What new sidebar? My PC monitor screen is 4:3 and has a wide, blank space down each side of the forum page. Is this how it's supposed to be 'cos I can't find anyway to stretch it sideways? No problem on other forums or web pages which fill the screen
Now I've inserted two horizontal lines how do I remove them?
What new sidebar? See lapourtaider's post above, you need to join the relevant group.
Remove the horizontal lines by using the Edit option and getting rid of them.

Somewhere I have heard the term "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
It most often applies to people tweaking forum software and often ends in tears.

I seem to have missed all the fun. No sidebar, haven't joined the group, listed as a "Member" rather than a "Non-gamer" ...
Is it too late to ask for my money back?

You didn't miss much .. t'wasnt an improvement, more of an annoyance. In which case, what improvements would you like, Sue, so I can cater for your personal appreciation of the forum?  As you should know by now .. I am very happy with what you have produced 😊😊 But I would ask you to tone down the 'tweaking' .. as someone has just said .. 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' 🙌 |

'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' 🙌 The person who said that, Aardvark, builds his own computers; I'm sure he didn't stop tweaking at the point that he got the screen alight and the means to put words on it; I'll stop tweaking when I think I've got things to the point where they don't need fixing, not when you ask me to tone down the tweaking.  Perhaps you don't remember the tweaking that went on in the first couple of months of TNFF's existence? |

I've joined the sidebar group but still don't know what I am supposed be seeing.
Can someone please say why I have a wide space down each side of the forum page.
And 'edit' doesn't let me remove/delete the two horizontal line I inadvertently inserted by hitting the line under the font size arrow.

The sidebar as such doesn't exist anymore. The shoutout box is back at the bottom of the page, but only visible to members of the [Shoutbox user] group.

I've just gone through the process of editing out your horizontal lines, beejay , below is an image which should explain how in simple terms (I put them back in after editing so you can do it yourself):

I don't know what Theme you're using, beejay, but on my laptop screen, 1350 x 645 px, roughly, I don't have wide spaces either side of the forum page using the Default theme, though I do have some space either side using other themes. Below are screenshots from my laptop showing how the themes look on my screen, from one side to the other - yours may be different.
1. Default theme (below)
2. Prolassic theme (below)
3. Simplistic theme (below)
4. Lite theme (below)
5. TDBlue theme (below)

Cursor at position 1 deletes everything which I wanted to avoid. I see now that because the second horizontal line takes up full width of the page the cursor at position 2 is effectively at the first space after it.
Is it normal that there is an empty space down each side of the page?
