You probably noticed a slight change
There was one major reason behind this - Photo Trip Reports. Personally, I love PTR's and it irked me when I couldn't turn off the side bars to see the entire photo on the screen (unless I was at work on a 19" flat panel). Well, apparantly this wasn't possible with our old layout and somehow, I think this bothered other members to. The sidebars are awesome while annoying at the same time.
Now we have arrows up at the top right to enable/disable the left and/or right side bars at will which is perfect for viewing these Photo Trip Reports with large photos inserted
If the new layout irks people more than not having this ability - let us know through the poll. It will expire in 7 days so if it doesn't rack up to many no's by the end of the week, its staying this way lol.
I actually think it looks better anyway
