 * HELP! Finally finished website and now notice the site does not display properly
   in IE. The main blog drops down the page and the side bars shift as well. Any
   help fixing this problem is appreciated. [Check out my site.](http://www.norwalkparanormal.org)
   Have searched the forums and tried other suggestions, can’t find one that works.

 * Hi,
 * you seem to have broken something in the original theme (Greyzed), because the
   demo version displays just fine in IE 9. I didn’t check other versions.
    I would
   suggest reuploading the original theme files you might of modified one by one,
   see which one(s) fixes the change(s) that might have broken the theme.
 * Cheers!

 * Similar problem to me
 * On FF all is ok on IE8 I have problems with admin bar on the top that goes around
   for the website
 * And it’s happen with all themes
    So I think it’s not a problem with template 
   but inside code
 * Apreciate your help

 * IE browsers always have problems because Microsoft refuses to abide by international
   web standards. Site and theme developers have to add specific styles for IE in
   order for their work to display correctly in those browsers. That means that 
   a site could be perfectly well coded and show just fine in FF but break in IE.
   
   In your case, NPRS, your theme, Greyzed, displays fine in IE9, so there must 
   be smth you modified/changed that broke the layout. In your case, Grisu, did 
   you make any changes to those other themes you mentioned? Did you try viewing
   your site in IE9 see if it makes a difference? Based on the location of NPRS 
   problem, the issue could be due to a difference in the logo size, but it is really
   difficult to tell for sure. I recommend that you backup your current theme with
   the modifications you made to it, delete it from `wp-content/themes`, and reupload
   the original theme to see if the theme displays the way it is supposed to in 
   IE. If it does, then you know what the issue is, and you simply need to identify
   where the “offending” code is located (as stated above).

 * Tried the theme re-upload, and nothing happened for me either. We did change 
   the layout a little in the beginning so I think this is where I will start. Thanks
   for the suggestions! Will keep you all posted on progress.

 * Another potential cause of the problem could be that the widgets inserted in 
   the sidebar overflow vertically because there is a fixed height set for the sidebar.
   
   Try forcing an auto height for the sidebar element. Look for this code:
 *     ```
       #sidebar
       {
       	padding: 75px 0 10px 28px;
       	background: url('images/sidebar-bg.jpg') top no-repeat;
       	float: left;
       	width: 275px;
       	min-height: 613px;
       	}
       ```
   
 * and try adding the following line between `float` and `width`:
    `height: auto;`
   It could also be a positioning problem. I’ll try to install this theme in one
   of my sites, see what happens, and report back.

 * Ok, so I installed the theme, and it is displaying just fine on both FF 5 and
   IE 9.
    I tried leaving very few posts published and adding a lot of widgets to
   see if I could get the sidebar to overflow. I also added a custom logo as a bgd
   and increased the height of `#header h1`. However, I wasn’t able to replicate
   the issue.
 * Edit: Using 1.0.4 version.
