    Side Blocks on the forum

    Does anyone actually use the blocks to the left side of the forum? We've had mixed opinions on them so I'd like to hear everyone's feedback please.

    I know the squash the main forum area which is fine if you have a decent monitor and can extend the width of your browser.

    Personally I just hit 'what's new' every time I come on but as you'll appreciate I'm here many times a day :-) So I don't use the blocks at all.

    Please discuss :-)

    I always hit the 'New Posts' button in the menu, and don't think I've ever used the blocks personally.

    Would be good to allow members to view/remove these, I don't think with this particular system there's that option. They can be hidden by user group but not really a solution.

    I'm thinking this may well be the general consensus. I'm sure some members do use them but I'm just deciding if it's worth it.

    slightly off topic, but is there any sort of a mobile theme/plugin that can be installed for when viewing from a phone. Some forums I know use Tapatalk, and I'm sure there must be something similar for vBulletin. At present, I don't find the forum too easy to navigate from my mobile browser.

    What do you mean slightly, that's way off! Lol, just kidding. Yes, there are options that I've been looking at. Members have told me the standard format works ok on iPhones etc. but I will look at the condensed version for mobiles again :-)

    It works alright, but just requires a lot of zooming and swiping to see/read things. Anyways, sorry for going off topic...it happened while replying from a mobile!

    I love this forum, I am always popping in and reading the "New Posts". I never look at the side blocks nor the shoutbox that some people asked for.
    It works ok on my HTC one but I do tend to zoom in, that may be my age and poor eyes though!
    Keep up the good work.
    Many thanks
    Iain
