The problem is with IE6 the comments are slowy creeping to the left  
and
getting cut-off. A real head-scratcher I think. Does anyone know  
what might
be causing this? It's the same mark-up/same CSS repeated over and  
over so

I'm sort of stymied.



Looks like the Magik Creeping Text bug:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/creep.html
which is caused by the combination of left padding and a bottom border.

There are some fixes mentioned on the above page, but the key thing  
is to trigger hasLayout on the boxes with the creeping text. Try  
setting zoom: 1; on them to avoid mucking anything else up (although  
that won't fix it for IE6, IIRC).


HTH,

Nick.
