    Using default theme I have put in the line
    <?php get_sidebar();?> in page.php to display sidebar on the comment page, and changed the line from widecolumn to narrow column, only half the sidebar appears how can I get the whole thing?

    You should modify single.php
    I have explained the process here.

    check your sidebat.php file to make sure you dont close any div's too early. This sounds like a problem with your code... Does it validate?

    The sidbar.php file is fine, on other pages it loads fully it's just on the comment page (single.php) it only loads part way, it brings in one category list and stops there. Not sure what is wrong, if it loads fully on other pages is it possible that I need to put in get_links even though sidebar already has that code in it?

    Using the default theme. The background color on sidebar is not showing on the comment page, the same line of code is at the bottom of page.php and it works fine, with the shaded background and the full sidebar display.

    No, I wish I could but it is an intranet company site, if I get permission I will leave a note with the ID and password.

    I don't know what to do at this point. Since the sidebar is only half appearing I took that out and put in the line to get_link_lists that works okay but the font needs adjusting because it is so large that one of the links listed runs off the page, it doesn't do this when it's displayed as the sidebar. Anyone have any ideas about this mess?
