We're looking to confirm this.

ttfitz Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 So I managed to get rid of the annoying right side bar on my own, which only leaves one annoyance on my list. Would it be possible to go back to having email notifications show the entire text of the forum post/PM rather than just the first line or so? It's particularly annoying in the threads I follow with a daily digest. Thanks. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's particularly annoying in the threads I follow with a daily digest. Thanks. For me, my daily digest email ( titled "Your CGC Comic Book Collectors Chat Boards digest") has the full post for each entry in the threads I follow. But my email notifications for individual events (person quoted me / responded to my post) and personal messages are cut to only the first line of text. I also would prefer those to revert to full text if possible. I also have a question about a change to journal entries outstanding which is important to me. I think we're long overdue an update on these things. Here's my issue summary from another thread: ttfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's particularly annoying in the threads I follow with a daily digest. Thanks. Back in 2007 or so, the boards "made the big switch". with a new format. It had a sidebar, too. Finally, a way was discovered to turn it off. Most quickly did so. How did you turn this one off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use uBlock Origin for adblocking, and one of the features is you can block parts of a webpage from displaying. With uBlock installed, if you right-click on some part of a webpage, the context menu has an entry, "Block element". I did that first with the sidebar, and it went away - but the big blank space was left. I then had to do the same, selecting the space and blocking it, which finally spread out the thread. I initially tried using a different extension, Stylus, which lets you create styles for given webpages, but not being that familiar with CSS, I never could figure out what the important elements were named to remove. jpepx78 and comicdonna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicdonna Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I copied this post and sent it to an admin. It's possible your link helped the sidebar to go away.

Oh, sure, after I figure out a way on my own to get rid of it! Oh well, at least my method also removed the sidebar on the topics page, too, so the threads cover the entire width of the display. Occasionally there'd be something to catch my eye there, but most of the time I'd rather have the extra space. comicdonna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the time you've taken to help others deal with these unexpected changes. It's dialed in well enough that I'd forgotten the upgrade happened... and that is the sign of a successful upgrade. Coincidentally, I got my first smartphone ever for Christmas this year and the boards seem to work fine for me. I'm not having the issues Cat is referring to. Sometimes cheap is better.
