The sidebar is showing at the bottom of the page. Any idea how to fix it? A:It is either due to one of these: 1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look. 2.

Good product!
Quick ideas to make it better: - disable collapsing sidebar (if you want to place ads on it you don't want users to hide it, did it manually) - ability to place it everywhere except on thread display --> already exists, my fault - ability to expand posts when viewing a thread after sidebar ents, ie, to remove the white gap after all blocks end |

yeah. seems like a lot of improvements.
Again, would really like the ability to have dual sidebars. also, ability to prevent sidebar from being collapsed (vertically and horizantally). For vertical collapsing of blocks, I'd like to be able to create a block and then select whether it can or can not be collapsed (so some menu's or other blocks users can close, but ad blocks, or mandatory blocks they can not). where do we modify the block options (for usergroups and such?) |

yeah....it would be good to have user group specific blocks, like ads. So, if you have a site subscription, that removes all ads, it doesn't remove all the side blocks we need.
Again, I'm more than willing to pay you for this. pm me, and we can talk about what we need specifically, and what you can add to your mod. You can still host it here, and everyone can have it, but we'll pay you for your trouble in making the mod what we need it to be. |

found the mod options. So, yeah..... I'd like it to be per block, so each block has it's own user permissions (or perhaps groups that are allowed to see it, by group number...pretty easy since a lot of forum functions use this).
And then, sidebar on both sides (meaning you'll have to specify when you create a block which side it will be on (left, right). And then, no more collapsing the side bars horizantally (so people can't turn off the ads/menus/whatever). That can be a global option, like most of your mod options now. |

Correct, I completely forgot to remove it afterward, just upgraded to 4.0 and still a lot to do

Ugh, I just installed it and have the same exact problem. But, I have tested it with FireFox and Safari and it does not happen. It happens when using the browser on my Android phone. i have not tested it with Internet Explorer yet. But a good portion of my user base browses from their phones, so this is affecting my site...

<i>Unfortunately not compatible with vBulletin 4.0.3 :/</i>
EDIT: It works with v4.0.3. You just have to recreate the Blocks and be sure you got text in the content field, even if you use a custom template, otherwise it wont be displayed. |
