WP Sidebars Dropped to the Bottom-Need help.

PROGRAMMING

I've got a Wordpress blog that was working fine, but now the two sidebars have been relocated to the bottom of the blog below the posts. I'm not sure if it's my theme acting up or a setting that I messed up.

Any help would be appreciated greatly! I'll be glad to PM you the link if you have a second to look at it.

EDIT - Problem resolved!

Mark,

Depending on the theme the following may be called different things, but the same general principle applies....

the left sidebar width + the content width + the right sidebar width must be less the html table width containing all the above elements.

If not, something gets squeezed to the bottom. In your CSS file look for main table width and either add a few pixels to it or remove some from the content or sidebar width(s).

  Charles,
  
  I think you nailed it. Suddenly, when a new post was added earlier today, the sidebars went back to where they are supposed to be. I went in and edited the CSS and hopefully eliminated this problem in the future. Thanks for all your help.

  This little glitch is getting to me. Thought I had it licked. It appears when certain posts are made, and then the sidebars go back to normal when other posts are made. If anyone knows Wordpress better than I do (which should be most ) and you want to take a looksie, let me know. PM me and I'll send you the URL.

  OK, this is really getting irritating. I've played with the CSS a little and can't get this to work. I've reloaded the original theme's CSS and no luck. I've swapped out the theme for the default them, and then back to this theme, no luck. I'm no WP wizard. I'm somewhat sure the CSS sizing is not consistent between the main theme and the widgets, but I can't find the problem.
  
  Anyone got any ideas or time to glance at this?
  
  All I can think of is systematically going through and removing one widget at a time until I find the culprit. But I'm not sure if I will loose all the infomation in the widget when I remove it (aff. products, text, links, graphics, etc.)
