Making the menu affix

The affix plugin is present only in version 3 of Bootstrap (it was removed in version 4), and it aims to toggle the position of an element between fixed and relative, emulating the effect of position: sticky, which is not present in all browsers.

We will apply the sticky effect the left #profile element although we do not have enough elements to make a scroll on our web page. Therefore, to make it simple, replicate the <li> in ul#feed to increase the number of items in the list. Do this three times or more to make a scroll in your web browser.

In div#profile, add the markup related to affix:

<div id="profile" class="col-md-3 hidden-sm hidden-xs" data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="0">
    …
    // rest of the profile HTML
</div>
