    Default Whoa, random positioning of items

    Hi I thought this might be due to having not specified a sort orders for the items, however they remain randomly scattered.Only refresh fixes. Any ideas?

    At first I thought you might be talking about the slight cumulative offset between the top & middle rows in Geometric Extrusions, but in Lock Hardware I see what you mean. Three products on the bottom row crunched into one another, with a gap in the rows above. Not exactly random, but there are some wierd rules operating/colliding to make that happen. Can't say I understand it....

    Now back to Geometric Extrusions and *that* is all wacky.

    I just peeked at it in IE and FF, and don't see the problem ... clicked around to various categories, refreshed a few times ... no changes on screen, and no appearance of images bumping into each other. Everything spaced evenly.

    Interesting. I went to your site never having been there before and saw the image spacing problem. I'm using firefox so I cleared the cache and refreshed the page and everything moved to where it belongs. hmmmm....

    Yes this is quite bizarre, it works fine for me in IE but not FF. And the positioning changes on refresh.

    Whoa thats wierd. I go back to your site and images are inrandom layouts again, clear cache, refresh and everything normal. Then, get this, I decide to hit refresh again and the images revert to random layout, so I hit refresh again and the images are still random but different positions kinda like a game (I know its not funny)
    Just keep hitting refresh and images keep moving all over the place

    i was just thinking maybe it's a problem with the column layout mod?? has anyone had a similar issue?

    this site is live with a decent amount of traffic, so its a bit of a problem!

    Same problem here that seems to be limited to Firefox. I can't replicate it using MSIE.

    At times the images are distributed evenly across 3 columns...at other times there are either 2 images close together with the 3rd off to the right, or a couple images will actually overlap to some degree. I can't reliably reproduce this ...again, only in Firefox (2.0b2 Beta)

    I don't see this at all in MSIE. This may be the only reason to use IE.
