Everyday I come here and the site is pushed down to the bottem of the page because of extra long post titles being crammed into the "new forum topics sidebar", it seems this happens very often. Im not complaining just wondering if your aware of the problem and Id think it look better if it was fixed. This happens in ie6 at a screen resolution of 1280x1024 when the browser is resized to any size but full screen.
maybe changing your style.css from

Quote:

#sidebar-right .block {
padding-bottom: 10px;

}

and add overflow in it might look nicer

Quote:

#sidebar-right .block {
padding-bottom: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
}

cheers.

That change made no difference as far as we could tell. 1280x1024 in ie6 on win2k3, long forum topic title, broken with or without. as mindless put it, "there's no overflow to hide when the box expands to fit that text"

First tho, I had to find a computer with IE on it. Not many of us around here use IE and its bugs like that which make a lot of people refuse to use IE.

I'm willing to test any other solution you have for this problem, but we have some very capable CSS designers and that it is still broken in IE should be a sign

err.. maybe its just that none of us use IE. We think it's fixed by adding a static width do the right block as well as the overflow:hidden, given that the right sidebar had a static width already.. stupid IE (yay mindless)

ya I use both ie and firefox it seems that ie is still more popular and still very frustrating (tranparent images drive me insane) thought overflow hidden isnt really a solution at least it will look better, I dont know css very well but I read that ie even has some wierd css called "word-wrap: break-word;" that might work in this situation but it doesnt validate and is proprietary, go figure. Anyhow just wanted to let you guys know since was happening often, or maybe was just a bad week, cheers.
