Thoughts on large sidebar?

My frameworks gives easy control over all the sidebar blocks, among other things:

Does it include Usergroup Permissions?

It's very hard to get the same high
Specially if you have categories & or forums which aren't shown to guests / registered users...

I've just given up to try to have the same height :/

IMO it's not worth even attempting. It's a even more fruitless task if you have many groups and nodes set for view for different usergroups it's just one of those things I think any one admin lives with.

I have reduced all margins and padding for that reason.
I use a fixed width of 992px and the sidebar is 276px and it works fine.
It could quite comfortably go up to 300px if required.

Have you tried removing the "latest" prefix in last post on the forum_list? I think it just makes the page look so much cleaner without it.

Not currently, but it would be easy to add that.

Nifty. Does your framework toggle the whole sidebar also John or just the blocks?
