List hover and bullet problem in IE

I'm using a <ul> list with CSS customisation for changing the bullet icons to a custom image. I've used pretty much the same code twice in the page, and in IE only one of the lists displays the bullet images. In the other, the images don't appear until you roll the mouse cursor over them... (Top right of the page, under 'related links').

It's fine in Firefox but I can't figure out what the problem could be. Is this another IE bug and if so what fix can I use? Also why would it work on one part of the page and not in another?

The site is here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.worldcycle.co.uk/newsite/about.html">http://www.worldcycle.co.uk/newsite/about.html</a><!-- m -->)
CSS is here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.worldcycle.co.uk/newsite/includes/style.css">http://www.worldcycle.co.uk/newsite/includes/style.css</a><!-- m -->)I have the same problem with IE not displaying until the mouse is moved over an element.

How does this happen, and what's the fix?Don't ask me why, but for some reason this seems to fix it:
<div><strong>Other links</strong></div>
<div style="display:inline;margin:0;padding:0;"></div>
<ul class="arrow_links_right">
<li><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.worldcycle.co.uk/route.php">My route</a></li>
<li><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.worldcycle.co.uk/equipment.php">My equipment</a></li>

<li><a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"http://www.worldcycle.co.uk/links.php">Links</a></li>
</ul>

I hate IE... There are so many strange little quirks like that! We need to just convert the world to gecko engine browsers!Originally posted by Exuro

This subject took us way off topic in another thread. IE is here to stay. Sorry about that. :D
