browser problems?

Pam writes to say that when she looks at this weblog, there's some wackiness going on. The sidebar shows up below the main body.

Is anyone else having that problem? And if so, could you please leave a comment telling me what browser/operating system you're using?

thanks.
UPDATE: why didn't any of you mopes mention this to me before? Sheesh. I bet you let men walk around with their zippers down, too, and then giggle about not telling them.

If you click on this thumbnail you'll see what the page is supposed to look like. I've got no idea what's up with IE (you know, Firefox really is a great browser, you'd be so much better off...) but I put in a help ticket. Stayed tuned.

The sidebar is on the side for me, but right down the bottom underneath all the posts. I am using IE!

The side bar appears on the side, but far from the header/title, below the body of the post. I'm using IE.

Yes, it's that way for me too. I thought it was just part of the redesign! I'm using IE 6.0.

4. Erin spoke up on June 12, 2006 7:26 AM and said:

Same for me. I'm also using Internet Explorer 6.0.

5. Leslie spoke up on June 12, 2006 7:34 AM and said:

Same here!

It works fine for me but I use Firefox 1.5.0.4

7. Katie spoke up on June 12, 2006 8:12 AM and said:

The sidebar is below for me, and I use internet explorer.

8. Pam spoke up on June 12, 2006 8:13 AM and said:

Yeah, mine is IE. It's something I can live with, although I forgot to mention that when leaving a comment, the comment box isn't entirely visible (margins seem too thin for the comment, name, email address and URL boxes).

9. Kristina Lynn spoke up on June 12, 2006 8:23 AM and said:

I have been seeing it like that for almost two months. I also use Internet Explorer. I am haveing margin problems just like Pam.

10. Jennifer spoke up on June 12, 2006 10:05 AM and said:

I also see the side bar at the bottom of your page, and I use I.E. 6.0 as well.

11. Elissa spoke up on June 12, 2006 10:33 AM and said:

I use IE 6.0 and the side bar is all the way to the bottom and the comment box doesn't show completely. Also, at the top of the page where you have the the title of your weblog and all the titles of your books, the list of books is cut off in the middle. It looks like this:
al
Rosina
Home
Tied to the T
and writ
Sara
Into the Wild
Dawn on a Distant
Lake in the
Fire along th
Queen of S

Hope this helps!

Same as most people - side bar is at the side but way at the bottom, after all of the posts. IE, not sure which version.

13. Rachel spoke up on June 12, 2006 12:04 PM and said:

Yep, using Internet explorer. Margin has been off for quite some time actually. No big deal though :)

14. asdfg spoke up on June 12, 2006 12:17 PM and said:

Same for me as MARG. I use Internet Explorer. Also, when entering comments (such as right now) the whole of the comments within the box jump left as I get to the right of the line. I can drag back to the left, but any typos I claim are because I'm disconcerted with the jumping words.

15. Teresa spoke up on June 12, 2006 1:12 PM and said:

We use Firefox at home, so I assume all is well, but the IE is on my computer at work and I have no control over what software or browser they install (and if I mentioned it to them, they might frown upon the fact that I'm using my computer for personal browsing of blogs, so we'll just keep mum about that one). Unless the font is suddenly changed to wingdings, I don't worry about it too much. I can scroll down with the best of 'em.

16. Tracy spoke up on June 12, 2006 2:03 PM and said:

Just wanted to let you know that here in the Mac world of OS 10.3.9 and 10.4.6 in Safari and Firefox, all's well and beautiful.

17. sGreer spoke up on June 12, 2006 2:19 PM and said:

I use Safari, and it looks just like the screenshot you posted.

18. Mavis spoke up on June 12, 2006 2:30 PM and said:

I use IE (also, ahem, at work), and in the last few days the comments have come up as gibberish. The sidebar is at the bottom too, but that is the least of the problems.

19. Mavis spoke up on June 12, 2006 2:33 PM and said:

In fact, now all of your posts except the current one are coming up as gibberish.

20. Rosina Lippi spoke up on June 12, 2006 2:38 PM and said:

Mavis -- the font looks okay, but the words are gibberish? Could you give me more detail, please?

thanks

I use FireFox at work and IE at home - and I never realized that your page was messed up only when I was at home. I always assumed that you were updating the page, and would fix it soon. big duh on my part.

22. Sheena Walsh spoke up on June 12, 2006 4:29 PM and said:

Sorry, your page has been doing that since about when you changed the design to include the figure in pink pyjamas - as with others I thought it was the new design...I use Internet Explorer.

23. mary spoke up on June 12, 2006 4:53 PM and said:

All hail Macs and Safari. Never use Internet Exploder...

24. Pam spoke up on June 12, 2006 5:24 PM and said:

Proof positive that it's substance, not format that matters.

25. laurie spoke up on June 12, 2006 6:22 PM and said:

im using IE, same as everyone else using it the sidebar is below and the banner is cut off.....my duh thought it was the way you wanted it to be :)

26. Bruce MCcorrister spoke up on June 12, 2006 6:36 PM and said:

ummm...so I should run out and buy a Mac then? Cause I don't think I could go on...with the knowlage that I'm not getting...oh thats not a good word ta misspell...the WHOLE picture! Whoever said content was more important was on the money.(..and its like lilac or pink colors anyways so I'm already mentally blocking anyways)

27. Keziah Hill spoke up on June 12, 2006 7:42 PM and said:

Same as the others. I use IE (drat that Bill Gates) and have the same problems. I also thouhgt it was a formating problem you were fixing. We're so polite aren't we?

28. robyn spoke up on June 12, 2006 8:21 PM and said:

Netscape handles it very nicely [g]

29. Jennifer spoke up on June 12, 2006 9:47 PM and said:

I use EI as well and have the same issues as the other peopke stated. I am new to the forum and thought that was the way you wanted it. :)

30. Kristina Lynn spoke up on June 12, 2006 9:54 PM and said:

LOL. I thought it was my pc. (Not computer savvy) Anyways, once I start reading your blogs I dont care what is where, I just want to read!

31. Meredith spoke up on June 13, 2006 2:25 AM and said:

I use IE 6 on XP and it doesn't relocate things, it just truncates the page in line with the N on the Storytelling banner. It works fine on Firefox at home, so I just assumed it was a cacky setting on the pcs at work.

32. Peta spoke up on June 13, 2006 3:34 AM and said:

Sidebar on bottom of posts and to the right. Don't see any header banner, just a blank space with a broken black line all theway around. I'm using Win XP and IE6

33. jmc spoke up on June 13, 2006 4:44 AM and said:

I didn't mention the problem earlier because I knew it was an IE problem. I have the same problem with several blogs...but since I am checking from work (before the day gets started) and I have no control over the browser and am not permitted to download software, it wasn't worth complaining about....

I'm now using firefox and your blog looks way better!
