I upvoted, but I'd honestly prefer the forum list to be expanded by default instead. Either way, I'm good with it. It's better than the void.

You're lucky derailing has been a topic lately, or there might've been another comment about sticky sidebars.

One compromise is that there might be an option to have some of the sections expanded by default and others collapsed.

I'll see what we can do.

I wasn't able to expand specific sections, so either all of them are collapsed or all of them are expanded.

We can choose which sections are in the sidebar, though. I went ahead and removed some of the less popular subforums from the sidebar and expanded it by default.

In order to better organise things, I've also added in a "Trading Post" widget that displays all of the Trading Post sections.

We weren’t able to make the sidebar stickied, although even if we could, we didn’t want to limit the sidebar in the event that we added more widgets to it in the future. To elaborate further, a sticky sidebar would limit us to the space above the fold.

In the meantime, expanding it so that it’s not a bunch of empty space is all we can do.

If the side bar is now expanded. The middle section has a scroll bars on it? Maybe add a min-height to that section to remove the scroll...

The middle always had scroll

Oh it feels more obvious now

I didn't really notice it before but now the page is longer I think the featured boxes and the one on the right should all expand a little.

Being roydan is awesome. Last week I got a suggestion implemented *despite* your downvotes threats *and* a 12 upvote requirement.

So... have a sit:

Yeah, since the sidebar has been expanded, it probably looks more obvious. The middle (and right side) used to go down to the bottom, but it would still scroll a bit.
