Sidebar removal

[The Damned]

You know the drill... some of us don't like the sidebar, because it takes up too much room, it causes breaks in the pages, it looks terrible... what have you.

Anyone got a fix to get rid of it yet?

Its not really a fix, but you could simply switch the style to "default" in the lower left corner of the screen.

But, even doing that has its disadvantages. You'll see what I mean.

I already checked that out; hence, why I'm asking.

Using Firefox? Add the following to userContent.css
(http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#css)
@-moz-document url-prefix(http://www.ocremix.org/forums/)
{
.left-column {
display:none !important;
}

div.middle-column {
margin: 10px 0px 0px 145px !important;
}

div.middle-column-extended {
margin: 10px 10px 0px 10px !important;
}

div.breadcrumb {
left: 10px !important;
}
input {
background: white !important;
color: #4D4E6C !important;
border: solid 1px #4D4E6C !important;
}

textarea, select {
background: white !important;
color: #4D4E6C !important;
border: solid 1px #4D4E6C !important;
}
}Voila, no more sidebar on your forums. :D

Actually, it's the "userContent", not the "userChrome" file. No wonder I couldn't get the change to apply. Here I was trying to put it into the wrong file the last ten minutes.

Thanks, DarkeSword. Now I have all my page space back.

You're welcome. I don't like the sidebar in the forums either, and Dave knows that. But as long as we're not needlessly bitching to him about it, he doesn't mind people using fixes like this at all. Feel free to share this info.

Also, to give credit where credit is due, the original fix was written by GreyNinja.

Maybe this should get stickied, just in case. Other people will come in asking for it. If it's stickied, they can just click on it, follow the simple instructions, and no more bitching.

Or maybe an option to have it on or not, in the user's control panel? Like how we can can change styles.
