Guys,
On Forums post details page, on the right side bar, we have following controls:

  • Our Recommended Articles
  • Our Recommended Forum Posts
  • Latest Articles
  • Latest News
  • Latest Blogs
  • Top Articles
  • Free Book chapters
Does these controls add any value to you? Do you care of we have them or not have them?

Thanks you!

Thanks Sam.
We wll look into this but then page does not look good. To wide on machines with 1200x800 resolutions. We will test this and see if it helps performance.

I think the following should be removed.
 
  • Latest Articles
  • Latest News
  • Latest Blogs
  • Top Articles
  • Free Book chapters

  •  
    To the extent that the space is availalbe, in other words not used for anything else, it does not matter. Those items however do usually cause the page to be longer, so that in order to get to the bottom of a thread, I must page up after I page to the end of the page. This is not a big thing but it is a slight inconvenience. I would prefer that the material not directly related to the forum discussions not take up space.

    The general tendency of the users look will be on top and left rather than right side and I personally feel to have them listed on top with another menu with just headings and have a seperate page for listed out topics...
    the space can be occupied with paid ads... :)
