It also would not hurt if it was obvious to us regular users if or how we could unhide the post at some later time.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted April 16, 2021 Author Staff Share Posted April 16, 2021 yeah, it is so odd that a user can hide but not unhide their own posts... I do not think there is a way to do that.

This is not new and you have been able to hide your own content for around 2 years. It was added when users wanted to stop an argument, as they felt intimidated by other forum users and meant that the moderators could still see what had been said, but the argument stopped because the post was "gone" Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

AFAIK The whole thread is hidden when the Author hides their first post, (not the just the first post is hidden leaving the rest behind) In other words you do only have the right to hide your own posts, and as a consequence you can hide a whole thread if you are the OP. surprising, but true as I understand it Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

R C-R Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I can see that it would be weird if we could hide just the first post without hiding all the replies to it. That is why I (wrongly?) assumed previously we could not hide a topic we authored, at least once it had been replied to. Regardless, if we can't unhide an OP I think the option should not be available to us.

How often did hiding a post/thread happen in the past? I think, if someone has some really good reason for removing his posts/threats, there's always the option to contact a moderator.

Alfred Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Thanks, Walt. I forgot that I’d seen that post! The default set requires a lot of scrolling to reach it, but I suppose that becomes unimportant once the ones you want are added to the ‘Recently Used’ section at the top.

So, the full CSS "hack": #ipsLayout_sidebar { display: none; } #ipsLayout_mainArea { display: initial; } Thanks Applied the hack to Chrome browser, via a Chrome Extension, and it works, now have full width on all Activity Streams (and discover page). An acceptable solution (to me) if the main cause of the issue cannot be found. Note to Serif: This hack overrides/hides the Newsletter box. So, if someone has not yet subscribed to the newsletter, they will no longer get that box visible on their screens with this hack applied Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Using just the "display: initial" without hiding the sidebar will stretch the main area while pushing the sidebar content to the bottom of the page. In fact, that's the least destructive "hack": #ipsLayout_mainArea { display: initial; } That's all it needs, should anyone feel the need to subscribe to the newsletter at a later date… :) Alfred 1 Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 When I open a topic I am following using the round button to the left of the topic title that used to open the topic & automatically scroll to the first unread reply, that now sometimes does not work -- instead it opens to some reply somewhere in the middle of the topic, so I have to manually scroll down to where the unread posts begin.
