I agree! - Annoying to say the least The panel causes the main thread (width) to shrink by about 25%, leaving an ugly blank space on the right.

If you're not logged in you don't see the 'Similar Topics' panel (I didn't anyway), I figured Firefox 16 or Adblock Plus was the reason for the strange formatting, an element was not displaying properly or something might be broke.

A better solution IMO - use a 'tags' panel at the bottom of the thread, much better and less annoying (intrusive) to the main thread! ... Here's an example!

On a side note, Josh, are you in advertising, you have a knack for putting things front and center, usually in the way - the red "you must register" hmm - reminder, the from outta the blue ad that always pops in to view when I don't want it to, forcing me to click it away, now this, did you sell used cars in a former career.

I agree. That's quite annoying. If it was a solid bar on the side (and smaller), then perhaps it might be different, but for now, I agree with Niobi and Mike.

Any better now?

I removed the javascript floating window, which for some, was overlapping the main content area of the forums. And I populated the right sidebar with the Similar Topics content, along with some Frequently Asked Questions that I'm still assembling.

Login and you won't have that problem. I'm getting ready to make the sign-up reminder the more intrusive floating box, which won't appear if you're signed in.

Thanks Josh - speaking for myself, that seems to work much better.
