FF and IE7 showing up differently all of sudden

[sp250]

I messed around with postbit_legacy template to reduce the width of the left column (avatar, etc) and when I reduce the size, it did not have any effect on FF but it did have an effect on IE7. I did change it back to default but IE7 is messed up. There is a gap between both sides and the forum is centered on FF but it is shifted to the left on IE7. This shifting only shows when viewing a thread. Browsing through forum on IE7 shows up fine. Here are the photos. First photo is FF and second photo is IE7.

Here is the code.

$template_hook[postbit_start]
<table id="post$post[postid]" class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<if condition="$show['announcement']">
<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" colspan="2">
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/post_$post[statusicon].gif" alt="$post[statustitle]" border="0" />
<phrase 1="$post[startdate]" 2="$post[enddate]">$vbphrase[x_until_y]</phrase>
</td>
<else />
<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-$stylevar[right]: 0px" $post[scrolltothis]>
<!-- status icon and date -->
<a name="post$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/post_$post[statusicon].gif" alt="$post[statustitle]" border="0" /></a>
$post[postdate]<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">, $post[posttime]</if>
$post[firstnewinsert]
<!-- / status icon and date -->
</td>
<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-$stylevar[left]: 0px" align="$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&amp;postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new" rel="nofollow" id="postcount$post[postid]" name="$post[postcount]"><strong>$post[postcount]</strong></a></if>
<if condition="$show['inlinemod']">
<input type="checkbox" name="plist[$postid]" id="plist_$postid" style="vertical-align:middle; padding:0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 5px" value="$post[checkbox_value]" />
</if>
</td>
</if>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt1" width="170" style="background-image: url(/images/gradients/pb_back.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x;">

Copy and backup the template and then revert it to default and see if the problem is still there..

if you changed it back and that is only then you did then you might be pulling IE cache. .delete temporary internet files and close browser and open back up and see if fine ...if good then that was it ..if not them i would rever to template default

I cleared the cache, I reverted and I still get the problem on IE7. I did however find out when opening a thread, this problem only occurs when opening a post from "LAST POST" section on the forum home page. For example, if user were to go to FORUM > SUB FORUM > THREAD > POST, then it shows up fine in IE7. It's only when user clicks on the post from "LAST POST" section on the forum home page.

update:

I found out that this problem appears when accessing the thread from LAST POST section, which has the extension of "showthread.php?p=10#post10" instead of "showthread.php?p=10" in IE7. Any ideas?

Firefox 3.5 seems to handle Javascript differently compared to 3.0x could be that
