Hope me, Admin! Is the comment field too far right for anyone else today?[More:]
The right side of the comment field is getting cut off underneath another div, and it looks like there's a bunch of extra space on its left side. I can fix this by maximizing the screen, but ugh.
Helpful Paint screenshot (why can't I have Photoshop at work?):

Oh yeah: XP with IE7, because work sucks and I can't install Firefox.

It's not happening for me here, rhapsodie, and I've been on all day... I'm using Firefox so it may well be an IE issue.

rhapsodie: I found a nice workaround for the browser thingy: I put the Firefox installer on a thumb drive and ran it off there. It installs fine, and it beats using IE6.

You can get FF for a thumbdive at portableapps. I'd kill for my work to have IE7 - it'd make my life a whole lot easier than having to deal with the junk that is IE6.

Installing Firefox is not a matter of technical inability, but of IT preference. No Unauthorized Installs Ever. And I've had numerous software requests (firefox, itunes, for example) denied. Ah well, at least it's not IE6.

Since posting this, I've been playing with it more. I can make IE a bit bigger (50px or so) and it lines up properly and is completely visible. But if I make the screen just a bit smaller the comment field pops right and gets covered up. I will keep it slightly larger.

The thumbdrive install of FF stays on the thumbdrive and runs from it - it doesn't affect your PC at all. All the apps on portableapps.com have been modified to run completely contained on a thumb drive. Also check out the VLC player for a great media player that plays just about any format of audio and video.

oopsie! Sowwy 'bout that!

This is an artifact of increasing both the right and left columns to accommodate the wider temporary artwork... but I'm not feeling up to digging in the rats' nest of my css to fix that just now... though maybe I will a little bit later. Either way, the columns will go back to normal tomorrow.
