I still love that the forum takes up the entire browser window. I never used the left-side stuff, and just make things more cluttered for me. I get that it's not always desirable for the text to be extended across the entire monitor, but I rarely have my browser maximized, so it's perfect for me.

The #1 reason I like the new setup is that when I'm logged on with my phone it's actually relatively usable, and nowhere near as hideous as the mobile style view.

If this is changed, please allow an option to keep this layout.
