get rid of it. Why must we keep changing so we are like the rest of IB's sites(all about the $$$$$$). Guess that is what happens when you sell out to the big guys

 

 

i was just about to start a thread about this. glad i am not the only who hates this crap.


please make it go away.

 

Dittchchh

 

All about the money! Everyone states they dont like it, whats the justification on keeping it?

 

effin hate it as well

 

Despise it........get rid of it!

 

The column list of other threads with new posts and the advert below it doesn't add any value to making this a better and more user friendly forum. The only value added would be to the pockets of the forum's owners. I'm on a 350z forum, why would i care about 3yrs no scheduled maintenance on a vw or care about local singles? I don't believe this a step in the right direction towards improving the forum and creating more traffic from new users. What's next, placing adds in threads in between each post? It's getting out of hand now. Keep that column on the main page as others have suggested before.

 

I'm willing to bet that's probably coming in the near future at this rate (merely my conjecture).

What a shame

 

I hate that sidebar. +10000000 on getting rid of it.

 

It is pretty clear that IB has little/no concern for our comments/recommendations.....it's a shame. Even with problems related to the crashing browser problem and virus it took FOREVER for them to show any concern.

 

I have already been spending less time here, and more time on other non-IB forums strictly due to the sidebar aggravation. I'm sure I am not alone on this, and hopefully IB realizes this before they lose too many users/traffic due to it.

 

To IB- this is a sponsor who I am sure pays good money to be on here, yet you still don't listen. I can assure you, that if you start losing your sponsors, you are going to lose the traffic that they bring, which in turn makes your whole sidebar ads and ads in general worthless because they will no longer pay to have ads pop up Seems as if someone might need a lesson in marketing.

 

i roam this site on my iPad, and its terrible. if people dont like it on a 22'' screen, why wouldnt it bother you on a 9'' iPad?

what's the need for the 'hottest topics' on a side bar when i can easily browse each subforum in a matter of seconds. i want my forum/subforums sorted by relevence (which they are), not 'most popular' (side bar).

 

+1

it doesnt look good at all..

i would accept it at the main page, but not all the forums and sub-forums.

 

main page would be ok. every single topic is a bit excessive.

 

I'd like to thank IB for completely ignoring user concerns/comments.......and then moving the ad above the crap no one wants on the right side column.

 

i thought the side thing was always there. the only thing new to me is the ad now there, or at least i think

 

The column on the right clearly isn't for functionality purposes. They make that clear by placing the ad on top now.
