[Forum] Right column sidebar on all pages?

[PcosKat]

Currently, the side bar is only on FORUM HOME.

Is there an option to have it show on all pages in all forums?

No but you can install the Everywhere Sidebar modification to do this from vbulletin.org

Thanks!

BTW, why isn't this a standard option with vB?

I'm told that EveryWhere Sidebar causes security issues due to the way it's coded. Can you tell me why you recommended it?

Also, is there a reason that the option to show the sidebar on all pages isn't standard? Most visitors to forums don't land on the home page of a forum, and most time spent on a forum isn't spent on the home page.

Thanks

I don't recommend any third party add ons, I'm simply pointing you in the direction of one that does it.

As for why, I don't know...

I tried that mod for a while but eventually uninstalled it. Like you say, it was nice to have the sidebar everywhere. Or so I thought until I tried using my laptop on a wireless connection. Slows things even when hidden, and takes up way too much of the screen real estate.

Still, I won't disagree with you that we should have the option in default vb to limit/expand the number of pages it shows on.
