Adding screenshot of beta.launchpad.net in IE. Notice nothing on the left side of the browser page. Kind of limits what one can do

Now that Launchpad has moved into an open beta, this is still a problem. Just wondering if anyone is looking at it?

If useful, this IE conditional can be added to the HTML to solve the IE7 issue:

<!--[if IE 7]>
 <style type="text/css">
  #portlets {
   left: 20px !important;
   right: none;
   border: 1px solid #f30 !important;
  }
 </style>
<![endif]-->

Sorry, I forgot to take off the border debugging code... Here it is in a clean way:

<!--[if IE 7]>
 <style type="text/css">
  #portlets {
   left: 20px !important;
   right: none;
  }
 </style>
<![endif]-->

(Code should be added after main CSS import)

I fixed it using the triple-X CSS hack in the style sheet. I'll switch to a conditional comment in future only if the CSS hack breaks future browsers, because such a comment would need to be downloaded on every page load, whereas that isn't/won't be true for the style sheet.

... Future browsers such as Opera 9.20. Sigh. So I ended up using the conditional comment anyway. Thanks for providing the code, Victor.
