Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I had been searching the forum for hours before I got the courage to ask.

Thanks again.

Hi, I'm running CMSMS 1.0.2, Linux, PHP 5.2.0, and mySQL 4.1.21 standard. My site: http://goNEWz.com . My news summary on the home page under FireFox is fine, but under IE the summaries are missing and there's a strange indenting thing going on. Here's a screen shot under IE7: http://goNEWz.com/imag...
