Bite me, the sequel

I've implemented some of the changes suggested, I've also done away with
the layout pixel values in the stylesheet that were impeding text
zooming in Moz and IE.

A re-test on zooming issues and layout soundness please:

Ouch - Horizontal scroll bars even at 1024x768.

Really? Where? Oh, I see. In IE6 the scroll never goes away... in Opera
it's fine even at 800 wide. But in IE that little red riceburner is way
off the right side of the viewport at any resolution I can do.

You are running the browser in quirks mode, because of the lack of a URL in
the doctype.

In quirks mode IE6 reproduces most of the bugs in IE5.x, one of them being
the broken box model. It thinks the margins are part of the box width so
that grey box containing the riceburner is some number of ems (whatever the
left margin is) plus 100%.

Either run IE6 in standards mode or use one of the many hacks to work around
the bug.

Cheers
Richard.

How do you set IE to run in quirks or standard mode?

This is a myth:

It's probably caused by having to add a workaround for IE5.5.

I've added a css hack to counter IE6 slipping up and still provide the
IE5.5 workaround, I only have IE5.5 here, could you check if it's fixed
for IE6 now?

It's fine now in IE6 :~)

I'm looking forward to seeing your message-board operational.
