Third table columns smothers center column

I'm having a problem with my layout.

My site is laid out in 3 columns. Menu, content, miscellanous (generally rss feeds or related links).

On some of my pages - mainly my articles and forums - if the visitor's resolution is too small, or the window is sized too narrow, the third column starts to cover the center column content. You can see an example of this at:

FYI The site is CMS driven, so I can't just customize those pages for two column layout.

So I have two options - is there something I'm doing wrong or missing in my css to fix this, or do you have a suggestion how to collapse the right column when not in use? I did try that before - instead of setting a fixed width on the column td, I set it on the table that sat inside it. So then it would collapse if the right column wasn't being used. But what would happen is that pages with not a lot of content in the center column would expand all the way - in fact they got narrower. Just weird inconstincenies I'm trying to sort out.

just make your collumn widths absolute instead of relative. what I mean is, instead of using percentages, use pixels. that should do it.

But I am. And I think that may be contributing to the problem.
