Sidebar Help! It's gone (not fluid style?) vB4 Default Style

[Wisc]

Help!
Ever since I upgraded from 3.8 (yes i am lazy) I have no sidebar, like it is a fixed forum not a fluid. I went into sidebar and there are some things picked to show, but the forum is too wide or something?

have upgraded a few more times.
I am now running vBulletin 4.2.2 Patch Level 4)

Please note that this is the vB4 Default Style

Site is www.hamtraders.com

Can someone please tell me what an idiot I am and what I did?

Thank you

Can't see your site without registering. But if you came from vb3.8 then I guess the sidebar was a mod, or part of a custom style? Then you'd have to ask whoever created that. We don't provide support mods in the main forums.

Hi,
I PMd access

The Manual says can add in Admin Cpannel
Settings --- Options --- Forum Sidebar and Block Options

But I get nothing....

Are you able to tell what I am missing
Manual does not say what to do other than that

OK, sorry, it sounded like you had a sidebar on vb3 that stopped working when you upgraded. I got your PM and I'll take a look if I get a chance, but I'm not really sure if I'll be able to tell from that, I just thought I'd let you know that we couldn't see it.

vboptions > forum sidebar > set those to what you want
forums & moderators > forum blocks > add the blocks you want

Forum blocks is not an option

would that have turned it on?

Try AdminCP > Settings > Options > Forum Sidebar and Block Options

^ That is the area where you enable/disable the sidebar and set it to left or right display (read the bottom setting, leave it ALONE i.e. do not disable cache).

Now of it does not show after that... then do as Lynne noted above and check your blocks, should be one if not more listed - if not then create some new sidebar blocks and afterwords reload the block types then clear block cache and they will show.

*If you recently were adding in plugins OR CSS code to any templates, did you perhaps add in code that hides the sidebar OR did you collapse the sidebar and simply need to click the button w/ the arrows to make it show again? See Attached.

Forum blocks is not an option
I set up the side bar not there

OK when I went in as a superadmin the forum blocks did show up

I did the additional steps unfortunatly the arrow failed to appear

Only code put in the template was to add my banner at the top?

It sounds like you haven't given your administrator permission to modify them. Go to Usergroups > Administrator Permission and give yourself permission to edit the forum blocks.

That did it!!
It is showing up!

Thank you so much! Seriously has plagued me for 2 years or more

Only issue is polls show the thread
I chose new forum posts ~ wrong?
