Hey,
I'm trying to get something sorted, it's not too big but still it's annoying and really should happen.

In Firefox the forum displays 100% fine, but when I open the site in IE, well have a look:

Is this the theme or is it something else?

Thanks!

Yep I'd say something in the theme - which one are you using? Can you post a live link?

Here is a link to the page for Pixture (the theme I am using) it does say it works well with IE and has been tested...

HI

Nexus from the screenshot its look like you are using advance forum if i'm not mistaken. so the problem is with the advance forum css which you need to change depending on your theme.

Again this is only a guess, if you can provide little more detail which theme you are using or you have created a custom template page for forum.

This is the theme I am using, I am also using the default template for the forum.

Definitely a CSS problem.

Try adding 'position: relative;' to the container which holds the forum, and set a fixed width to see if that helps.

I would try it but where would I put it?

I know how to use Drupal but I don't know which file I would have to edit to change anything.

Thanks!

There will probably be a style.css (or something.css) in the theme folder. Also if you are using Advanced Forum, that has it's own css files in a subfolder of your theme folder.

If you're not so familiar with CSS, you might be better off posting a link to your live site here and we can take a look directly?

There you go, that goes to the forum if you access any of the threads under any category using IE it messes up.

This is probably out of date now...

I had a problem with advanced forum under Drupal 5.12 where the forum was underlapping the right column.

I fixed it by adjusting the #forum width to 95% in the CSS file.
