It IS a little "busy". You can fix some of that, though, by changing your preference in how the screen is presented.

Go to MY STUFF.

Scroll down to MY PREFERENCES

Scroll down to YOUR PREFERRED STYLESHEET (and change it to UBBTHREADS)

Scroll down to TURN OFF RIGHT COLUMN (and answer YES)

Scroll down to SUBMIT (and hit the icon)

I find that a more pleasant view. [/b][/quote]Yes, I've already turned that off. I'd like to be able to shut off the left column as well.

Basically, my solution would be to set the code so that these "columns" only appear on the frontpage, and then when you're at a specific forum (General Discussion, Sports, etc.) they are gone.
