I wouldn't use the centre tag. It's deprecated in HTML5 which I believe PB uses and v6 definitely will. It still works though but it will affect the ratings on Google.

Which, good sir, is precisely why I added this part:

Using a Class takes both steps above, but I believe is the preferred way. Let the HTML place the text, but let your CSS take care of its styling.

CSS is the preferred way, but the centre tag shouldn't even be mentioned. It doesn't exist in HTML5.

Okay. I'll just stop posting then. I can't seem to get anything right lately anyways.

Error is the path to enlightenment. For every mistake you're corrected on you learn something new.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, or if I'm just completely blind, but how do you get the sidebar up next to the banner? My site is currently undergoing some changes, and I's like to get this done... I was wondering If you could help?

Use the Move Banner option found in the Other Settings tab of the plugin. This will move the banner down so that it's next to the sidebar.

Also, you seem to have two different versions of the plugin installed and running at the same time. Please disable the older version as it will likely interfere with the previously mentioned option.

The older version is what was keeping my banner from scooting over. Thanks for catching it for me!

I added the Recently Updated Threads plugin to the sidebar, but it isn't showing on every page. How do I get it to do that? TIA

Can you provide a link to a page where it is showing, as well as a page where it isn't showing?

So I've been trying to query for it, can't find it, there was a post once on how to logically turn the shoutbox placement on and off of the sidebar, depending the layout currently on.

Can someone just point me to the proper post with the instructions in it?

That said, it might have been a post to remove the sidebar entirely.  If that is the case, then that will do as well.

Thank you.

The current method of moving the shoutbox into your sidebar is to use the Javascript in this post:

support.proboards.com/thread/433242/script-move-shoutbox

Instead of adding the red <div> code you'd create a Style 3 container in your sidebar and give it the ID move-shoutbox which will then be targeted by the Javascript from that post.

UPDATE:  I'm looking at this script link and it says to add that code where ever you want it to show, so maybe I have over looked something, disregard the italic below until I can review it, maybe I misunderstood your post purpose the first time.

Okay, I'm bad at explaining.

I want the shoutbox in the sidebar on all my pages EXCEPT one custom page.  On that page, I want no sidebar containing the shoutbox, because I want the shout box on the main portion of the page, larger.  I recall a method of some sort once explained having to do with excepting the the shoutbox based upon the name of the page or something to that effect.

To accomplish that you'd add this CSS to the top of the HTML tab of your custom page's settings and substitute the text in green with your preferred shoutbox size.

<style type="text/css">
#move-shoutbox { display: none; }
.shoutbox_messages { height: 500px !important; }
</style>

And instead of the script in the thread I linked you'd use this in your global header, substituting the green text with the ID of your custom page (found after the last forward slash in its URL).

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    if(pb.data('route').params.page_id != "your-page-id")
        $('#move-shoutbox').append($('div.shoutbox.container.full'));
});
</script>

Is there a way to have this floating on the side of the forum. I would rather it be on the outside of the boarder of my forum.

You'd need to use a different plugin for that. The Sidebar Redux plugin is exclusively for placing it alongside your forum content.
