Sidebar-- Slowing Board Down Mega Big Time

Alright, what can I do to make my board load faster? Ever since I installed the sidebar-- complete with images and text--my board has been very slow. There is a lag in typing (i.e. push a key and it takes 3 seconds to show up on the post), and scrolling...

I have noticed that the slowness is mainly on the reply page, so I am thinking that I should somehow, someway get rid of the sidebar on the reply pages. Is there a way to do this? I have read some information, but it is *very* confusing.

All help would be appreciated!

Here is a link to my board; it's MBA, so submit an app., and I or the other Admins will approve it ASAP:

TIA!

Re: Sidebar-- Slowing Board Down Mega Big Time

custom html
1st text box from the top

replace this...

 <style type="text/css">
div#sidebar { position: absolute; left: 14px; top: 20px }
body {margin-left: 170px; margin-top:0px; }
</style>

with this...

 
<script type="text/javascript">
/* MAIN PAGE-SPECIFIC HTML */
if (ezIsBoard == true) {
             document.write("<style type=\"text/css\">\n");
             document.write("div#sidebar { position: absolute; left: 14px; top: 20px } \n");
             document.write("body {margin-left: 170px; margin-top:0px; } \n");
             document.write("</style>");
}
/* END MAIN PAGE-SPECIFIC HTML */
</script>

Thanks, Nutrocker!

One more question:
If I want to JUST add the sidebar to the Chrish.... forum, will it make my board slow again? Do I have to deal with slowness only if the sidebar is in that particular forum (Chris...)?

Thanks!

Also, if it won't slow down the board and would be harmless, could I get the code for that?

Thank you so very much!!

Oops, I just noticed that the sidebar is at the bottom of the pages...

Is that right?
