Although I prefer side/navigation bars/frames on the left side, I noticed that only 1 of the 6 or 7 major boards that I visit even have these sidebars in their forum (and the only 1 I did find was on the left side). So, I'd say that its more ideal to have it somewhere else altogether, like on home page. The essential forum navigation links (Search, Memberlist, etc) should be in the header.
