Ok, I hacked this in myself!! Look at me go! haha
The way this hack originally worked, is that when new user signs up, the side bar wont show for them. It simply doesnt put the value 1 or 2 into the database in the U,Sidebar area...
Sooooooo, if you do this below, it will add the new user into either the left or right, depending on how you want to set it.
Below, when a new user signs up, default them to view the sidebar on the LEFT side... In adduser.php find this:
// ----------------------------------
// Insert this user into the database
$query = "
INSERT INTO {$config['tbprefix']}Users (U_LoginName,U_Username,U_Password,U_Email,U_Totalposts,U_Laston,U_Status,U_Sort,U_D
isplay,U_View,U_PostsPer,U_EReplies,U_Registered,U_RegEmail,U_RegIP,U_Groups,U_Title,U_Color,U_Privates,U_Approved,U_PicturePosts,U_
CoppaUser,U_AdminEmails)
VALUES ('$Login_q','$Displayn_q','$crypt','$Email_q','0','$date','$Status_q','{$theme['sort']}','$Display_q','$View_q','{$t
heme['postsperpage']}','$EReplies_q','$date','$Email_q','$ip_q','$Groups_q','$Title_q','$Color_q','1','$approved','$PicturePosts','$
coppauser','')
";
And replace it with this:
// ----------------------------------
// Insert this user into the database
$query = "
INSERT INTO {$config['tbprefix']}Users (U_LoginName,U_Username,U_Password,U_Email,U_Totalposts,U_Laston,U_Status,U_Sort,U_D
isplay,U_View,U_PostsPer,U_EReplies,U_Registered,U_RegEmail,U_RegIP,U_Groups,U_Title,U_Color,U_Privates,U_Approved,U_PicturePosts,U_
CoppaUser,U_AdminEmails,U_SideBar)
VALUES ('$Login_q','$Displayn_q','$crypt','$Email_q','0','$date','$Status_q','{$theme['sort']}','$Display_q','$View_q','{$t
heme['postsperpage']}','$EReplies_q','$date','$Email_q','$ip_q','$Groups_q','$Title_q','$Color_q','1','$approved','$PicturePosts','$
coppauser','','1')
";
The very last "1" you see there '','1') If you change it to a 2 it will show it on the new users right side of the screen.
