    The link you provided seems to be working, both in FF and IE, I'm guessing you solved the problem? :p

    Yea sorry I forgot to update the thread. I do have a new problem, however. Well, 2 in fact.

    In firefox the white background is disapearing on the singleposts. Click any headline at:

    http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/index.php?wptheme=OWF+New

    Also, the articles which have comments posted, the sidebar goes to the bottom for some reason... but without comments it's where it should be.

    Wow ok, I'm like at a loss here. lol. There are SO many issues that I don't even know where to begin. First of all, what's the deal with IE and Firefox having completely different layouts? I visit the exact same address and they get different layouts?!

    So I can't compare to see what the problem is exactly. Besides this though, there is an outstanding amount CSS problems that would require some major work to the structure of your code, if you use IE6 to view the site, it's a complete mess.

    Although, for the comments problem, go into your CSS.

    Find wrapper, replace this:
    [B]background-color: white;[/B]
    Code (markup):
    With this:
    [B]background-color: #fff;[/B]
    Code (markup):
    It's best to use the code instead of the word, as some browsers won't understand it. I suggest you use do the same for the rest of the css attributes that use the same type of concept.

    You need to use the exact URL in this thread to view the sites new skin. (which is why it won't work in IE if you are just trying to use it without the ?theme=owf+new)

    How can I test in IE6?

    To be honest this is only my 3rd CSS site so go easy ;)

    Changing the white to the code doesn't seem to have worked as it's still transparent.

    Oh right, the theme. By bad, I completely overlooked that.

    Well if you have IE7 already installed, then I suggest you download IE6 standalone for testing purposes. It's very handy for developing:

    http://browsers.evolt.org/download.php?/ie/32bit/standalone/ie6eolas_nt.zip

    I have to head out, so I will take a look at your code a bit later and see if I can find any other solutions.

    As for the column on the right being pushed to the bottom, I'm guessing you're refering to the Reviews column stuck at the bottom, well if you can't already tell there isn't any room on the side to fit that column since the content is too wide. If you shorten the content area in width, more room will free up on the right and it'll allow you to fit the reviews module there.

    But the weird thing is it works fine when no one has posted a comment on that article... it only skips to the bottom when there is a comment? I tried reducing the size of the content but that made difference. The comments area shouldn't even have a size :|

    OK, hold up... I fixed it. I had mistakingly put it inside the div inside an if statement which wasn't showing when their were comments.

    I have downloaded an IE programme which backlogs to IE3... the site appears to be fine in IE6, are you sure there are problems?

    URL is now http://www.obsessedwithfilm.com/index.php?wptheme=OWFNew

    Besides the problems that we're already solved, it seems to work fine in IE6. The old theme had major issues though, the new one seems fine. ;)
