In my case I wanted the vb navbar to extend full width so I made one of my changes at the bottom of that template. If you want the navbar shoved over by the left column then make the change to the header template instead.

After installing the existing product do the following.

Append at bottom of navbar template.
This portion controls the spacing between the left column and the forum.

<!-- Left Column Code  -->
<div style="width: 100%">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" align="left">
      $leftcolumn
    </td>
    <td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" width="10"></td><!-- adjust width as desired -->
    <td valign="top" width="100%">
      <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
        <tr>
          <td valign="top">
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Insert at top of footer template

<!-- Left Column Code  -->
          </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- End Left Column Code -->

Revised template: left_column.
This template controls the width of the left column. Modify the settings to provide the desired appearance (borders, spacing, etc.)

<table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="120">
  <tr>
    <td align="center" bgcolor="#ffffff">

<!-- Begin custom code -->
Your custom code goes in here.
<!-- End custom code -->

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

BTW - This in no way is meant to diminish the work that was done to come up with the original work. It was workling fine for me in FF but I was installing it on another site. Testing in IE revealed the situation where the "All times are GMT" text was pushed out to the right of the forum. After reading all 14 pages of the thread I discovered nobody had really solved it - at least the posted solution didn't work for me.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!! It me has worked correctly, now I have a couple of questions:

- Might one say the code to me to put in left_column in order that me a block appears as with the plugin without modifying?

- Does it know if there is some way of doing that the blocks of the left side do not appear at the moment of reading the messages?

Thank you very much again
