Any idea on this problem? I've seen this as well.

I've figured out the conditionals, just looking for a solution for the problems encounted with the spacing being all screwy as mentioned here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=34

I'm getting reports from users using IE 5.0 that with this hack the thread display doesn't start until after the bottom of the left column. So as you look down the page, they'll see the header, left column, then have to scroll down to the end of the left column to where the posts etc start.


For example: "I am using IE 5.0, Windoze NT 4.0 and having the same problem. The posts appear below the bottom of the sidebar on the left side of the screen."

Perhaps if the side bar was extended so that it filled up the entire left side, all the way down the bottom. I'm such an HTML idiot I'm not sure how to accomplish this...

I find this very odd considering the hack is 100% XHTML compliant...can anyone else confirm this with IE 5.0?

Perhaps it has something to do with my forum table width (I'm using "100%" for my 'main table width')... Does this need to be a fixed width? Or maybe I need some kind of 'nowrap' statement?

Here are some screenshots:

Update: This only occurs when viewing posts - forum view etc are just fine. May be a postbit issue? Confirmed with 15-20 IE 5.x users so far. Hope I can get this figured out - really need that left column

I would definitely be using this mod if I had the liquid template.
Great job.

Is there a way to make this on the right side? Got it to work fine on the left but need it on the right (and for the life of me I don't know how to install Ant's).

Confirmed on your site with IE 5.0.1 sp2. See screenshot. As you can see the error seems to occur right at the beginning of the postbit.

To test for yourself using IE 5.x, download old browsers here (zip file, runs from folder - won't screw up your current IE)

IE 5.0.1 sp2: http://browsers.evolt.org/download.php?/ie/32bit/5.01_SP2/ie501sp2_nt.zip

IE 5.5 sp2
http://browsers.evolt.org/download.p...ie55sp2_nt.zip


edit: Just spent a bit looking over the html and you're right, nothing in this hack is out of the ordinary. The problem looks like it lies in the VBulletin html - something that doesn't show up when the content table isn't in it's own <td> to the right of the sidebar... Too bad, I really need to get in an advert on the left side
