Large space on the mainpage between superposition's Oprah post body text and the footer. Doesn't show in the comments section. Firefox 1.0. XP

Drag your window a little bit wider.

White Hat — try expanding your browser window. What's causing this is that the "posted by" text will wrap around the sidebar before it itself wraps, so if your browser is just a tad too narrow, all the text below and including the "posted by" gets bumped down to sub-sidebar levels.

Yeah, happens to me from time to time. Small browser width is the problem. Nothing to get too excited about.

Nope. Problem exists between keyboard and chair.

Happens to me sometimes. Yes, it is a bug, and shrinking the page or altering the text size (Ctrl+ and Ctrl-) will also bring the text back.
