Great theme ..... love it!
However, have a problem with the IE6 overflow auto hack to show both sidebars. I have version 1.2 at the moment with the ie.css hack but it is not working. I have made sure that the block content is within the block width but to no avail. I have also checked the hack in version 1.3 and it looks the same.
Can you suggest anything else to look at?
Many thanks.

If anyone is having the same sort of issues, i have worked out what needs to be added to the ie6.css file:
#content,
#navbar,
#sidebar-left,
#sidebar-right,
#sidebar-left-inner,
.two-sidebars #right-container,
.sidebar-left #right-container,
.sidebar-right #right-container,
.sidebar-right #sidebar-right
{
_display: inline; /* display inline or double your floated margin! [1] */
_overflow: hidden; /* in ie6, overflow auto is broken [2] and so is overflow visible [3] */
_overflow-y: visible;
}
Hope this helps anyone else with the same issue.

Thx for this post Perfectmatch!
I had the same problem when using this theme for upgrading my website.
When pasting your bold snippet into ie.css, at first I only got back the left column.
After some experimenting, to make it work, it turned out that you also HAVE to insert the comma at the end of the line:
#sidebar-right,
Relatively new to drupal.org. Suggest this hack is included in a new recommended revision of ad_the_morning_after theme.
Thanks again and good luck everybody.
