I noticed the advanced forums were displaying incorrectly in Internet Explorer 6 and decided to look into it.
It seems all that was required was a slight change to the advanced-forum-structure.css file in the advforum directory in your theme directory.
1. Locate the "****Begin Forum Topic*****" section.
2. Find this:
.forum-post-wrapper {
min-height: 24em;
border-top: thin solid black;
border-bottom: thin solid black;
}
3. Change it to:
.forum-post-wrapper {
min-height: 24em;
height:auto !important;
height:24em;
border-top: thin solid black;
border-bottom: thin solid black;
}
That's it. It should fix a bug in how ie6 handles (or doesn't handle) min-height.
I've tested this in Firfox, Opera, and IE6 but I don't have access to IE7.
Hope this helps anyone else who ran into this issue.

Alpha 1 works nicely in IE 6 thanks to eigentor.

The error has appeared in version 6 too (pushbutton theme).
However, the suggested patch shows the missing info, but stretches the width of the body frame and so it's not usable.
#4
Oddly the problem is that in ie6 the background of .forum-post-wrapper (set in advanced_forum.css) covers the contents of .forum-comment-left.
By removing it the problem is solved, but anyway it's only a workaround, not a solution.

It's fine in IE 6 in garland. If there's a problem in other themes, patches are welcome.

the problem is a typo in alpha 8:
.forum-post-wrapper {background: url(images/forum-separater.jpg) repeat-y;
border-top: 1px solid #2587C4;
border-bottom: none;
height: %1;
}
should be:
height: 1%;#7
