Phoenix that may affect other sites too?

The site should be displayed properly, as in IE.

This bug is not Phoenix specific; it's a Mozilla/Gecko rendering issue or an
evangelism issue as I'm seeing this in Moz as well.

It's a site coding issue.

In IE 5.5.2, the name and password input areas appear on one line.  In Mozilla
2002111108, because the login form's box is fixed to a pixel width, they appear
on separate lines.  This makes the login form too tall, which makes the head
table too tall, which exposes some gray background behind the images that
divide the GAMESPOT logo from the login area. Decreasing the default font size
a few steps (Ctrl -) seems to work around the problem.
