Mmm you are the second person to report this now

Are you running any kind of adblocker software? If so can you disable it and see if the problem goes away

I had the same problem, using IE6, until I realized all the content had shifted to below the left menu.  Had me puzzled for a little while hitting the "refresh" button several times and still just a blank screen where the content should be.

Turns out that unless your browser is wider than the full page (including the content), everthing gets shifted down.  Try reducing the width of your browser and see if that makes this happen for you.

Anyone know why this happens?  Assume it's a template design issue.  I have the same problem with one of my sites and have no idea how to fix it.  If the extensions site "gurus" fix this and can explain how they did it, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,
kwc

Yep :)

I'm guessing the standard templates used by the Joomla team are CSS compliant.  i.e. no tables (or less) :)

- (if it was in a table it would be locked in place..)

which means the content floats.  That and the site hasn't been optimised for 800 by 600 screens so that when the screen is too thin the content doesn't fit in the width.

Kinda really the answer to the questions of should I use tableless templates or not ... (that was a joke guys..)

I think what's happened is when the google ads were turned on they are wider than they should be and hence the main content table is now wider than it may have been originally designed to be.

regards,

Harry

It looks as though this problem has now been fixed!

Can someone please shed light on how this was corrected?  I have the same issue in one of my templates.

Thank you,
