I posted this on the main forum, but it's probably better posted here:
I'm experiencing an odd and frustrating bug when using Flatforum in IE6. I'm using a theme of my own based on Zen, Drupal 5.1, and Flatforum HEAD. What seems to be happening is that the links div gets repositioned way over to the right in IE6. Looks fine in Firefox, Opera, Safari, and just about everything else. I've gone through the list of typical IE6 CSS rendering bug fixes, but can't seem to make this one go away. There's no issue with it on other nodes, and when I reverted to the stock Drupal forum, the problem went away, thus pointing to something in Flatforum. Anyone experience this and hopefully know what's causing it? It's probably an easy fix, but at this point my head's spinning from researching IE bugs and attempting fixes.
In a perfect world, everyone would stop using IE6, but until then...
Here's a link to a screenshot in IE6/XP:

Fixed it! It's just a manifestation of one of the numerous IE CSS rendering bugs. I kept adding height: 1% "Holly Hacks" to the enclosing divs in the flatforum CSS (.comment .links, .comment-right .content, and .forum-comment) until it finally showed the way it's supposed to in IE6. I think it was .forum-comment that did the trick, but I'm not 100% certain.
I hate IE...
