Right sidebar in Minelli/Garland
Occasionally (including now) all of the content that should be in the right sidebar is displayed at the bottom of the content instead. This only happens on the front page, single posts, admin pages, and archives are fine.
I'm pretty sure it's not a result of something in our content making the page too wide as it started a few weeks ago and none of the same items are on the front any more. This happens in both Garland and Minelli. See it in action at http://forpeace.net
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Never found it
I could never figure out what the offending post was, but it seems to have migrated off the front page and it's back to normal now.
Partially solved
Yesterday I figured out that this sidebar problem was happening when there was a <div> that was spanning the <!--break-->. I find this weird since other tags, like <blockquote> don't freak out when the same thing happens.
Anyway, I've mostly got it licked but ONE post from last year is still causing the sidebar to drop down and I just can't figure out why. I'm not going to worry about it right now, b/c now my site is breaking in some other, more critical ways. :-(
Missing div
It's usually because there's a missing <div> or closing </div> tag, also usually the result of using the <!--break--> tag to create a 'read more' link. Essentially, the post breaks off before the necessary closing HTML, making the browser think that the tag is still open and that the content should be in whatever the current column happens to be. Drupal 6 fixes this with the "HTML corrector" input format, but for now you'll have to look at the posts on your front page, check out the HTML, and see if there's a missing HTML element before it breaks off.
I can't find anything wrong
I've been using the break tag for ages, so I don't see why it would suddenly start causing a problem.
Would you mind having a quick look at http://forpeace.net? Again, this only happens on the front page, not on archives or single post pages.
