I don't see much of a solution though. There is nowhere else to put ads


I agree, without taking up more space for ads on the left side which shouldn't be explored.

isn't it more centered now? inside a thread, the main content you read is now in the middle.

I realize it takes some getting used to, but I have been using this for three weeks now and now I can't stand the old way.



I'll ask again - why does it have to be on the right? What it the problem with having the border/ad on the left?

Not a fan, sorry Chicken. If you go with it we'll live with it so it's on you. Nice site.

Hey I haven't gone back to look but any reply regarding the custom menu staying fixed/scrolling with the page? Would make it easier instead of scrolling all the way back to the top on desktop version..mobile is fine because the boards are right under all the subjects after you scroll down.

Fair enough. I disagree, but I just wanted to know if it had to be on one side or the other for some reason.

I'm a Surface Tablet user. When not using the keyboard, I hold the tablet and scroll with my right thumb. This causes me to hit the ad links and open them accidentally. That may be your intent, but it is aggravating when I don't intend it to happen.

Conversely, when I'm using the keyboard, I use my left thumb. Same thing happens with ads on the left in the normal site! Damned if I do, Damned if I don't!

Cluckster is right on this one. The ads are less obnoxious on the right side of the page. We read left to right, so they are almost invisible.

It does center the post content as well.


Chicken- I really like the button that cycles through the forums on the top right. Any way to make it go backwards and forwards?

I agree. When you are reading a post you glance quickly to the left to see who is posting the comment then back to the center where the post is. When ads were on the left I often times would look to see what was up there. Not a big deal really but with them on the right they tend to be a little more invisible to the eye.

Overall I like the update and hope its here to stay.

I like the changes. This is a lot like Facebook changing. People freak out and then cant remember what it looked like before. Dont let discontent keep the site from progressing.

So what does a thread have to do to be considered trending?

I messed around a bit, and like it. It's a bit like reddit though, and many here don't like reddit's layout, so not surprised some are not feelin' it.
