In 3.4, there was a little "x" you could click to make the sidebar go away on the home page. On version 4, I can't figure out how to make the sidebar go away.

By home page do you mean the Forum Category view?

When you are logged in there is a little arrow on the left side.

Click that and you can add/remove blocks in the forum sidebar.

By default there is a Database block added, delete this and it should eliminate the sidebar.

ps, I just discovered this a minute ago... :)

 

Make sure you also hit "Finish Editing" In the lower left.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, forum Category View.

I can't find an arrow on the left side.

Is it visible in the attached screenshot?

I don't see it there. Are you logged in as the Admin?  I don't see AdminCP above Sign Out in that drop down.

 

 

 

Oh sorry, I confused you by leaving out this important detail... I'm just a member of the IP community forums - not an admin. And for my forums, I have not updated from 3.4.7 to 4, yet. So that sounds like an Admin only controllable feature. 

In 4.0 it's all admin-defined - users can't toggle the sidebar themselves.

Ooops sorry I misunderstood.

Ignore me, carry on.

Thanks Rikki.

In 4.0, can an Admin set it so the users can toggle the sidebar?

I'm afraid not - but it might be possible with a third-party hook. I'm sure one would be available in due course.

Thanks again Rikki. And yes, a hook would be nice - if I wasn't Admin I'd HATE not being able to turn off the sidebar.
