Re: IE Page Problem
Update:
As your probably getting sick of hearing from me, I apologize.

Because only some of us seem to have this problem I wanted to see if the theme would work on my personal blog. So I uploaded it and surprisingly the pages DID work in IE7. I don't know why, but it did.

I think I'm going to try and start from scratch again. Delete WP, and the database and giver one more fresh install.

So where should we put the "position: relative"?

Also just wanted to say I have reverted back to the old .css files so only the originals where there. Still had the same problem.

This is becoming frustrating because I don't understand why this problem only occurs for 1 or 2 people.

I'm sure there are more people with this problem but not everyone comes on forums to find solutions!!

Chin up thebushman we'll find a solution, somehow!

Ah I figured it out, it goes inside the .css file you're using for your site, so in my case it was blue.css and you put it

.main { border: solid 20px #EEEEEE; position: relative; }

Problem solved, for me at least, let us know if this works for you too thebushman

Thanks dcowgill you've done it again! I really do appreciate all the support you give to me and to others on this forum and the work you put in to improve an already great theme.

Thanks for the help LoveTowers and David that seemed to fix the problem.

I'm now have an issue with sub-categories going behind the listed ads, but I will search the forum before I get into it.

Re: IE Page Problem
Opps looks like leaving it as just

.main { border: solid 20px #EEEEEE; position: relative; }

causes problems in IE 5.5 and 6. To solve it you need to add the width as dcowgill said, so it should look like this

.main { border: solid 20px #EEEEEE; position: relative; width: 980px; }

Aw, finally I found the fix for this in the forums here; however, I do think it should be 940px instead of 980px correct me if I am wrong, but 980px makes the body wider than the footer.

Thanks,
