Running a version of IE8 on one Windows 7 machine (Ultimate) and IE9 on another machine (7 Pro).  The empty space is visible in both browsers. 

Renderosity has been a mess for weeks now, since their last 'improvement', and I've actually taken to shopping at Content Paradise.  It seems a few of the vendors I follow sell in either store.

Web masters really need to learn that less can be more.  There is way too much clutter and bells that don't ring and whistles that don't blow on this site.  It is beyond annoying when I mouse over some expanding box with content I have no interest in seeing.  Again, less can be more.
