Hello y'all. (This is actually a thread with a collection of sidebar modifications)
Since the default sidebar is a little bit too short for a regular forum, I think that at every forum needs to have some additional blocks.
So, here's a little tutorial to let you know what you can do with your sidebar.
Before you start I suggest that you add every CSS addition to the template called EXTRA.css
Everything you want to add before the forum statistics you'll need to add/edit in the template called sidebar_online_users.
Everything you want to add after the forum statistics you need to add/edit in the template called forum_list AFTER the following line:
If you want to remove the visitor panel at the forum home, you can do it by changing the following code in the template called forum_list
to

This is actually a remake of the "Online Users", it has some extra features.
To install it, simply replace all the code in sidebar_online_users with the one provided in the topic of the modification.
As the title says, it adds an RSS Feed block in the sidebar which you can specify.
Check the topic for installation instructions because that's a very good tutorial on how to install it.
If you want little icons before your header titles there, you can use this modification to do this.
Personally I reject this add-on because it's extra loading time. It's nice already without icons.
In sidebar_online_users, remove the code provided in the topic/
This adds a Twitter Block to the Sidebar. Silmply follow the rules in the topic
Want to add something simple? Follow that topic.
Don't forget to submit your code if you're done so we can all enjoy it!
If you got 10 staff members online at once, your sidebar will be huge! This modification will only show the avatars of the staff members so it will only be 3 lines instead of 10.
If you don't want 2 different blocks for Staff and Members, this brings them together.
If you want to link some sites, you can do it with this modification.
Adds "Date and Time" in "Forum Statistics" after the "Latest Member" line.
Well, this is it. I hope your sidebar will now be as you wish
If I forgot one, please say so.
