    Yeah that link was not right. Try this one…http://yeahshesaidit.com/

    I can’t believe I overlooked the 4th w. Late night coding I guess. I’ll have a look now.

    As it looks, somethign might be pushing everything out of whack. Did you add a new sidebar or add anyhthing to your site? New plugin perhaps? Changed a widget?

    If you haven’t touched anyhting, try a css reset? Place this at the beginning of our stylesheet. or you can add a @ import url(reset.css) to keep your main stylesheet clean.

    You asked did i add anything? Well i did play with some plugins and widgets recently. i also turned them off to see if that would help. It is weird becuase it just stopped working in internet explorer. Which makes me think it is something small.

    Hmm still looks off.

    Could you try setting percentages for your content and sidebar. If I remember corretly IE works better of off percentages.

    #content {width:64%;}
    #sidebar {width:34%;}

    Which is what your current css is set to. You may try making them add up to 100%

    Or keep the pixel method.

    #content {width:640px;}
    #sidebar {width:360px;}

    Um second though… might be a margin also pushing it out. I’ll chekc later once I get the little one to sleep.

    The thing is that this guy designed my site and when he did it, it showed fine in I.E. I had to have did something but have no idea what I tinkered with for it to just look crazy like that i I.E. It only seems to be affecting my sidebar the most.

    I never touched anything with the percentages though. I would have remembered that.

    And it is just internet explorer that it is doing this in. No other browsers. Which is weird like i said because it used to show fine on every browser and then it just stopped.

    Try increasing your content width a little just to see if it is getting pushed out by a widget in your sidebar. I really wish IE would fix these issues. Maybe IE9 will work.

    I was suggesting to maybe tweak those values before, as IE likes % (If I remember correctly)

    #container {width:1000px;} /*Try increasing this value a little 10px at a time maybe?*/

    Try encoding your pages as “UTF-8 WITHOUT BOM”. I encountered this issue with phpbb3. I use Notepade++ (Encoding>Encode UTF-8 without BOM> Save & upload)

    And this values in your style `* {
    border: 0 none;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    outline: medium none;
    padding: 0;
    }` Is made for IE browsers.

    Try adding this perhaps… * #container {width:1010px;}

    Try removing the (I’m assuming is a text widget) with the one with the two tall vertical images next to each other, and see if that works. If they are advertisers links then you will ahve to adjust your sidebar width to make it work. Increase your #container and #sidebar up by 10px each.

    I dont understand why it all of a sudden stopped working in I.E. It has been working fine in all browsers until recently.

    Thread Starter ljknight1229

    (@ljknight1229)

    I already tried removing the widgets. That did not work. I also tried adjusting the plug ins.

    The thing is that I dont think i need to adjust anything because it was literally just working a few days ago in all browsers. It had to have been something i did but have no idea what. I have went back to all of my recent posts to see if i added something i shouldnt have. Any other suggestions?

    do you have any page templates that you could apply to some sample pages to rule out your index.php, page.php and single.php?
