That'll be just great; I await it at your convenience! Many Members I'm sure will appreciate it!

Also, I'm trying to move the forum statistics into one of the boxes in the column (my site's 3.8 example here) but when I try to move the stats from the "What's going on?" box, it doesn't display what is in the variables, any thoughts on this?

Anything suggestions at all?

I love this mod, but I have a question

I run two styles and use the force users to style hack
How do I uninstall your mod on the ad-free style and keep it on the style I want to keep it on?

And the vbulletin one only shows the columns on the homepage?

that's your CMS. this mod is for your forum, silly.

seven......can widgets like "recent posts" and such go into these blocks, like they do for VB's current block?

Is there a way to configure the width of the block, the padding, and the internal forum width (and I'd MUCH rather do it based on % than fixed pixel width)? For example, I'd like the blocks to be 170px wide, with 10px spacing, and then have the forum occupy 100% of the space inbetween.

That would make it easy to manage, and look proper on all screen resolutions.

[texasteamplayer]

that, and why not integrate this into the "block manager" for vb? so widgets can be viewed and managed that way? Or hack into the VB one and add the permission to be able to minimize a block, or the entire sidebar (that little tab). For people that use these side blocks for ads and static html (menu's, etc) content....users goofing around and minimizing and removing the blocks is a headache.

I'd like to make this block for all pages of the site. even the homepage CMS. We run static content in the side blocks, so the homepage CMS stuff and forums can occupy 100% of the middle space, while the side blocks are the same on all pages.

possible?

That is how it is at the moment. Coulnn are 120px wide and forum contents fluid.

For widgets you have to write your own plugins.

Possible but not recommended.

Remove these two lines from these two templates "ss_twincolumns_start" and "ss_twincolumns_end"

why don't you recommend it?

[texasteamplayer]

made the change. seems to be working. thanks.

[texasteamplayer]

odd. I can get these to work in google chrome just fine, however it screws up the content on the homepage. forums look fine, however aren't respecting me saying the blocks should be 170px wide. Simple CSS change, right?

In IE8, the blocks only show up if I'm logged out? wierd....

[texasteamplayer]

must have been a cookie/cache issue, since the blocks started working/changing to what I set them after a bit. Clearing the CMS cache and emptying cookies helps.

As for the IE8 issues.....as well as the disappearance of the sideblocks when I'm logged out...still persist.

IE8 has the page stretching off to the right (with a scroll bar at the bottom), but chrome doesn't. Neither browser show the blocks when logged in.

[texasteamplayer]

got the logged in logged out issue. Doesn't seem that the blocks work when using the forum template simple black. Switched back to default template/use forum default, and works fine now.

still the big scrolling to the right in IE8. come to www.teamplayergaming.com and see.

blocks seem to be working fine on all pages. even blogs and articles.
