And you know, I've grown to hate the word "deprecated". Surely there is some other words that could be used to describe something that "works now but maybe not in the future and we'd rather you didn't use it"?

Error: unknown entity "REPLY_ID" |

I added one and ran the test. The errors are from the QueryString in the links. |

I see, for that the query String will need to be build as
page.asp?Topic_ID=1& amp;Page=1
Use & amp; instead of &. (Ignore the space in & amp;) |

I've seen a running YABBse pass the 4.01 standard and CSS 2.0 standard.
So theres no way you can say it wont pass because its dynamically generated. |

Ok, I'll rephrase what I said then.
I have NEVER seen a site using a Snitz Forums 2000 forum. pass the validator at:
http://validator.w3.org/
Does that sit better with y'all? |

It looks as though everybody is running IE here anyway.. You all look kind of surprised if people say the html doesn't parse correctly in all browsers.
If you make a forum this size and with so much possible users you SHOULD consider EVERY browser as a possible site viewer. And yes it's very well possible.. |

my favorite validator is users.org
Well i don't know exactly how things are now but it didn't parse the html tables correctly in Opera. May be that has been fixed. But i'd sure check the forum in some browser versions (most important mozilla, netscape 4.xx and Opera).
We always do. |
