How to insert sidebar inline with first post or first thread

[RobinHood]

I'd like to insert a sidebar for extra content on the thread_view, forum_view, find_new_threads, member_view and a few other places.

I don't want the sidebar to take up the entire right side of the screen though, just everything from the first thread down if it's a forum view listing threads, or from the first post down if it's the thread view with messages.

Kind of like this where the site sponsors are. I've tried a few things, but can't seem to get it right.

Im also looking for something like this, would be great if someone could come up with something

Okay, I think I've figured most of it out. Although it screws up my new post indicator.



You can see the new post indicator has been moved inside the post on this style, I'm wondering if that's because of the issue I've encountered



I'll document what I've done so far tomorrow when I'm more awake

I've made a post here about it.
