@MTP,

You are a really big help to others. Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to enable the latest threads for all forums without manually putting all ID's? Or, am I screwed.

[MagicThemeParks]

@bmckinley, thanks for the nice words!

Now, if I can only find out how to add this sidebar column in all of my 'custom pages' and forumhome only I'll be good.

[TheChaosFactor]

Is it possible to add the contact/buddy list to the sidebar at all, or is that not an option?

But if I choose "all pages" as I would, the vbadvanced CMPS will be shifted on the right ... (or on the left ) leaving a space biggest as the sidebar but empty.

Any other guys faced with this problem? suggestion?

i have the same problem.

did anyone come up for a fix for this yet?

please help!

I really, really liked this mod, but it was causing too many view issues with 3.8.4, therefore I had to uninstall. If it is ever updated and thoroughly tested with 3.8.4 and custom skins, I'd consider reinstalling.

Thank you for the hard work!

[visitangeles]

has any one figured out how to fix it for vbadvanced? i use this for Index in the control panel and no problem. i use ALL pages, then my cmps_index.php is all messed up. it moves everything over to the right (i am trying to ONLY have a left column on every page). PLEASE help!

i even tried to insert forum id numbers, but that did not fix it as well.

Alisa,

Got to be your skin. Ours is on 3.8.4 and works well all the time...even with me continually trying to mess things up. Does your install work OK with default style?

[MagicThemeParks]

I use it on Forumhome only and mine works with 3.8.4 fine. And, mine is a custom skin. Although, some custom skins will have issues though from what I understand.

[Alisa Lindsay]

Honestly, I have not had time to test it further. My original custom skin was really old and out of date, so last week we totally updated and revised the site. Prior to that, I had no issues with the sidebar. Afterward, our tech said that the sidebar caused issues when resizing the browser.

IF I can find the time to set up the test board, I'll check this out a bit more thoroughly.

Thanks and Regards,

Alisa
