The left and right column buttons didn't work for me in Internet Explorer.

To fix this open admin/infobox_configuration.php and find:

case 'setflagcolumn': //set the status of a box left or right.
if ( ($HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] == 'left') || ($HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] == 'right') ) {
if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['cID']) {
tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_THEME_CONFIGURATION . " set configuration_column = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] . "' where configuration_id = '" . (int)$cID . "'");
}
}

Replace it with:
case 'setflagcolumn': //set the status of a box left or right.
if ( ($HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] == 'left') || ($HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] == 'right') ) {
if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['cID']) {
tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_THEME_CONFIGURATION . " set configuration_column = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['flag'] . "' where configuration_id = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['cID'] . "'");
}
}

That should do the trick!

The only difference is the configuration_id. Changed it from (int)$cID to $HTTP_GET_VARS['cID']

Hope this helps.
