How do I get the sidebars back!?!?!?!? THIS STINKS!

[fisherspats]

I THINK I LIKE IT...NO I DON'T..

[Hibernius Druid]

New sidebar routine is not an improvement. And left column on news/analyis page takes up way too much space, forcing viewer into unnecessary scrolling.

[Paul_B]

The Topics are gettable, but the process is _way_ too cumbersome. Listing them all on one page, with checkboxes, would be much better.

I find the new heading font is hard to read. I say Take away the bold and make it larger, like before.

But the overall graphic design is nice.

[Grut]

It's always a mistake to let the art department design your website; you end up with lots of graphics and not much functionality. There are a few features of the new FR I like, like the local times, but basically I'm afraid you've put in a lot of effort to make the system worse.

We really need the old FR back.

It's embarassing to think this many dum basses participate on the forum.

I hope you weren't refering to me.

I, and many others, have had no problem deciphering the nuances of the new forum format.

It's not that we can't figure it out; we just don't like this new pastel monstrosity.

I think you need to post a banner on this, it seems that everyone is confused about the sidebar. BIG BOLD RED LETTERS might do. :o)

So long...

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Just some advice, although Im sure your getting "tons" of it right now.

Maybe post those instructions on the front page? I didnt see them and of course when I post a message looking for some help I get slammed by idiots like Doughtyone.

Just my opinion

[Dallas]

For now, I guess 5 is the limit. If there is an option to increase that feature, I haven't found it.

[DoughtyOne]

I fully support your ability to complain about the new format. Does it take a new thread for each of you to do it? Honesly folks, show some respect to your host. Find one of the other thirty threads and add your comments.

[balrog666]

And how do you get rid of those incredibly annoying announcements?

[metesky]

No mission statement, no declaration of values, no participents.

A pale imitation of life.

You were saying?

[11th Earl of Mar]

Thanks for the help on the side-bars... can't live without them.

And can I get more than 5 stories in the Breaking News and Front Page News sections?

Also, how do I get rid of the "Michigan news and comments" at the top of my pages?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Honesly folks, show some respect to your host. Find one of the other thirty threads and add your comments.

Gimmie a break, how much help am I going to get when I add my message to a thread that is over 700+ replies long?

Careful, or you will be accused of being an antifishite.

[davetex]

Have you tried reading the instructions?

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

"Michigan news and comments"

Consider yoursefl lucky...I have Louisiana comments on mine. Very annnoying

[budman_2001]

And how do you get rid of those incredibly annoying announcements?

I found that!

A long time ago, I setup my preferences to include "My Location" (I think that's what it was...). So I clicked on my flag in the new format, and changed my location to 'Nothing'.

The announcements section (which took up 25% of the screen) is now gone. I didn't use it any way.

I really want more than 5 side bar titles, and I do NOT want them changing around based on poster replies! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[hole_n_one]

I simply created links on my browser's toolbar to all the forums I wish to view, and the only forums I "subscribe" to and have shown on the FR sidebar are News/Current Events and Breaking News.........

It works rather well............
