How do you add a sidebar?

[limedaring]

I followed the advice here: http://www.bluepearl-design.com/forums/showthread.php?6382-vBulletin-4-enable-sidebar

"Goto ADMINCP
And then to enable the sidebar goto:
settings --> options --> Forum Sidebar and Block Options
To add blocks:
Forums & Moderators --> Forum Blocks manager."

I've confirmed that the sidebar option is enabled and that I have blocks under Forums & Moderators --> Forum Blocks. The forum manager simply shows two blocks (that I've created) and a display order, no where to "add" them. Can anyone help?

Here is the forum I'm working on: http://forum.weddingtype.com/

I'm trying to create a look like this:

Are your blocks 'active'?

Admincp > Forums & Moderators > Forum Blocks Manager > Edit block/Active YES

If YES, have you tried viewing using the default style?

Blocks are both active.

Can you explain what you mean by "default style"? According to the style manager, that's the only option (I've been stylizing the default).

Ah, figured it out... the tag cloud block won't show up if there are no tags. I thought there would be a placeholder. Also, I created a custom block that didn't show up either, but that's another problem. :rolleyes:

Thanks!
