HEADER tags have very little space below them - this isn't a problem on any other of the popular browsers.
If long names appear in the right-hand column, then the column expands and squashes the main body of text. Again, this 'feature' is unique to Mac IE 4.5.
Long BOXHEADER titles do not wrap - this isn't a problem on the Windows version of IE 5.

The problem is that whenever Internet Explorer 4 submits a form (see below), it causes all the graphics files on the following page to be downloaded again, even if they were already in your browser cache. This is a bug in Internet Explorer 4.

- Adding a user page
- Editing a user page
- Adding a journal entry
So you can see that it will happen fairly often.
The solution is one of the following:
