I've had this idea for some time and I thought I would see if my favourite plugins site could perhaps make it a reality.
Unlike my forum I notice that 90% of MyBB forums have the big spaces at either side, something that is begging to be used.
Now I know Labrocca as developed a side boxes plugin, which is ok but they remain in position so as you go down the page they disappear off the top.
What I was thinking is that it would be a fantastic mod if you could create a floating side bar, that permanently stays on the page as you scroll down the page. So even if you was viewing 100 posts per page, when you got the bottom whatever information was in that side bar was still possible.
Personally I would use it to put in my Nav bar in a vertical format. The other thing that could either be added into this request or seperate is a flashbox / shoutbox type thing. Basically it would be a little box that with be constantly refreshing and popping up with user relevant information such as:
New PMs
Buddies have come online
Forum Announcement made
New high score if you have a games section
If someone pokes you.
I do imagine this would be quite a big undertaking, but then if it was possible it would be really a superb addon / plugin.
