Textad display problem

Are the textads and sidebar breaching into the rest of the front page for anyone else? IE5.2.2 on OSX here.

I'm using IE 5.1 for Mac OS 9.something. and yes, getting the same problem.

Yes. It seems that any headline in a text ad above a certain character limit pushes the entire side bar into the rest of the page. It's been happening to me for a while on IE 5.5 to 6.0 and Mozilla.

hmmm, don't know if it is a coincidence, but switching to the plain text theme, and then back, fixed it.

It did that on my OSX with IE 5.2, but when I fired up Mozilla and it was fine, I got the idea and all I had to do was quit IE and restart. Problem solved.
