Do you see the Toggle Sidebar button on the top right, next to the Post New Thread button, try clicking on it and see if it still happens.
As of Now, I'm not having the issue your talking about ....
What Browser are you using ?
Not seeing that here either on Firefox and Win 10. If toggling the sidebar button, located top right, does not work; it maybe time to clear your cache for SatelliteGuys.
I have this same problem and have for years using FF on my very locked-down work computer. I can toggle the sidebar off, but all other pages still have it. This problem does not exist on the work computer I control, nor on my home computer. So I think you have configured FF funny like our over-protective security folks do.
I'm seeing it on my iMac using both Chrome and Safari. I do not see it on my iPad using either browser.
I'm used to it, chrome on my mac and windows 10 work laptop...
I'm using Firefox on Windows 10. I have Malwarebytes Browser Guard and Ghostery ad/tracker blocker installed. I've changed nothing in my settings voluntarily. (Firefox has been updating itself quite a lot lately.)
If I hit the Toggle Sidebar button, it goes away -- until, as I said, I load another page or re-load the page.
I've tried changing themes. Nothing makes the sidebar stay gone, but selecting one with No Sticky Navbar makes the font smaller so that the sidebar is a little more tolerable (but I'd still prefer it to stay gone!)

I cleared the cache, it didn't do anything. It also said I had 0 bytes cached, I'm not sure what that's about, I don't remember disabling caching but who knows, I might have at some point.
Argh! It wasn't doing this this morning on my home FF installation. But now it's doing it to me as well. So, clearing the cache doesn't help?
I usually keep the sidebar active anyway so not an issue for me but just to check I toggled it off. Sure enough, as soon as I reload/load another page, back it comes for me as well. 
Sure enough.
I can toggle it off and it disappears. But not only does that not keep it gone on other pages, just reloading the one I'm on causes it to come back. Bah, humbug!
This never-ending return of the sidebar is driving me crazy. Scott, is there any way to ask about this on the Xenforo website?
I just tried Chrome for the first time with SG. Same sidebar issue.

Nothing has changed in the server or with the software so not sure why it just started doing this. Unless another admin went in and did something.
But with that said it’s a built in part of Xenforo not an add on. So it should just work.
I am busy with family today but I will take a look tomorrow when I am back at my office.

While this is a newer thread, this has actually been going on for some time. This is not new.
It wasn't happening for me using FF until post #10, which was yesterday. It worked as always before, and then it got the disease in the afternoon.
I browse in portrait mode, and the sidebar takes up even more valuable real estate.
I'd say about 1/4.
Ok I am in the office, and on Google Chrome when I click Toggle Sidebar it goes away, however if I change pages it comes back. Same thing happening on Microsoft Edge.
Very odd...
Looking into it.

Yup. You don't even need to change pages; just refresh the one you're on.
