To enable the forum sidebar you need to

1. Got to admincp -> options -> Forum Sidebar and Block Options and enable the Forum Sidebar option.
2. Then in admincp -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Blocks Manager > Add Block and select from list below:

* Blog Entries
* CMS Articles
* Custom HTML/PHP
* Forum Threads
* New Forum Posts
* Social Group Discussions
* Tag Cloud

It doesn't currently have that functionality.

Yet another thank you!! I tried it this afternoon at www.sgrid.com and it worked flawlessly. I love the way it's done, with users having the ability to show the sidebar, or hide it.
