Looks like the settings indeed have not been configured yet.

Have at it.

Well that is an interesting design but I was thinking more like when you hover over say a 75x75px picture it would have a pop out effect that expands the picture to the 150x150px with some information next to it. But I will do as you suggested and look around for the codes I need.

As for the list of things... i guess I as just looking for a list of the things you've already mentioned and little walk throughs because I really suck at coding to the point that I don't even know really how to use the ID system of this plugin lol.

But again thank you.

It sounds like you just want a simple "onmouseover" effect. 

Try configuring your code like suggested here and see if that is what you are looking for.

Yeah I saw that, but I want it to do something a bit more then just expand, the closest thing i can find to what I saw on the other board (and now can't seem to find) is something more like this tympanus.net/Tutorials/ProximityEffect/index3.html only without the large background picture.

(I do apologize if this is not where to place this question, please move if it is)
I am trying to figure out how to change the background color of all my style 1 boxes, without changing the background color of all my content containers (which is what happens when the color is edited in the visual editor). Is there a way to change all style 1 boxes or is it something that I will have to somehow change each through CSS individually?
-Thank-you!

You can do them all at once.

#sidebarr-left > .container > .title-bar,
#sidebarr-right > .container > .title-bar {
    /* Title Bar CSS goes here */
}

#sidebarr-left > .container > .content,
#sidebarr-right > .container > .content {
    /* Window CSS goes here */
}

Wonderful! Thank-you!

I am sorry if this is a ridiculous question/has already been answered, but I can't seem to figure out how to get a scrollbar? I am using it here and I want to be able to add a scrollbar to the Plot one.

Do you want it on the whole container or just the stuff below the Plot heading?

Either is fine.

To add it around the plot text, simply add this code around it.

<div style="height: 300px; overflow: auto;">
Text goes here
</div>

Change the number in green to your preferred height before it cuts off and adds a scrollbar.

Yo, everything is good with my sidebar, just one problem.

I'm wanting it as a way to show who are the Staff, and I want to have their names be linked to their profiles. Example:

Admin:
-ThatOneDude. <--- I want that name to lead to that profile if clicked (No, that's not a real profile, just an example). I have attempted using the URL code, , but it failed.

I've seen many other sites be able to link words in the Sidebar to member profiles, but I don't know how to do it.

Sounds like you simply want to post a link to the profile page with the link text being the staff member's name.

The code for that is <a href="http://support.proboards.com/user/202158">Catalyst</a>  Just change the URL to the URL for each staff member on your Forum and the name to their name. The URL address in the example is to your profile page on here.  It would be very similar on your site.  Just go to the profile of each staff member and copy the URL from your browsers address bar.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but when moving the shoutbox to the side, I put the CSS and did everything correctly but the style box stuff doesn't seem to completely go away. Can you help me?

Hi,

I thought I had read how to use this sidebar plugin to show "New Posts" but can't now find the template for that. Can you direct me? I've got it installed properly with welcome banner okay - just am not sure what to put in to make the new posts show up. If this should go somewhere else, I apologize.
