I see, that's called the "What's Going On Box" not the footer.

I tested this on 4.0.8 and it should work the same on most 4.x versions.

Edit your FORUMHOME template.

Near the bottom find all the sidebar code, for me it looks like this, your version might be slightly different:

	<vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
		</div>
	</div>

	<div id="sidebar_container"<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'"> class="sidebarleft"</vb:if>>
		<a id="sidebar_button_link" href="#">
			<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'">
			<img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed-left.png" alt="" />
			<vb:else />
			<img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed.png" alt="" />
			</vb:if>
		</a>
		<ul id="sidebar">
			{vb:raw sidebar}
		</ul>
	</div>
	</vb:if>

Now cut all that code and paste it directly above the line:

<!-- what's going on box -->

It should work as you want.
