Depending on the template you use on your site, you will have the following problem when viewing the user profile with Internet Explorer -It does NOT happen with Firefox, as far as I know:

Clicking on a tab in the user profiles will make the left menu move to the bottom left of the site. So the whole thing will look kind of ugly.

Here is how to fix this:

Look what tab is causing the problem by clicking through your profile tabs. Maybe there is more than one tab causing the problem.

 

Go to the directory:

components\com_comprofiler\plugin\user

of you Joomla installation

Here you find the installed plugins.
Open the plugin directory, Usually there is a html, a yml and a php file in it.

Backup the php file,l to have a copy if something will go wrong!!!!

Open the php file in a text editor and do a search for:

width=100%

If you are using the Pony Gallery tab it will be here:

// Start of pics table:

// $return.= "

";

 

Replace the 100% value with a smaller one. 80% is a good starting point.

Do a browser refresh of your user profile and if anything looks ok know, replace the 80% with a larger value.

Test again, until you find the largest working value. In most cases it will be a value around 95%.

 

Hint:

Make a comment in the code, so you could see where you have made changes.

Believe me, if you use another site template after a year, you will not remember where you have made changes.
