Damned, I would have switched no doubt.

I am using the sapphire theme and when I open the site in internet explorer the right column slides down to the bottom of the page ... while firefox renders it perfectly ..
any pointers for this problem...

That's exactly what has happened, better late than never I suppose. But it does make you wonder how much effort was put into placing that theme into the system with such an obvious problem.

And I agree the font is way to large and wastes too much landscape.

I didn't think anything about the font!

I suspect that the team have played with it.

Great looking theme, the only thing I don't like is the flaming hooooooooooooooooooooooge font used for the pages and the "Home" link on every page. You can get to "home" by clicking the top link.

Think I'll stick with "neat" for the moment, just because it is!

So maybe it's not a problem? They edited it out already?

[Love that theme, btw - best one yet!]

The Author section included as part of the sidebar will raise many questions.

It includes this text.

A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview. You have to edit the sidebar.php file in your theme folder to add content to this part.

Obviously, to some, with no access to the sidebar.php file this cannot be changed to add the blog authors profile. To others with less experience on WP.com or WP.org the forum will fill up fast with related questions.

Having the above text on display ruins the design of an otherwise decent looking theme.

Cue the "What were they thinking" moment.
