Side Blocks on the forum

[James990]

Never use the side blocks, always hit New Posts

I only go to new posts too, unless I'm looking for a specific thread

how about to use this space for something more important?
resources
pined posts
suppliers etc...?

I never pay much attention to the side blocks; I tend to just click on "New Posts" or if I find myself with a little more time on my hands (hahahahahaaaaaa yeah, whatever) then I'll go to the main forum and just wander around to read a load of random threads. I'm not really sure what could be used in their place as I've never really paid much attention to the side of ANY forum, to be honest.

As for the earlier question on mobile formats, I've used Tapatalk with my own forum for years and each month around 40% of the people visiting the site are using their Tapatalk plugin. Out of those, more than half have the paid version. Personally, I use the full browser version whenever I'm visiting a forum on my phone as I don't want a piece of software to decide what I can and can't see, and how everything is displayed. But I also don't like mobile versions of ANY site!

As an addendum... it feels pretty weird giving an opinion on a site that I've only been active on for a few weeks, but I'm hopeful that my critique/observations don't make anyone think "Eh? Who the hell is this guy??"

Lol, not at all, I welcome comments from everyone and it's good to hear from new and old

I can always fill the space with adverts! Is probably just leave it so that the forum is fill width though.

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