I forgot how to remove the info boxes on the right of the screen (Top Posters, Newest Members, etc.) Any help will be appreciated.

I did not know they could be removed.
Right now I don't have them, seems they have not been there all
day: first day of this. I thought something was wrong with the
site. On this screen right now I have nothing but this box
in which I am typing and the smiley thingies above it. Is there
something wrong with the site???

A) They don't show up on the Reply screen and 2) if you're far enough down in a thread they'll be up at the top where you'd have to scroll up to see them.

..and there used to be 3 or 4 screen styles that didn't display them at all, thus freeing up space for forums -- which is what I've been whinging about!

Sho'nuff, alright! Thar they be!
Thanks. I did not scroll down far enough. But never took them
too seriously anyhow, on the right side of the screen, so out
of sight out of mind. But the screen still looks like it is
missing something, only half there or something.

I switched from GooG_v2 to default, and now it all lines up fine.

I just did as well, per your suggestion. Things definitely
look better, tho' the blues are lighter in hue.

Thanks, I'd forgotten all about stylesheets. Much better now.

While we're on about changes to functionality on the board. Whenever I respond to somebody's post, my answer appears as a response to the opening post, and is sorted, in the view I have, at the bottom of the threads. I would say it has become contextually dethreaded.

Huh. I had just posted in response to eta in the Hardware thread when I read your post, zmjezhd, so I went back to look, and sure enough it read that I was replying to Wordsmith. I couldn't remember if I had clicked on the Reply button in his post or simply used the quick-reply box at the bottom, which used to show that I had responded to the last post. SO--I deleted that one after copying the content, then went back and clicked Reply in his post. This time it showed as me responding to him.
I clicked the Reply button in your post, and...

Edit: it shows I have responded to your post.
