Forum does not validate W3C by user2319 on 01-16-2005 at 08:20 PM
The forum doesn't validate, according to http://validator.w3.org. Why isn't the forum valid XHTML? It is saying it is.. (see quote below from source). Also, when I turn cookies off, I can't login (well, I can, but I can't stay logged in), and the forum doesn't look to good in Lynx (text-mode browser; it looks all messy). Can it be fixed to be valid?

Now, about the cookies: It says it does that here, but I still find it annoying..

and the forum is transitional, it's just the theme that dates from mybb RC2 which isn't, what makes the page invalid.
(IIRC)

Why isn't the forum valid XHTML?

It is saying it is

You can use Mozilla and Opera on Linux, so don't complain about Lynx.

That doesnt mean the site claims to be valid XHTML, It is just a signal to the browser as to how to view the page.
RE: Forum does not validate W3C by user2319 on 01-17-2005 at 04:26 PM
Yes, it tells the browser to view the page as W3C XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
Can't the templates be modified? Or would it break everything (I suppose it would.. 
)

CSS is not a problem.
Disabled users can't use Mozilla and Opera. And sometimes when I'm in text-mode I like to browse the web.

So, when's that gonna be released? And for when's the final scheduled? It's been in RC for a long time now if I'm not mistaking <_<

and even when gold comes out he probably won't upgrade, he will just think about it, realise how much work they would be to do. then realise that hes lazy and can't be arsed
