Joe,
I just stumbled upon this enquiry again (had already voted weeks ago)... and it reminded me of what I wanted to tell you:
When I was on vacation (last week of May) I also visited my old home town in South/West Germany, where I had the chance to visit these pages using my mother's Mac (she uses an old iMac G4, running Mac OS 9.2 with older browsers):
On her Internet Explorer (5) the boards looked AWFUL, apparently IE (which is a shitty-program anyway) can't correctly display the forum software: all the headings looked normal, but the text of the posts was all crammed into a very small
She also has the browser iCab installed, which is a bit of an Firefox clone (in fact it's recommended by Mozilla for Mac OS 9, as their browser don't support older Mac OS anymore.
On iCab the forum looked better, but still pretty strange.... I can't quite remember what was wrong, but it was something with font sizes and relationship between fonts and pics etc.
I'm just telling you this to show you that, indeed, it's very important to check everything with as many different browsers and OS's as possible....as even the forum software WITHOUT your design changes apparently can't be displayed correctly on too many systems.
Just thought I better let you know.....
