• Options to place your sidebars below the top ad or move the banner itself below the ad to be between the sidebars, similar to Smangii's Side Tables in v4
• Sidebars for both sides of the forum that can be enabled or disabled
• Customizable width
• Customizable spacing between each sidebar and between the sidebars and the forum
• Containers with or without title bars
• Individual containers can be enabled or disabled, so you can save them for later
• User-defined IDs for each container so you can add your own CSS for full customization
• Separate headers/footers so you can place content between your sidebars or completely outside of the sidebars
• Option to use dynamic fixed positioning (sidebar only follows you when you've scrolled down enough on the page and stops at the bottom for full visibility)

Setup

• Go into either the Left Sidebar or Right Sidebar tab of the plugin to begin building your sidebar.
• Click on the Enabled checkbox to turn on the sidebar associated with the tab you're in.
• If you'd like the sidebar to scroll down the page with you turn on the Fixed Positioning option.
• The Sidebar Width should be a number followed by the letters px.
• The Sidebar Spacing field also uses a number followed by the letters px and determines how much space is between each object in your sidebar.

Building the Sidebar

• In the Content Boxes section, specify a title for your first sidebar container. This will determine the text that displays in the title bar.
• If you wish to customize your sidebar containers with CSS you can specify an ID in the ID field. Otherwise, you can leave this field blank.
• The Style option determines what your content box will look like. Style 1 uses a regular container with a title bar and a content area below it. Style 2 uses a container without a title bar and utilizes the inner border color around the outside. Disabled will prevent the content box from showing.
• Enter the content you'd like the content box to display in the Content area. This area accepts HTML.
• You can repeat all of the above steps to create more and more containers for your sidebar.

Other Settings

• In the Other Settings tab, choose whether you want the sidebar to show beside your forum content or below your banner with the Move Banner option.
• The Forum Spacing determines how much space is between your forum and your sidebars. The value for this field must be a number followed by the letters px.
• The Fixed Sidebar Spacing determines how much space is between the top of the screen and the sidebar when a sidebar is following you down the screen. The value for this field must be a number followed by the letters px.
• If you want to add headers and footers between both sidebars you can add your content to the Header/Footer tab of the plugin.
