    Hi All, I am having a problem locating the source of the following problem. It seems that IE is behaving ok whereas Firefox is messing up the right sidebar. My page is at http://www.poorangus.com - Any suggestions?

    Much appreciated,
    Ross G

    FF 1.5.0.7 here and the sidebar is OK.
    However, having a 800KB "thumbnail" pic and another one of 600KB on the front page... well, it's insane.

    Hi and thanks for the reply. I'm using 1.5.0.7 also - do you notice that the dashed lines on the top and bottom of the sidebar overlap with the main posts column? Agreed, the "thumnails" are insane... will fix.

    I didn't notice because you didn't ask about it :)
    "Messing up" usually tells nothing.
    Did you modify the original stylesheet? Margins, width?

    I did modify the original stylesheet. I made the overall page width larger by 90px and tried to adjust the widecolumn and narrowcolumn parameters to reflect this change. Here is what I have done:

    .narrowcolumn {
    float: left;
    padding: 0px 55px 20px 45px;
    margin: 0px 0 0;
    width: 514px;
    }

    .widecolumn {
    padding: 10px 0px 20px 0px;
    margin: 5px 0 0 0px;
    width: 336px;
    }

    I must say, nothing seems to bring that sidebar over to the right in Firefox.

    i think your problem lies in the fact that you have your search info surrounded by <li> tags...try removing that and see if that helps....

    Edit i misread what you typed...i thought you were trying to line up the search button...you can ignore what i've typed...
