Main site isn't HTML valid and some minor forum issues

Postby Towncivilian on Thu Dec 02, 2010 5:45 pm

So, the main site can't even attempt to be validated by the W3 Validator. Maybe you should fix this, or maybe you guys don't really care as long as it all displays right in IE/FF/Chrome?

Why can normal users see the "Administration Control Panel" link @ the bottom of each forum page?

Even if a registered user is browsing a topic, it says something like: "Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 1 guest" even though they are registered and logged in.

When linking to a specific post, the topic number is replaced by the post. Example:
viewtopic.php?p=6837#p6837
while the topic URL is
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=208

It still works, so you guys probably don't care, again. Just a really trivial cosmetic issue that probably doesn't impact anything.

Just wanted to point these out for y'all.

Same..

The page does have an absolute stack of modifications though, and most certainly wont validate.. not that I really care, as you suspected.. it works (including the logged in users) and is optimized for Firefox, not IE.

If I was inclined to debug some of the syntax, I would find myself in a corner, as at root cause is a template/style we are using in combination with a bunch of mods designed to work with another style again, thus, use of tables, iframes, divs and all sorts of different approaches are all employed within the one page... something I would not wish on my worst enemy to get validation on..

In a previous role I have converted the Australian Federal Government's web from HTML 4.01 transitional to XHTML 1.0 Strict, using the w3 validator and vi as my editor, so I'm certainly capable, but also, not inclined.

Thanks for the heads-up all the same.

You're quite welcome. I figure as long as it displays mostly fine in the three major browsers, nobody gives a hoot, but just in case ya did... :P
