DIV's rendering incorrectly in IE vs Firefox/Chrome

Hello, I have done some research and thought that my problems might be
due to the box glitch, however I think there might be more going on
here. It appears as though the padding and margin are both contributing
to the factors that IE doubles the whitespace on my new forum CSS
design. What's odd is that the border properties are following the
standard heights. I originally thought the floats were incorrectly
displaying, however this does not appear to be the case. I have
validated the entire website through W3C, and unfortunately it refuses
to reveal any signs of my failure in CSS. My website and code can be
viewed at:

I have designed this around Firefox/Google Chrome/Safari, and
unfortunately didn't realize until it was already sketched that it
didn't function properly in IE. I currently have IE 7.0.57. Thanks for
any help you are able to provide!

Designing it "around Firefox/Google Chrome/Safari" surely does not mean
not seeing what happens on these browsers when user text size is
enlarged. Take a look for yourself, enlarge the text size through View
menu item (*just* text size, not zoom like enlarging page-as-pic).

Looks like tabular data to me - the column headings are a dead
give-away. Use a table.

Thanks everyone for their help and input. Yes I recognize that it
doesn't scale appropriately when text size is increased, partly due to
my laziness when I was simply sketching the site out, partly because I
wasn't paying attention to it (even though it's one of those big 10 to
pay attention to when designing a site).

Again, thanks everyone. I was considering going tabular to begin
with, however I wanted to avoid it if I could... but I suppose what's
the point of having tables if you don't use them.

Well, that's better then innumerable class definitions.

I can't tell weather you did that on purpose or not...

That was my (poor) joke. I was talking about than/then as I love that
the corrector often needs correcting.

I guess I should have added a "" or perhaps put weather in quotation
marks...
