| Do you get access to the wrapper on Invision Free? Just wonderering cause I never bothered with a hack for mine and just edited the wrapper myself. Principle should be the same for 1.3, but don't know what you can access on IF.

| InvisionFree does let you have access to Board wrappers. Here are the sections: Doc Type Meta Tags Javascript Header & Body Footer Plus one style sheet area.

| Really shouldn't be a problem then, although I've not looked at the wrapper it should be easy enough to add a sidebar.

| I am trying to add this hack to a test IPB 1.3 and so far, it only appears at the bottom, next to the copyrights. EDIT: I have gotten it close to the correct position with some heavy tweaking! Still needs more work....

| Yes this is based on 2.0.x. I had to do some heavy modifications when I moved from 1.3 to 2.0

| Larry, I have had to revamp a lot with this code. I even had to tweak other parts of my board to make the box look half way decent. Would you like to see what I did and the code? Just click the link below. Test Board - BOX HACK The following code I have placed in the FOOTER section. Code: <!-- Sidebar Hack

| Seems to be a complicated way of doing it and there is no guarente that 390px down will fit right on all resoultions. I'm viewing at 1280x1024 and the board isn't centered as it was a large empty space down the right hand side. When I get a chance I'll install IPB 1.3 somewhere and shee if it can be done through the board wrapper. This is how I do it on IPB 2.1.x and have done it one 2.0.x so it should be similar.

| WELL let me know... Interesting feedback. I guess I was being too biased with my resolution. (and that's a pun too) The highest res my flat panel can support is 1024x768 @ 32bit.  Perhaps "em's" are in order.
