On my tablet (pixel c) the sides are on by default (desktop mode) I click the link at the bottom to turn the sides off, but as soon as I click something else, the sides are on again.
How do I keep them off?
"No matter where you go, there you are." "If you can't do something smart, Do something right" "There are three kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't"
the "show/hide columns on this page" link at the bottom of the page is exactly that. "this page." To have it displayed for every page, go to: My Stuff > Preferences
Toggle: Turn off the left column: Yes Turn off the right column: Yes
You'll see these settings if you have them enabled within your Control Panel Control Panel » Portal Settings Allow Users To Turn Off The Left Column Allow Users To Turn Off The Right Column
Would like it to stay hidden when I click the link at the bottom of the page for the duration of my session, or till I click it again.
Having to change my preferences every time is too many steps, as I am frequently switching between devices.
"No matter where you go, there you are." "If you can't do something smart, Do something right" "There are three kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't"
Its there to help visitors on thin screens access whatever information a forum owner has put in to their side columns.
If this helps, you can think of that button as Android's "Hamburger Menu" for sliding out the columns. Except that this first version of "UBB.threads Mobile" is the very first release that offers a mobile (responsive) interface. So right now, look at this feature the same way you'd look at a version 1.0 feature. Because thats what it is
How many pixels wide is it before they get turned off for mobile phones?

and here http://www.websitedimensions.com/ Be aware though, responsive webdesign has changed a whole heck of a lot in just 2016 alone. Also, the end of 2015 is when people started noticing Phablets as being a thing. Even though the Galaxy Tab had already been around for a few years, the resolution on them sucked. The Nexus6 was Google's first Phablet. Your PixelC was released almost one year after Shamu and Flounder... man, I really do hate the Flounder (had a 32GB version. Died after 4 months. Bad nand....all 2GB of it)

i changed it to 901. - now when I view on my tablet, the sides are hidden by default. (it's 900x1280)
I have had a 1st gen and 2nd gen nexus 7, and recently had an insurance claim and since they (google) don't make the nexus or a 7" tablet at all any more they agreed to purchase the 10" pixel C... I love this thing.

/* columns */
@media all and (max-width:901px) {
.left_col{display:none;}
.body_col{padding:0;width:100%!important;}
.right_col{display:none;}
}

Well, changing data in common.css is going to be broken if you neglect to re-apply the modification on a future version; if you put it in your style it won't be affected by the common.css file being replaced.
ok, that worked.. but why 899 and not 901? if my screen width is 900, wouldn't having it at 899 in the settings not activate that piece of script?
"No matter where you go, there you are." "If you can't do something smart, Do something right" "There are three kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't"
It is 899 so that it turns off width is less than 900px
but my width is 900, so wouldn't I want it at 901?

if you copied your current style to a new one, and called it, "StyleName - Hidden Columns" (or whatever). then edited the new style to have the desired css at the bottom of the EXTRAS section, you could easily just switch your forum layout by changing your style
Just add these to that new/copied style's EXTRAS section:
But then again, a user could just go in to their My Stuff > Preference page and turn the columns off. That would be the best way. But it requires about three to five more clicks. One way is the obvious way, and the other way is a quick/fast way to toggle their display on all forum pages, including the portal.
Its all a matter of how you want to customize your forums. And UBB.threads lets you make your forums...yours
