Sidebars in topics

[George]

I think Developers get bored some days, or have nothing to do and invent rubbish so they look busy. One 'new' innovation that has been driving me bonkers was the sidebars in topic views. I've finally figured out how to get rid of the stupid things. They implemented them with one of the upgrades recently as a default setting. Bastards should make new changes optional and if we want them we can enable them in admin. Shoving them down our throats by default is a terrible way to treat your customers. Anyway, I've figured out how to turn them off. They were particularly bad on iPads, where the crappy sidebar took up half the page width!
