Your sidebar probably isn't loading because the page does not completely load. The sidebar is actually nearly the last piece of data transmitted to your browser.

Try going to My Preferences and adjust down the number of results when browsing. 20 results per page should always have your pages loading. Oh, and ensure that your sidebar is actually turned on. In My Preferences, it will either be called "Topic Bar" or "Subscription Bar" (the former being the current name, later being the new more appropriate name--it will hold more than topics.) [Heck, I might even revert to calling it "Sidebar", now that there is again just one sidebar.]

Thanks, John. And you did remind me that I had recently added subscriptions and adjusted the number of posts to display per subscription on my sidebar.

I will lower the number and see what happens.

And yes, I do have my sidebar activated.

I'll holler if this doesn't work.

Thanks!

Lowering the number of posts per page.........AND lowering the number of threads per subscription in my side bar, did the trick! When I added subscriptions about a week ago, it must have been just enough to make my sidebar squirrely.

No problems for over 3 hours. YAY!

Thanks John! And you too, WillaJohns for your work on my 'mystery'.

P.S. Sidebar is SUCH a descriptive word, I recommend adoption. :-)
