Forum width increase: allow us to remove one sidebar but not the other.
I want to get more forum space by removing the widgets on the right, but keep the ones on the left. Currently I can't do this; it's all-or-nothing.
I’ve looked at this again, and the extra width is not always shown during preview or upon exiting the Widget mode. However, upon leaving preview mode and refreshing the page the extra width is taken up by the forum. Can you please check this and let me know if you still see the issue? We will investigate the preview mode, but if a refresh makes it display properly then this is a less serious issue.

It doesn't appear to have worked.
What I've done is edited every single widget in the rightmost column, and unchecked its visibility for the forums (this part works – they don't show up on the forums any more). But the forum doesn't increase width to compensate; there's just a lot of empty space where the widgets used to be.
I've tested refreshing and opening it in a new browser.

But removing the widgets in this way does not increase forum width.

If you esit the widgets you can use the visibility tab to turn them off in the forums. This is the preferred method for removing widgets from an area. The "no widgets in forums" setting is likely to be removed in the future.

Yeah this is annoying,esp on forums,makes the forum window really small,and its kinda hard to edit pictures/videos in the edit window because its small...
Even if there are no widgets on the right side,it wont extend the forum more to the right like it used to,so i'm not sure if its a bug or intended,would like a width increase either way
