Hello,
I've got some strange display problems I've spent hours trying to fix and I'm stumped. FYI, I recently upgraded from 4.7 to 5.1 and this problem occurs in both IE and FF. My display problems are with the columns on installed themes only - core themes have no display issues. The two themes I've installed are Amadou and Zen and I've made no modifications to either. Furthermore, the problems occur only on the front page of the site. Admin pages, individual entries, etc. are all fine. With the Zen theme, the right column drops below the content. Pretty self explanatory. With the Amadou theme, the main content and the columns are pushed together and overlap, as shown here.
As I said, I've spent a long time with this and I have no idea what to try next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

any chance you can post a link, so those of us with the webdeveloper addon can manipulate a local copy of the .css file your site is using to help diagnose ?
Sure.
Thanks for the reply. The site is WhirledView.

i think your problem is block or region based.
I have two questions
1) what regions are the blocks set to? in administer -> blocks
2) if the adsense block is turned off does this undesired effect persist ?

1) Right now the regions are set to "sidebar left," but I've tried them at that and "sidebar right." I've enabled blocks in both now so you can see the difference.
2) Yes. I actually just turned off the adsense block, but the problem was there before I even installed that module.
Looks like you're missing
Looks like you're missing some of Amadou's files.
I would suggest checking your install path and also make sure that you've installed all the files that come with the theme(s)
For example, on you're site, the search box at the bottom of the header is missing the background wrapper image. This leads me to think that you're missing some files or your permissions are set incorrectly.
Thanks for your reply. I've
Thanks for your reply. I've installed Amadou three different times, including the official release and the dev version, completely deleting the folder and contents on the server each time. I'm installing in /public_html/sites/all/themes/amadou. Not sure why that image is missing, but I'm pretty sure all the files are there. Just for the heck of it, I installed the same local Amadou files on a separate Drupal install on another server and I do not encounter this problem.

Check out the Drupal
Check out the Drupal Cookbook for new beginners: http://drupal.org/node/120612. Try to install and mess around with some modules, then install some extra modules you'd like and a different theme. After that, try making adjustments to the theme. The best theme to start with is Zen: http://drupal.org/project/zen
I had a similar problem and
I had a similar problem and installing the htmlcorrector module fixed it.
Same problem IE 7 and 8
I'm having the same problem, which I noticed appears when a new YouTube video is posted on the front page.
They've apparently changed some of their embed codes, which is causing IE to misread it and put the right column at the bottom. I know this because it was rendering properly until I went in to edit the YouTube code (to reset the size of the video). Once i did it screwed up the entire node listing, but not those without the changed videos or old videos that weren't changed.
YouTube now inserts a reduced-sized image into the list, like a Facebook link. Before it used to have the full-sized video show up in the node list.
Not sure why this is happening, but once I disabled the two posts from appearing on the front page, the problem ended.
