But I am leaving. Lacking a super-wide monitor, the new page format ruins the experience.

Well? What's the story behind all this?

 

[lschiavo]

You're a fixture. It won't be the same...

 

[Reelale]

Don't go. Browse a couple days on a phone. Afterwards, it'll be pure IMAX.

 

[lustreking]

The widest my monitor goes is 1024. I don't see what the problem is.

 

[forstmeister]

Can't leave after 25,000 posts due to disliking the layout! As a previous poster said, try the mobile app.

What a first world problem. I remember when getting any kind of information from the internet was a pain.

I really hate the right side margin ads. So distracting.

 

[neosapien]

I still miss the good ol' days of DOS and dialing into a BBS for info...

A buddy of mine is just getting into brewing and is constantly bombarding me with questions, which I don't entirely mind. But I keep telling him to just come here because this is where i've learned almost everything I know about brewing. Yesterday he admitted that he has tried to a couple of times, but finds the layout too much of a bother and information very hard to find. I don't see much problem with the layout (although the change took me a bit of time to get used to), but I paid and don't see the ads and AdBlock is the first thing that gets installed on every computer of mine after Firefox.

But you can turn them off!

David, I don't have a wide screen monitor, and I'm "old school" for sure. But in your CP you can turn off the right side margin ads, and reset your zoom on your browser.

You can't leave- I need you! You're one of the few "oldtimers" still around and we're being outnumbered by the youngsters!

 

[Quadrupled]

WooHoo, no more sidebar adds!

 

[Zuljin]

The hell are yall talkin about? Looks the same to me.

 

[wolfstar]

I really only get pissed off at the sidebar ads when it is Orion telescopes...don't know if you guys see the Orion ads, maybe they are taylored to me since I am heavy into astronomy. but they are misleading and full of bullsh*t


Lots of people get turned away from good astronomy when they are misled into buying a cheap POS telescope.


Just my $.02

 

[lschiavo]

I hope you guys turn off the adds and everything is better tomorrow.

 

[maxamuus]

I never knew you could turn that crap off. MUCH MUCH better!

 

[Homercidal]

I don't get ads, but for me there are a listing of new posts. I'm still trying to get use to it. Nice to have the option to turn that off. Maybe a mass PM explaining the change and how to turn it off would have been nice.

Cranky old guy indeed!

There is a thread that walks you through getting rid of the ads. I freaked when I first had the ads, but now life is a bowl of cherries again.

 

[kh54s10]

I don't know what all this is about. The sidebar issue came up months ago and the complaints followed the same day -- so did the solution to turn it off.

I have seen no changes since then.

Yes, if something changes the first thing that I do is check out the "HomeBrewTalk Announcements & Feedback" forum all the way at the top.

 

[Bedlam]

Oh, hallelujah! I'm back to my beloved format. Thanks so much for telling me that you could turn those ads off. All I can figure out is that around the same time the format change happened, I got a new Apple laptop. Very confusing. I never have time to track stuff like this down anyway so just dealt with it.

Thanks!!

A tip for you.

If you have a browser that supports adblock you can remove certain elements of the website including that side piece.

Support the forum. Don't block out all ads. Give one a click sometime. You know you wanna click the Snorg girls...

To be clear, I haven't blocked the ads. They aren't annoying, but some boxes such as new threads, follow us, ect have been blocked just to clean up the experience for me. Don't need the giant HBT logo at the top its gone.

It also comes in handy on certain other forums where people like to spam the same image over and over.

You have not posted to your thread since creating it. Still waiting for more info. Cheers .. Oh, you haven't any idea what a "cranky old guy" is ... I speak from experience.

Yahhh man, my wife is threatening to send me to the doctor to get me some happy pills.

All my sidebars were for Brazzers.

We PAY to not see ads. That is support enough in my opinion.

Pappers determined that is was a sidebar issue, not ads. I'm back in, but still cranky.
