Bug in the Instructables Layout
On my computer, when I am on an Instructable, slideshow, or video the main layout of the Instructables website changes.
The righthand sidebar moves down to below the last comment and makes the page a lot longer. Also the drop down bars at the top are longer because they only allow one link per row.
I don't know if this is just the new layout of the Instructables or if it is just something with my computer. Whatever it is it has just gotten annoying and I had to tell someone. Could someone (Preferably the admins)tell me what's wrong.
EDIT 6/22/08
It is fixed
it has been fixed for weeks so stop giving me useless advice

Which refutes my point how?

At least you make a valid point, rather than resorting to childish name-calling.
Oh wait...

It's probably an internet explorer thing. Use Firefox.

Unfortunately instructables does not work in the latest version of Firefox, which is Firefox 3.

Thanks for this response. You caused me to track the issue down to Firebug. It seems that the problem is actually the combination of Firefox3 and Firebug. It works in Firefox 3 without Firebug, an Firefox 2 with Firebug. Weird!

Yes, Firebug is still a beta release for FF3 and doesn't play nice with our site.

So wait, what is Firebug?

How did you know, stalker? (I know you looked at the printscreen) Does it do that in firefox?
Reply 11 years ago
Nope. Not even now, running Firefox 1.0.4 on a 5 year old Dell Inspiron 4000 on Linux. Firefox will one day take over the world.

Since we're talking about Internet Explorer 7, I thought this would be cool to show.

This is a somewhat common problem we have with IE sometimes. Although the menu pulldown seems strange. I would typically try clearing the cache and reloading the page as a first attempt to fix most layout issues, in FF or IE.
