So it looks like I was finally able to get the sidebar to display properly by using the original code for displaying dynamic sidebars.

<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Page Sidebar')): endif; ?>

Once I used this, then the homepage sidebar stopped displaying and the forum-specific sidebar showed up(which I only need to allow people to login).

What do you think, Robin?

And thanks for the help!
