URL to your eFiction:  www.dracoandginny.com
Version of eFiction:  3.3
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?:  No
Version of PHP: 4.4.4
Version of MySQL: 4.0.27-standard
Have you searched for your problem: (yes/no) Yes
If so, what terms did you try: formatting, CSS (wasn't sure what to search for)
State the nature of your problem:
This story is appearing without some of the formatting in IE6.0:  http://dracoandginny.com/viewstory.php?sid=4249  It was okay before upgrade to 3.3.

It looks as though it's not accessing the CSS file.  Because of the spacing and other formatting I think it's pulling from the .tpl, but not style.css.  It doesn't matter what skin you start out with, either, and it's only happening with this one story (and doesn't matter if you're logged in or not).  And only in IE6.0.  It looks fine in Firefox 2.0.0.5.  And even though it should normally go to the first chapter of the story, it's going to the TOC.

I'm going to look around and see if I can't find another story doing the same and see if there's some commonality.

Edit: When you view a story that has a warning pop-up when not logged in, it takes you to the TOC.  When I'm logged in, it doesn't, probably because I have the option to bypass selected.  The story in question has a pop-up, but age consent is not required.  I have no idea if it's meant to happen this way, but it probably has nothing to do with the formatting issue after all.

hmmmm... check your database and see if there is any differences between this story, and other stories.

It could be the rating... try other stories with the same rating.

Another definitely Naughty story comes up with this url:

http://dracoandginny.com/viewstory.php?sid=1640&warning=2

Hmm.. no, I just added that to the stories url and it didn't change anything.

http://dracoandginny.com/viewstory.php?sid=4249&warning=2

Maybe there's some code in the summary messing things up.


Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

I'd already looked at the database and other stories with similar ratings when I posted this.  Jenny also suggested looking into the summary.  I backslashed the single quotes and it works now.  Strange, but solved.  Thanks!
