well, I found a solution to my problem.
This was caused by a bug in the stylesheet in the WP-Andreas09 theme.
It will happen to anyone wo uses this theme.
Find the following selectors in the style.css file:

.entry, .entrytext {
overflow: hidden;
}

* html .entry, * html .entrytext {
overflow: visible;
height: 1px;
}

* html .entry p, * html .entrytext p {
width: 99%;
overflow: hidden;
}

and then remove the spaces between the html and the class so that it looks
like this;

.entry, .entrytext {
overflow: hidden;
}

* html.entry, * html.entrytext {
overflow: visible;
height: 1px;
}

* html.entry p, * html.entrytext p {
width: 99%;
overflow: hidden;
}

that’s what I thought.
But even without the rich-text editor I have the SAME problem. Because WordPress by default puts the post text in <p></p> paragraph tags!! If you have floating images within those tags, things look ugly in Internet Explorer.

Am I the only one with this problem??

Kahil,
sure that will fix it as well. Are you using the new ‘rich text’ editor? If so, it would mean you create a post only to sift through its html before publishing it. Not very user-friendly, especially for those who are not well trained and experienced in writing code…
This is one example where I give ‘blogger’ the edge, their editor doesn’t use ` tags…

btw, I forgot to put the <p></p> in ‘code’. So whenever you see the word ‘tag’ in my previous entries, imagine the ‘p’ in front of it.
It’s the ‘p’ tag that screws everything up in IE.

samboll, do you have an example I can look at somewhere? As you noticed, I am using wp-andreas09 as well, and I’d like to see a post with several text paragraphs which include a floated image.

samboll,
thanks for the reply, that IS a handy tool!
However, it doesn’t solve my problem. The problem is the tag handling in connection with aligned images.
If there is text embedded in tags AFTER the image, IE shows a BIG white space in my post because it displays the text BELOW the image.
Firefox handles it differently, the text and pic are displayed just the way I want it.
I really don’t want to sift though all my posts with images and remove tags. Besides, I need them.

Other suggestions?
gracias

schulte,
thank you SO MUCH for leading me on the right track!
It was the edit-page-form.php file that wasn’t replaced, for whatever reason. I’m at a loss how that happened, I could swear that I deleted the old files on my web server. And WHY this particular file only is a mystery to me.

Anyway, problem solved and again, muchas gracias!

yes, absolutely.

everything is working, except writing/editing pages.

isn’t there anyone who can help me out here? Please?

gracias to you both. Will try my luck over there ??

after the upgrade to 2.0.2, I cannot edit or create pages. posts work fine.
I always get the following error message in the middle of the screen in “/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=nnn”:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘user_firstname’ in ‘field list’]
SELECT ID, user_login, user_firstname, user_lastname FROM wp_users WHERE user_level <= 10 AND user_level > 0

has that happened to anyone else?
How can I fix it?

gracias

hhmm, I get the same message
(https://inka.wordpress.com)

Is there any documentation on what to do in this case??

gracias

I checked all cookies that my blog creates but they are all set to “expire at session’s end’.
Is that a parameter and where I can change that value?

Thanks

happens on my blog also after upgrading to 2.0.2.
There seems to be a cookie problem. Every time I close my web browser I have to login again. Cookies are enabled and besides the upgrade I didn’t change a thing.

FYI, I get the same error when I try to write a new page!

moshu,
thanks for your help. I finally found the culprit, it was GoDaddy who screwed up. All works now, posts and comments are transfered.
Only the post images from blogger don’t show up (broken). They still point to https://photos1.blogger.com/. Any idea what I can do here?
gracias
