Posted May 18, 201213 yr There doesn't currently seem to be a mod that permits this and I think it would be a fine addition to the site if you were able to place the sidebar on every page. This doesn't have to be a compulsory option, you could turn it on and off, but I personally would love to see this!
May 19, 201213 yr Author but doesn't the global sidebar mod do just that? No, it allows you to set a custom sidebar for every page, but not the index one with all its features.
June 28, 201213 yr +11. I'm surprised this isn't standard. It's almost too standard to assume it's not standard!
June 28, 201213 yr I was convinced when they first released version 3 with the sidebar on the index that any moment they would add a setting allowing it to be displayed on all pages, it seems like such a glaringly obvious idea. I would bet that if you look at your board's numbers, only a fraction of people are arriving via the board index, and many people never see that page at all. For us it's about 15%: everyone else is coming directly into a topic via a search engine, or has bookmarked some forum page. So we put effort into making the "landing page" great and then no one lands there! I can't put anything important in the sidebar because so few people see it.
June 28, 201213 yr + 1 also perhaps IPS can tell us how to change the code to work around until such time as its made into a setting. :)
June 28, 201213 yr Unfortunately it's not so simple: a lot of the CSS will only work right on the index page. I think that ball is in Invision's court on this one.
