Hello, tech wizards. Most of the times I log in, I see the "hottest threads" panel on the right side of my screen. This is true whether I am on my computer or my phone/tablet. Which threads are hottest is not of interest to me. On my computer, it's not a big deal. I can still read the things on the rest of the screen. On my phone and tablet, however, that panel squeezes the rest of the page enough that things are hard to read. I can close the panel, but when I click on a thread and later come back to the main page, the hottest threads panel is back. My only option is to open threads in a new tab, which is easy to do on my computer and how I generally browse the web, but a bit of a pain on my iPhone and iPad.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to opt out of seeing "hottest threads?" Thanks for your help.
