    Please take a quick look at this page. Both in Firefox and IE.

    As you can see Firefox can handle long titles while IE screws up the formatting (not surprised).

    I am using a <ul> and <li> tags and css to position the thumbnails.

    the most stable layout across all platforms always is easiest to achieve using tables - you may seldom or never see a top 100 web site using any "fancy" method but most likely all of the global top sites use simple and solid methods.

    may be you review your pages and see if you could achieve same using tables

    also

    if you wish clean display in current method you really need to validate your code
    as long as start and or end tags missing - you always will have different error handling by different browsers ir browser versions.

    see
    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.myvidster.com/dev.html
    your error
    Line 198, Column 52: document type does not allow element "DIV" here; assuming missing "LI" start-tag.
