I agree with Shelley because if you want to modify a bit the board (example: for have an "everywhere sidebar" or the forums in columns) you need "more space" in the homepage, surtout if you have a fixed layout. Yes, you can do this with an addon, but i think that sidebar toggle and collassable forums have to be a standard feature for all forums software (IPB and VB has this in the core from ages....why Xenforo not?).
I respect the Kier's view, but i think this: you have created a wonderful board that give to the users more fun and "actions" respect of the competition. This feature don't need a big work to be implemented, and IMHO is very used by forum members.
Yeah the cookies are part that put me in the oven. I just could not master them. GRRR.I coded one awhile back but forgot to post it as a modification, I don't see the harm in doing so, if I remember correctly it took me less than 30 minutes to get it sorted and that's because I've rarely worked with jquery cookies! We got extra user postbit info by showing enough support so hopefully this could be an option as well.

I am not for or against this 100%. I know it is not beneficial to the forum software itself but it is to the owners of licenses , features like these attract people and gives them more control of a page which always makes people feel like they wanna be here. That is how myspace made it big in the first place...people with no real web-skill could make their own "webpage" of sorts which was more about having control over things in their browser window than anything , at least with all of the people I know.
On the other hand if done it would need options to disable as I know many people that will not return to a page that felt too "alive". I won't be torn if it is not added to the core as it 100% (I think) could be coded into an addon that integrates seamlessly with XF ( see BBCM )...however I would be excited to see it either way. It would let me replace the half-arsed one I made for myself.
If there are more important items to develop I certainly understand. I just wish it was on a to-do list somewhere rather then a written-off list.
Hear hear. I hope this becomes part of XF as a core feature in the end. Designers would love it!
From what I've seen him say, I think its because it doesn't serve much actual point.I think Kier has made it abundantly clear he isn't interested. I am not a designer, maybe it's a real ***** to do, I don't know. However, he is obviously not interested. I find it an odd bit of marketing strategy, but it's not my business.

Most people are never going to actually collapse the sidebar and it isn't like with vBulletin or IPB where the sidebar is made up of non-essential information; most things (excluding add-ons) are essential information.
There is no sidebar (by default) in posts so it shouldn't effect charts.Unless of course you have a forum on foreign exchange, like I do - and have a lot of people wanting to post charts. While it can be done, and it's not bad - a wider body certainly wouldn't hurt either!

is really the only reason, why not introduce a new variable which could be set if the toggle feature should be disabled on the page?The sidebar may have important information - the perfect example would be the reporting system. It's the same sort of reason why we don't generally have a global sidebar hide toggle.
