I think the new sidebar on threads needs a bit more work...

Picture below says it all...

Yes, I've tried refreshing before anyone asks...

These pesky sidebars appeared here a few hours ago with the black style. They totally mess up the layout in threads in my opinion. I would like if they are opt-in instead of opt-out.

there's a difference between "I dont like it and I want it disabled"
and "I dont like it and I think it should be disabled for everyone"

the first one is legitimate and we do offer the option (check your user preferences to find the 'disable sidebar' option)
the second one is a bit laughable to be honest

It isn't laughable at all. I'm sure many people will be irritated by this change. The sidebars take way too much space away from threads. It just doesn't feel right and was introduced without warning. It would make much more sense to annaunce the change and giving users the option to enable it instead of forcing it on them by default.

Just my 2 cents.

The fact remains that you can FREELY disable it. By the looks of it, I don't see anyone complaining. And there is a thread about this change that gives specific steps on how to disable it. So I can't see this irritating people. If you don't like it, fine. But if you want to go on a rant, create a new thread. This thread isn't the place to be complaining. I on the other hand find this change very handy.

Is there anyway to disable the sidebar while browsing in the PC, Console & Handheld Discussions? I liked the previous setup where it only appeared at https://gbatemp.net/forums/. After a few days using it, I find it too cluttering.

You can disable it in preferences.

when the side bar is hidden (with the >| icon), you can't click the "like, quote" text on a post if they are at the same height than the video.
I'm using Firefox

You can disable it in preferences.

I have that selected but that's only disabled in thread view.

Also having this issue

I for one think the sidebar in thread view is great. The full width layout of the forum earlier was awkward. This will make it easier on the eyes to read posts and easier to find content, and it just looks better.
