I tried several things to get it to break and couldn't.

If y'all do run into problems, the Browser Name & Version would be greatly appreciated.

You look fine to me in IE 6.0 at 1024*768, though I am losing a small amount of border between the center panel and the right hand panel -- I'm not getting the grey-black-white piping. But it doesn't interfere with my reading pleasure.

No problems here. Netscape 7.1

It was fine on my home computer this weekend - Firefox 1.0.5 and here at work - IE 6.0.

I've noticed this problem when only part of the page is loaded into the browser. It clears up once the page is fully loaded. The CSS has to wait until the appropriate is fully downloaded before formatting and putting it in the correct spot.

There could have been a timeout situation in the user's browser that stopped its loading before the entire page was downloaded (due to a slow connection?.)

Do a "wget http://llamabutchers.mu.nu" from the UNIX command line into an empty directory ,then a "du" inside said directory. That should give you an idea of the *real* total size of your front door--graphics, html, css, javascript and all.

It could also have been that the user was still on an ancient browser that didn't support CSS 2, or one that didn't render elements to W3C standard. Your user-agent statistics should tell you whether that's an issue or not.

I forgot to mention that I've never had any problems with your site and I use Safari.

I also forgot to mention that I have problems on my company's intranet, which I maintain, when the CSS download craps out. Then the 's have no idea where they're supposed to go.

MT isn't converting my <div> that I'm typing into the textarea. In the posts above, if you see a word missing, it's supposed to a <div>.
