It's come to my attention that there are some problems displaying the new site design correctly in IE 5.5 and 6, with the comic appearing far down the page, somewhere after the last elements but before the footer. So far, the problem appears to be limited to IE 5.5-6.... IE 7, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Safari, and a bajillion linux programs all say the code is fine. This appears to be another occurance of a fairly well documented (but ultimately unresolved) bug with how IE handles the "float" command. IE's troubleshooting recommendation, I believe, is to upgrade to IE 7 if at all possible.

I'm working up a workaround right now, however the whole "float" command is rather important to the dynamic layout... So if you are still using IE 5.5/6, I'm sorry, and I feel your pain. The super-nice fast nifty computers I have here at work only have IE 6.0.29xxxxx, and since they're company owned, we're not allowed to upgrade the version of IE we're using.

If you are able, at all, to upgrade (or go to a different platform, such as Firefox, which I won't even bother linking to) now would probably be as good a time as any, since it's only going to get worse from here out.
