I'm no HTML expert, but i've been telling my designers to fix stuff like this for long 
enough so i know what causes it. IE is a bit buggy when it comes to mixing CSS and 
plain HTML. The problem is here is caused by having a table in the in forums with 
width="100%" inside of a div tag with a margin. The imagic them pads the inner block 
with a margin, but when IE calculates 100%, it doesn't think about the margin. Thus 
the problem. So is it the module's responsibility to worry about stuff like this, or 
the theme's problem? Using the imagic theme and my own module with a 100% wide table 
causes the same issue.

Thus said, there are two ways to fix it - take the div margin padding off of the theme 
(or switch it to an empty column for padding), or change the width of the tables in 
the BB module. Personally, I switched the BB module to have width="98%" for all of its 
tables, and then reduced the margin to 2px or so (more accurate across platforms than 
using "em"). I don't know who owns the mod or the theme, but i could send updated 
files if anyone wants to check them in. 

On another note, anyone interested in a pure CSS theme? Would be much better for 
rendering time, accessibility, and file size than the tables we're using for layout. 
I'm thinking of designing one, wondered if anyone would be interested when i'm done.
