That just makes the situation 10 times worse. 
A collapsable press release bar would probably be best... just as forum categories are collapsable, why not the press release bar?
I never thought I'd see the day when Shrapnel Games was what caused me to bring Proxomitron out of retirement... |

Re: Forum Changes
Personally, I think the side bar sucks big time. I want all the horizonal space I can get. I subscribe to the Shrapnel press release newletter so I don't need and do not want the side bar. Why not make it an option one can set up under their forum profile or something?

Re: Forum Changes
Right side or bottom makes no sense. No one would ever see it. Same with options to see or not see it. Those all would work as well as "let us post what we want without topic forums because we jump straight to SEIV and never see the other stuff"

Re: Forum Changes
Methinks the Shrapnel crew lives in some sort of temporal anomaly... "Space Empires IV Gold Off Backorder!" is what one of the side ads say.
And I don't really like the new banners, I preferred David's desert with the transparent hand grenade.

That just means SEIV was on backorder a while ago, and thus was not available. Now that it is no longer on backorder, SEIV is available for purchase once more. |

Re: Forum Changes
Richard's signature is still in a temporal anomaly, however. Starfury is apparently still coming soon! 
Ack! Where did the infinitely useful "Mark All Read" link in the control panel thingie at the top of the main forum view go? If the forum announcements were moved to a cell above the "Welcome" and CP cells, it wouldn't have to squish the CP links to a small area and force some of them to that 3rd line that was there before... |

Re: Forum Changes
I've been fiddling with the Proxomitron some more and managed to make it remove the sidebar on every page, except the thread lists and the main category lists. This is what everyone has been suggesting be done with it.
URL Match:
Code:
www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/(^ubbthreads.php|postlist.php)
Byte Limit >= 7000 at least
Matching Expresion:
Code:
<table \w \w \w \w id="pr">*<tr></tr></table>?\n</td>

Re: Forum Changes
What a surprise. Annoying surprise I shall say. Because text in the tread is aligned to the center for me. I bet it's some sort of incompatibility with Opera browser, but it helps a little.
Could owners look at it and possibly fix it?
