I have switched to using inline style sheets for my comments pages, so can those of you who were experiencing problems with the stylesheet taking a long time to load have a look and see if that's any better? Thanks
Seems fine; however, as to the text size, the problem would appear to be that the rext size your style sheet uses is not affected by the text-sizing options in IE, although Mozilla's text-zoom works fine. So, your style was showing up as teeny-tiny in IE. It seems to be OK in Mozilla, now, though.
Not doing that for me on Safari. However, some userpics and the 'parent | reply' bits aren't fitting into the boxes surrounding comments on Safari, Camino, Mozilla or IE for the Mac. Amusingly it looks like different pictures are messed up on different browsers.
Actually, I've found the problem. IE interpreted floats inside divs in a way which, while not correct, gives the effect I want :) Other browsers don't so I set a min-height using CSS selectors (html>body) to hide it from IE because it gets confused by min-height. Unfortunatly, LJ is running my page through the HTML cleaner and so in the resulting page it's html>body which is no use to man nor beast! I'm working on it though.
Instantaneous! Still got the IE vs. CSS box problem though...?!! Doesn't inline styles cause a problem if you want update the stylesheets? No single point of contact and all that...?
Yes - it means I have to maintain my stylesheet code in 2 places :( On the other hand, that shouldn't be a more important consideration than the usability of my site for it's readers and I discovered from Jeremy/Ian the other night that the stylesheet was loading so much later that there was a visible re-draw after the initial page load. I assume that's my hosting company serving slower than LJ. I never noticed it because I'm on my pages so much that I think my browser has cached my stylesheet.

Now that I'm with OpenHosting, I haven't noticed any particular decrease in speed in stylesheet loading (although fetching email using a remote web client does seem to be a tad slower) - but then, I'm just pleased to be with a bunch of friendly guys who actually answer support questions and set things up when you want them too!!
Ruddy IE! Discovered while looking at something for Ian that if you fiddle with the text size, the actual text size doesn't change but the box problem goes away intermittantly! I don't know if that will be fixable tbh as I haven't had any luck in tracking down what the actual bug is :(
