HI,

I thought I had solved my problem ,wanting only one sidebar displayed on my forum page .(instead of the 2 my blog theme has)

Now I notice the changes I made do display properly on Firefox (left sidebar + forum side by side)

However , when I type my site into Internet explorer,

Internet Explorer shows my left sidebar and to the right of it the space is white and blank and only at the bottom of the side bar (page bottom) the actual full width forum is displayed .

So I assume the problem is not with the forum page I made, but with I.E.

How can I fix that ?

Thank you.

O.K.

I have been playing with the php. and changed the forum page to this :(taken from my wp theme page.php)

<?php
    /*
    Template Name: Forum
    */
?>

<?php get_header(); include('lsidebar.php'); ?>
<div id="fullwidth">
<!– BEGIN content –>
<div id="content">
<!– begin post –>
<div class="box"><div class="buffer">
<?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class="content"><?php the_content(); ?></div>
<?php else: ?>
<h2>Not Found</h2>
<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that is not here.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div></div>
<!– end post –>

<!– begin comments –>
<div id="comments">
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<!– END content –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

It is displaying better now .

The left side bar does display and the forum is right beside it . BUt it is not filling in the complete space.

The right side bar is gone (which I want) However the space is just white instead of being taken over by forum area.

My template is set to full width .

Sorry to be coming back with this .

This is the forum.php that displays correctly in Firefox ,but no in I.E.

<?php
    /*
    Template Name: Forum
    */
?>
<?php get_header(); include('lsidebar.php'); ?>

<div id="right">

    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        <div class="entry">
            <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<?php ; get_footer(); ?>

Sorry – we are not ignoring you. I do not have access to IE (as a Mac user) and Steve – with the Windows PC – has been tied up with work and family and isn't able to spend much time on the forum at the moment…
