Old type of File library and disable right side

[roma01]

The line of a download is short and on right side there are forum topics,
is it possible back to older form of library page and disable the forum topics on right side?
The dowload page is very slow also.

What you see is our new style. Web sites are designed with multiple columns these days, it's just the way it is done. The right column is being used to let you know about other parts of the site.

Any slowness you see now is just temporary. Now that we have a full load on the servers for the first time we need to do some tweaking to make them run right.

Is it possible hide the right column?

Is it possible hide the right column?

Sorry, I guess I was not clear enough the first time. No, it is not possible.

Why? Is it hiding your downloads column?

I agree, I'd prefer having the downloads full page as before (we don't have the downloads list occupying the right side of the forum page). But, I spend more time in the forum than in the downloads so I'll learn to live with it.

I have noticed a new irritant apparently caused by the forum posts in the column on the right of the files page - if someone posts a video in a forum message it delays the opening of the files page, I assume while the video is being loaded. A lengthy video means I sit there fuming, wondering if the system or site is hung, my connection is lost, or Dr. Zhivago was posted in a forum.

If we must endure the forum being on the files page, can you at least block videos from being loaded there? Perhaps replace them with a notice of attached video, and we can go to the forum if we wish to view it.

I really don't think the actual video file is being loaded. However, blocking those is something we intend to look into. We have a list of things we'd like to tweak after making the big change and we get to them each in turn.
