Topics side bar

Please get rid of the annoying side bar, or at least make it so you have to turn it on , not off. I turn it off, but when i click on something to read,a thread or artical ,when i return to the page it's back again, and if i'm down near the bottom of the page i can't turn it off withouy going all the way back up. and doing it every time. It realy sucks!!!

Thanks for everything else you do at this site

 

Makes two of us.

 

3 now.. it keeps turning on every so often. I'm going to see if I can add it to my "disallowed frame" list.

###edit### I solved it so you don't have to bother doing anything about it for me.. I can live without it see..



I still think it is a good feature.. possibly not in the right place. There is all that empty space on line 2 of the header next to the "search messages" link.. Any reason for not putting it there instead? There are a lot of duplicated links at the top.

FYI.. the bits I killed are
i.afterdawn.com/v3/topics_tab_eng.gif
and /v3/topics_tab_eng_hilite.gif

 

you can just click on the x and it will go away, but i don't think there is anyway to stop it from loading

Where and how do you do this?

@rdmercer1 You can click on it and it will go away < but it keeps coming back ,all the time you are on the site, thats the problem.

 

Adblock Plus.. firefox plugin

You can play about with java permissions also, but that seems the long way round and you have to keep messing when you hit flash filled sites.

 

@varnull
Ok thanks, I guess that leaves me out, i use ie 7

 

after i clicked the X it has been gone, and it is gone even when i reply to msg recieved from my e-mail

 

It would minimize for me, but every 2 or 3 page changes it was back. I just got fed up with closing it all the time.

It doesn't do this with kazehakase, but does with firefox, mozilla and opera. I don't have Konqueror or galeon.

 

It is very aggrevating. Makes me have to scroll left to right, to read posts. It would be better at the bottom, instead of on the side........

 

Today it comes back again. Hitting the close kills it completely.
Think I need to take a closer look at the frames next time it returns.

 

I'm having the same problem as well. It's been doing this for about a month now.

 

I'm going to have a pick through the page source.. grabbed 2 (with and without blocks) to see if my script blockers are actually hitting the right targets.

An option.. I have now had a go at blocking

i.afterdawn.com/scripts/browse_hubs.js

### edit ###
That seems to have got it. Along with a block on

i.afterdawn.com/v3/topics_tab_eng.gif

It has gone completely. Will test after a certain time to check it holds.
If other people also want to try this route with it what you need is Firefox and adblock-plus (nobody with the first bit of malware and exploit know how should be using IE anyway)

IE users can try using the "disallowed" or "don't allow images from" (very long time since I even saw IE running except on nubs machines) and specify those 2 links exactly.. otherwise you might screw up the rest of the pages .

### edit_end ###

Only experimenting as it may give some pointers to where the problem lies in the code. Will report back on how effective this turns out to be.

############ Off Topic warning ###
One other thing that really really annoyed me when it was pointed out to me.. The word "software" in my sig was being linked by that hotword linker to Microsucks for non logged in users.. I have altered it now to point at FSF.. NOT ON AT ALL.. M$ are NOT the only providers of software!!!

 

hi
hasn't bothered me til i read this thread so tried it

as RDMERCER1 has said i hit the X and it has gone

took myself off line...came back on line...it was still gone

rebooted...still gone

so for me the little x does the trick (at the mo)...will see when i switch on in the the morning if it's still gone

will keep you informed on my progress tomorrow

 

that sidebar has been gone after i hit the x and it has never came back still gone

 

It comes and goes, just like my hemroids, with the same results, A pain in my a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could find another site like this one i would leave> But this site is the best there is, so i hope they fix this soon>

 

Well I resterted my browser a heap of times, rebooted my machine (no need but I wanted to test) and it hasn't come back. It may as well not be there at all now

Creaky.. I have your cure XD

Block loading these..
