I've noticed when browsing threads this morning that there seems to be an automatic 'shares' sidebar on the left hand side, which has links to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and others. Now, there is also an option to make it disappear, but then it re-appears every time you move to a new page and you have to manually close it again.

Is there a way of getting rid of it entirely?

Like many things - I'm just trying it out. If it doesn't work or overly annoys then I'll take it away again.

Experience suggests that the smallest of changes is met with "I hate it, I need to have what I had before" within the first few hours.

I've made them bigger now, just to please people.

It's far too intrusive - covers part of the user information and part of the quick reply box if you try to use that.

It's not just a case of hating it for me, it's case of it having absolutely no use for me yet not being able to remove it.

...I don't usually make a fuss about changes and give them a chance, but this one is pretty annoying.

It's smaller now which is less intrusive. Don't mind that so much.

NSC will soon be completely blocked to everyone who uses adblock.

But, sure, go ahead.

They're of no use to me, but they may well be to others. At their current, smaller, size I don't find them intrusive on either a laptop or my phone

Erm...no.

The tiny version we have now is much less intrusive - no further complaints, your honour.

I didn't like it when it was big. Now it's smaller, I still don't like it.

Very annoying and would never be of use for me. The browser is bad enough on an iPad these days anyway, adding more stuff isn't going to help. I'm using NSC less and less every day.

I think it's the fact that it stays in the same place on the screen which annoys me, it's like when a fly lands on your TV and you can't help but notice it in the corner of your eye. I just want to SWAT it.
