ok i figured out how to make it open by default
first i edited
vb4sidebar_template
and removed this: (to remove the image button)

<a id="sidebar_button_link" href="#"><img id="sidebar_button" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/tab-expanded.png" alt=""></a>

then i edited vbulletin-sidebar.js (its inside the clientscript/sidebar/ folder)
commented out this line:

//	YAHOO.util.Event.on(this.sidebar_button, "click", this.toggle_collapse, this, true);

above it, i put:

this.expand();

i am sure this isnt the best way to do it, but it works

How do you set this to be open by default please

Just upload the content of the images folder to your customized style images folder.

You can have it where ever you want, but would it be relevant as it requires reading quite a lot of data from the database that would not necessary be needed on showthread.

If there is a high demand for this addition, I can add an option for it.

I have just added an attachment with additional images for the "Latest Posts" and "Newest Members" blocks.

Of course, the designers can put on more images for specific styles. :up:

Thanks a lot! It's working now

One more problem:

When I click in some tag in tag cloud, it gives me an error:

Not Found
The requested URL /forum/psyfactory was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What can I do to fix it?
