remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Charming Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Got to toss in that even on a widescreen display, I cannot abide 'sidebars' on forums. I haven't seen one example where it actually works, and I just find it clunky and irritating. I'd also echo omnicoder - I browser pretty much exclusively by the LFA box.

SkyDX Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 As some other users have said, I too browse most of the time with the "Latest Forum Activity" box, so I'm against removing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
