This is a thread about gripes, check the Tag Cloud area for gripes.

I have the extension for Firefox that allows me to remove any part of a website that I don't want to see. I've removed the right side panel. So I can't see your gripe.

It's there. But what purpose does it serve?

That list is eventually going to get so long it will take up the entire page.

Maybe we need a new social group for those that don't understand the tag clouds.

I read the Wiki article too and didn't understand it completely either.

I don't want to have to use Firefox to remove stuff. Mike, can't those three thingies that are taking up a third of the screen be put somewhere else? For instance, "Search" is already available at the top of the screen, "Unanswered threads" is also in Quick Links and couldn't "Find My Posts" be put there as well?

I like the idea of the tag cloud, but there isn't enough data in it yet to make it very useful.

If you don't like a particular item on the right, you can hide it by using the arrow at the top-right of it's box. If you want to hide all of them, Premium Members & HJT users can do that under My Account -> Edit Options.

If you mean "hide the sidebar" I have than unselected and the three things are still there.

The arrows just close them up but they are still there.
