I am testing this on 3.7 BETA 4 and all looks ok

One thing that some others have said about putting this on all pages - don't know about your individual forums but I have placed the code:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="160px">
<table class="tborder" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" width="100%" align="center">
$forumhome_sidecolumn_left
</table>
</td>
<td width="10px"></td>
<td valign="top">

at the bottom of the navbar template

and this code:

</td>
</tr>
</table>

at the very top of the footer template and the side column is on every page of the site.
