"New Threads" column

[umbrellabeach]

What's with the New Threads column on the right (is it new in itself, as I've never noticed it before)? It's really annoying. I like the display wide as it's always been. I can manually hide the column by clicking the arrow, but I don't want to do that every day.

Besides, I always go to the New Posts page anyway so I'm going to see new threads whether they're in an annoying side display or not.

They've taken away the status update thingy on the right too.

I was wondering is it just me, but seem not.
