The sidebar appears to own all the space all the way down when showing. The compression is from a script that reduces the width of the forum. If you watch how the forum compresses when you open the sidebar you'll see it in action.
Any one who going to offer any help that's going to work is going to need to see your forum directly. How about a link? I've been working on a lot of positioning items in my forum but with out seeing yours I'm not sure if they would work for you.
