Hi, After I post something to the Forum, and save the post, the layout of the Forum page gets 'messed up'. The same thing happens then I go to read a post on the forum. Thanks.

Hi Caroline, Thanks for this

Hi Caroline,
Thanks for this feedback. I have investigated this and found it is due to a limitation that affects all versions of Internet Explorer. IE only supports up to 31 linked stylesheets in a page. Mostly this is not a problem, but there are up to 35 stylesheets generated on the form pages. The last few stylesheets (including the main stylesheet) are ignored by IE.

The fix to this problem is simple - when I switch on Drupal's stylesheet optimisation feature, it automatically consolidates all .css files into one stylesheet. Problem solved. However, I can't switch on this optimisation permanently until I have finished all theme development so the problem will persist for a short while. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused by this.

Best Regards,
Matt.
