I've had that happen in Firefox the one day I used it. Never in IE.

I've never had that happen with IE, but I've heard of it happening with Firefox. Seems to be related to how Firefox handles iframes (The shoutbox).

I don't know of a way to fix it, short of telling you to always use IE because firefox is still buggy and doesn't always parse pages the same way.

i did that little speed up firefox tweak and it doesnt happen that much anymore. 75%+ of the time it loads like its supposed to look.

Is the iframe width a percentage or pixel value?

I've had that happen once and reloading didn't help. I had assumed someone posted something that stretched one of those panels.

As for recommending people use Internet Explorer because Firefox is buggy, is that really such a good idea? I would think half the time FF doesn't show pages the way IE does is because IE uses non-standard coding methods, and the page was coded for those IE-specific methods.
