</if>
<!-- / close content container -->

What this does is output three </div> tags if the browser is new (ie 6) or three </td></tr></table> tags if the browser is OLD (ie 5.x)

Now, in the SHOW THREAD template there appears to be an extra call for the $spacer_close at the end of the thread tools table. In IE 6 this doesn't cause any bugs because three </div> tags won't screw up anything. HOWEVER, in IE5, the </tr></td></table> tags will screw up the output - it closes the table and sends the post content to the bottom of the sidebar.

SO, here's the fix:

In SHOWTHREAD template, find:

<!-- / toolbar -->

<!-- end content table -->
$spacer_close
<!-- / end content table -->

and delete the $spacer_close text

This method did not work for me and I am using magnus's AdColumns v1.0 hack, which he used this HTML to make work. In fact, I get the same problem with the "squeezing" of the thread when I do this code, even before I activate the AdColumn. Are there any other ideas out there? The changing the one StyleVar to auto does not work either.
