I’m using the 3 colum, 1 left and 1 right sidebar. In Internet Explorer 8 on windows XP, the main text overlaps the left side bar if compatibility modus is switched on (which I think is the default). If I switch compatibility modus off, the site looks ok, although there some strange things while loading. Chrome is ok both on XP and windows 7, as is IE 9 on windows 7.
Anything I can do to make this work on IE 8?IE 8 in compatibility mode behaves and identifies itself as IE 7. And we don’t support IE7… IE 7 was too insane to be supported nowadays.
Compatibility mode shouldn’t be the default… at least it wasn’t on the 3 computers I tested on (but they had OS and browser updates installed, so this might make a difference).
Even IE 8 has its quirks, but most of the theme works and behaves normally in it.

Yes, IE 8 is the lowest we go.
IE 8 in compatibility mode is in fact IE 7, and IE 7 is insane to create websites for… I can’t even debug a simple CSS on it…
Nonetheless, I think I know what is causing this and I’ll try to find a workaround (which doesn’t break the website for all other browsers).

While I can see the issue on your site, I cannot reproduce it on our test installs.
Could you create a support ticket and send us an export of your theme settings? Perhaps a combination of options triggers the problem. (just type anything in the transaction id field).
