    admin --> tools --> Layout Boxes Controller --> sideboxes/categories.php

    you can set it on or off there and also if its on the rt or lt side.

    if you are using a template like purpleshades when you switch to it, it turns off the boxes.

    Looks like you broke the left column ...

    Switch to Classic ... does it come back? If so, then your template did it ... if not, then you have the Left Column off in the Layout Settings ... or all the sideboxes are turned off in the Layout Boxes Controller ...
