Sidebar dissapears permanently on firefox 4 [Fixed]

[itsallgoodie]

so, i found a new problem...or maybe im just dumb. I closed the sidebar on the main forum page (the thing with the donation button, the "top this" and "top that". I closed it by clicking the dirctional arrows. I remember there being arrows to bring it back when I have done this before but I no longer see them. Maybe I am missing them but I cant find them. How do we fix this?

With me (on Chrome), it's still there. The white label, with blue-ish ">>". It's on the left side of the forum, next to "Rules and Regulations".
If it's not there, could you provide a screenshot or tell us your OS and browser?

Bug confirmed on Firefox 4.0.x - It's originally there, but once hidden the button to make it reappear indeed is gone.
Digging into the code later - it's 2:27 AM, and I've got driving lessons tomorrow. Having a good night of sleep would be nice.

addition: In case any other admin feels like debugging, the code for the sidebar is nested in Body -> div (class:Body_Wrapper) -> div (id:sidebar_container)

The sidebar container-div has a style attribute setting the width to 0pt. When modified (trough a plugin like Firebug) the icon (to bring back the sidebar) will appear near the bottom of the page.

alright i can do that. I know my way around firebug quite well, can i click it when edited through FB?

[cPT.cAPSLOCK]

Haven't tried that as my first priority was making it reappear again.
Give it a try and report back with your findings ;)

I'll look at this in a second

So i changed it in FB and clicked it and now i have my sidebar back. So for now I am set. But if we can find a fix for it so a user who is not as technically inclined as us doesnt have to deal with this bug. Let me know if i can help change it or anything. I just dont know where to go from here so I am looking to you two.

Oops. I tested it, and now it's gone... HA HA! That's what I get.

[j0be]

Whelp, it's not a javascript error. More testing... AWAY!!!

[itsallgoodie]

ya i got mine back with the firebug fix--just manually changing it. but there has to be a way to change what its set to right?

I'm using FF4 and it's still there.

I'm using FF4 and it's still there.

If you close the sidebar on FF4, or any version of FF I believe, the button won't reappear. You need to manipulate the script (possibly the wrong term, Goodie feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :p ) to get it back.

nah you were right...this never got fixed though...or i dont think it did. D: I cant edit the scripts, WE NEED A HERO! J0BE, Where Are You?

I see the line to change, but exactly do I need to change? I mean what section should I change... I just want to be sure before I screw my browser up.

[j0be]

It is fixed! Here's what I added to the style sheet

#content_container[style*='margin-left: 0pt;'], #content_container[style*='margin-left: 0px;'] {margin-left:-60px !important;}
#sidebar_container {min-width: 28px !important;}
