Use Firefox, that’s how I over came this problem. IE SUCKS

The problem I have under Firefox 2.0.0.19 on Linux is that the comment editing box is wider than the center column, so the text I’m typing goes *under* the right-hand column and isn’t visible. The *cursor* is visible, but not the text.

This seems to be similar to what Mariner is experiencing…

I don’t have the bookmarks tab displayed.

At work it’s every time.

It’s probably a broken table tag somewhere. IE displays HTML as it’s written, FireFox takes liberties and attempts to “fix” mis-typed or broken tags. I’m not bored enough to go digging.

The slight justified right problem only came about after Christmas, something changed between the 24th and the 29th.

Me and MR. UNCLE went around and around about this problem a few months back!I changed to IE7 becuase the google people recommended it…It fixed the “SAY UNCLE “problem!

So it’s an every time thing. Ok, that gives me more to look at.

I have ie7 at work (where I am now) and ie6 at home. IE6 will scrunch everything up until scroll over a link, like the “Website Issues” topic. It will then jump to the correct display and I can see everything normally.

Anytime I hit back or reload the main page it will mess up again, until I scroll over a link.

Do those folks with right-side compression problems have their Bookmarks (Firefox) displayed? If so, just minimize the bookmarks and everything is hunky-dory.

I use Opera 9.52 for Linux, and the page generally displays well.

Comment text does not wrap to the window width, which means I can’t see what I’m writing on the right until I post the comment.

For those of you using IE6 (WHY???? …but I digress), is it every time or only here and there. I don’t have an 8-Track handy to load IE6 or I’d try it myself.

I’m trying to figure out where the “oops” is coming from and if it’s every time or just occasionally.

Thanks

I tend to agree, firefox 3 loads fast and displays -what I assume to be- perfect.

It is an IE6 issue for me as well. FF works fine.

Hmmm, maybe i annoyed the pope.

Similar to Red, I’ve been having loading your site at all for the past few days.

It started the day of the pope post.

Thanks all. So far, it seems to be an Internet Explorer 6 problem.

On a somewhat unrelated note, it’s only a 25% chance or so that your page will even come up on my Comcast connection. Maybe the Comcast Truth Squad is on to you…

I have same setup as Paul B (IE6/XP) at work and second both his comments – have to click comments for each of your posts to read the post itself. Don’t recall having this problem with Firefox/Vista at home.

The page displayes correctly as long as my cursor isn’t pointed at the top right or left corners of the header on the webpage. Everything scrunches to the right. If I move my cursor to the center of the page, the page displays correctly. How weird. Maybe your header image is causing the difficulty.

Put on Fire Fox and the site appears correctly.

The tool bar on the right of the top part of the page seems to cover the center content until you get below the tool bar on the right and then you can see the missing text.

When you go into the item via comments it will display correctly.

Win xp with IE 6.

I get the weird crunch to the right on my work PC but not on my home PC, XP Pro at work, XP Media Center at home, IE6 at work, IE6, IE7, and Firefox whatever (folks that tell you Firefox is a better browser obviously don’t browse enough).

At work, it’ll correct it self most of the time if I mouse onto your upper right side bar.

Today, even “fixed” the main column is still justified under the right column.

Firefox 3 on Win/XP Pro. No problems.

Dunno what the heck they’re using, but you format correctly here in Safari on Mac OS 10.4, IE6 on XP, and IE7 over Vista.
