Topic: Forum width problems in IE

I really love how PunBB works, and it looks fabulous in Safari and Firefox. However, I'm having an extreme degree of issues with it in Internet Explorer. For some reason the forums are extremely thin in several versions of IE, including 8. I'm sure this has something to do with my modifications, but I'm at a loss as to what to do. The problem occurs only on the forum index pages for some versions of IE, and on all the pages for others. The problem also changes widths depending on browser version: in some, it's really thin, in others, it's just thinner than it should be but still functional. Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Sorry. I must be a total space case this morning.

Since the login system and the forum are integrated, I'd really like to not have to switch forums.

Re: Forum width problems in IE

It's displaying in quirks mode. Best course of action would be to sort the basic problems out first and then see if the problem persists. Whilst those other errors are present however, you'll be fighting a losing battle trying to sort any other problems.
