Sidebar dissapears permanently on firefox 4 [Fixed]

**itsallgoodie** · May 2nd, 2011, 12:47 PM

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?

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

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.
