[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6491785, member: 12731"] Thank you for a speedy reply. Just to be clear: I know I included the "advertisement" sidebar in my list, but I know and respect that this isn't possible to turn off (without pay membership). I was wondering about the other sidebars, the ones showing purely EN World stuff. And to be super clear; when you say "turn off", do you really mean turn off, as in "doesn't load at all, no framework, no divider, no nothing" as opposed to "hiding" the info (which, as I explain above) doesn't help me since it's primarily speed I'm after, not screen estate. Well, I realize the info is useful to some. And to be honest, if those sidebars came with zero speed penalty, I would probably think so too. However, since surfing with the entire sidebar element thingy turned off is much MUCH quicker to load each page (reading a thread does mean loading a new page pretty frequently), well, for me the cost-benefit ratio doesn't pay off. I simply don't need the site telling me about latest news etc on every single page load. If I want headlines, I visit the main page. If I want specific rpg discussion, I visit specific discussion threads. Call me old fashioned :) I don't remember all calls as they go by, but ads, google analytics, social buttons, "feed Mikle" whatever that is, facebook, as well as a whole bunch of loading to fill those headlines; well I'd guess half a dozen external sites at least. But I could be wrong; after all, it's your site :) All that adds up to at least a whole second's unneeded and unwanted wait. Again thanks. Best regards, Zapp [/QUOTE]
