Hi Sean, this is a really wonderful design.
I've tinkered with it a bit for something I may start using and have run into a wee problem.
http://www.planetcga.com/forum
As you can see, I've edited the banner which forced me to make it so the forum is at a fixed width which I've set small enough to be viewable on 1024 x 768 screens without scrolling (and added a side bar for links or feed or somesuch).
So far, so good. Here's the rub:
Viewing the forum in Firefox, it looks fine...BUT...in IE, the top few pixels of the banner are actually placed *below* the "profile login..." line, throwing things off. I've no idea what's causing this. Any idea?
My thanks for any advice and a great template.
