Thought I’d do my civic duty this afternoon.
Noticed ModernDomainer.com’s site, specifically their right nav bar, is all funked up in the firefox browser. (not sure if they know this or not, thought I’d post anyway)
The gray bars are overextended, and the copy within the cells is cut off a bit.
For example, the first question reads: “Do you feel represented a domainer within ICANN?”
and the first answer reads “Yes, they tend to loo out for all interests”
I know, I know, this may seem like a trivial point to devote an entire post to, but consider this:
According to Google Analytics, over the past 30 days, 53% of my readership base accessed the site through Firefox, compared to 40% IE.
and if that many domainers are reading my blog using Firefox, chances are, that many domainers are reading their site through the same browser.
And I consider ModernDomainer a leader in the domain publishing world. They’re helping us all spread the word about the sweet beautiful world of domaining. So in all measures, I want them to look good. Cause if they look good, I look good too : )
(Hey Ezra or Seth, ya’ll know about this?)

lol :)!
Their site is based on a template from a popular joomla template club. They’re running version 3.0.1 of the template and the latest is 3.0.5 - I’d suggest a simple upgrade of the template, this should fix all issues as the template designer is one of the best around so will have been on top of this error.
On the subject… this comment box is extending under the righthand column for me! (Firefox 2.0.0.11).
You’re too right, Tom..
I’ve tried to dig in and figure out how to correct my comment box, but haven’t determine how.. I may even email you (if that’s ok) and see if there’s an easy fix..

I’ve just emailed you a small css fix, hopefully that’ll do the trick!
got it..think you fixed it.. I owe you one!
(now that I’ve downloaded ie7, I’m noticing all my right nav images (which are hyperlinked) have the annoying blue border boxes around them (which dont show up on firefox or ie6).. never knew they were there..oye..

Hey, just checked this post and saw your comment! I don’t think my subscriptions are working - maybe I didn’t subscribe, thought I did!
This is a common problem, all you need to do is add this to your stylesheet:
[code]
img
{ border-style: none;
}
[/code]
Tom.
Without the “[code]” bits! I though bbcode might have worked in the comments!
