because of the issue I had in this thread. I'd like to suggest that IPS make this an option controllable from the Admin panel.

I would like to have more control over the sidebar. I want to prevent people from closing it. Since there are varying opinions on this - I'm sure. It should be an option in the admin panel.

PS: I'm still having issues disabling the closing of the sidebar. the proposed solution causes browser errors. if anyone can help, it's appreciated.

An easier way would be to open ipb_styles.css

Find:


And save the stylesheet :)

.sidebar_toggle {

replace with:

.sidebar_toggle {

     display: none;

The side bar is coded for the index page only, is my understanding.
