is there a way to have the split menu appear on the left side- sidebar A when i have a three column layout- but there is nothing in Sidebar B? anytime i have it set to sidebar A, on the pages where sidebar B is empty, the split menu switches to the right hand side of the main content area... how can i keep it on the left side of the main area even when the right hand side module position is empty?
If I understand you right you have to configure the layout for that case (2) ... to a sb-a ::: mb setting instead of mb ::: sb-a wich you probably have now ...
