This is a problem that occurs when you have a decent amount of information in the sidebar, but the content in the mainbody is not enough to force the site layout to stretch to the same length as the sidebar. It messes up the look of the site, and causes the bottom of the page to show incorrectly.
This only happens in IE (I only checked 6.0) and older versions of Firefox (1.0.6). The latest version of Firefox works fine. Here are some examples of the problem...

The content of the mainbody is not as long as the information in the sidebar. As you can see, the sidebar is cutoff, and the footer ends up riding up the page much higher then it should. Also, the image that is supposed to capoff the bottom of the sidebar, ends up being covered by the sidebar, because it displays way too soon.

Ken Collins commentedThis is not a bug from the theme. I designed it with AP divs to achieve a specific visual need and since AP divs do not clear within one another, this cannot be fixed. See this link:

You should know this is only an issue wiht IE 6 since it does not understand min-height attributes in CSS declarations.
