The-King Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 This has been discussed before, and was shot down just as fast. I think Svip brought it up but I can't remember exactly. But in the end it turned out it would be too hard or something like that.~TGK |PropagandaIncorporated:|: Steam:|: DeviantArt:|: Last.FM| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmSixTeen Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 If you really don't want it, you can use this skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmSixTeen Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 S'alright.. It's the only current option, anyway. Personally though, I couldn't live without the sidebar anymore, it just makes browsing multiple forums so much easier for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado Rex Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I couldn't live without the sidebar anymore Agreed. Whenever I go to other forums I always get irritated by having to go to the board index every time I want to change forums.

Vin. Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Don't know why you wouldn't want the side bar, but if you don't want it, you could write a hack or something for it, if you know how to code and stuff of course. Otherwise just use Em's idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Slow Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'd kill for the hack for this sidebar. How could you possibly not want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMillard Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 If your browser allows user-defined CSS rules, you could use the <body id="gtaforums_com"> hook in the Conventional series of skins to hide the #navigation box and increase the width of the #content box. The Conventional skins are a lot more fluid than the other skins, so you might find switching to that makes the boards a lot easier to use on your PC while the sidebar is still present. Also, the sidebar in Conventional uses a percentage width instead of a pixel width, meaning that it gets narrower on small screens and wider on big screens anyway.

Agreed x 372338 I'd never even come here if it weren't for the side-bar... and that's no exaggeration. Why, exactly do you want it gone, anyway?

He wants it collapsed because he is using a tiny screen, perhaps? If the screen is really tiny, the sidebar in Conventional should drop down below the main content so you can read the topic without obstruction.

Still, the sidebar is hella useful. Up your resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svip Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 People. This would be quite easy in fact. We can just use cookies. On default, no cookie is set. But when you collapse the menu, a cookie is set called something like "collasped_menu" at "gtaforums.com" ( of course ), then when Expand Menu is click, the cookie is set to nothing ( "" ), while it was at "yes" or "true" or something before. Anyways. When the PHP checks for the cookie and notices that it's set, then it will write the javascript to set the menu collapsed ( at the begining ), otherwiser ( default ), it wont. Anyways, it will take some bit of coding, including the fact that I don't know where the actual javascript in question is stored. Though the cookie functions are avaible through the board software.
