I've got about 80% of the conversion done for making Snitz into a 100% XHTML Strict and CSS valid forum. I'd love to get some feedback and testing from the people in this community.
If you're interested, you can either sign up here or download the (very early) release below. If you download the file, bear in mind that there will be a *lot* of changes in the next couple of weeks, since many of the admin files still need quite a bit of work.
Everything done to date has been tested in Firefox and (some) Internet Explorer. The goal is to get the forum 100% in Firefox then go back and fix for IE to avoid buggy code.
Bug reports can be made here or, preferably, at the link above. I'll try to keep things posted here with updates, but for awhile they'll be coming fast enough that I won't be posting everything.
Thanks in advance for any help!

As presumed, the back button is a bug within IE7. blackeye
Good luck with the JavaScript, Bill!<

Yes, indeed it will. My goal is for there to be no tables in the entire forum. Right now, the CSS part of it is extremely complex, but over time, I'm hoping that I can simplify a lot of it down and bring file sizes down even farther while broadening browser compatibility.
Thanks for the good luck, Mark. I'll need it. My javascript skills are sketchy, but I'm getting better every time I use it.<

Definitely a good thing to know. I haven't downloaded IE7 yet, and don't plan to until I absolutely *have* to. Since I've started trying to go the "valid and standard" direction with coding, I've noticed how horrendous IE's rendering engine is. Ugh. So much work.
Anyways, glad to know the buttons are fixed. I'm hoping to get some work done on layout this week. There's not a whole lot left to do until I start adding MODs into the mix. But those will be done one at a time, so should go a bit quicker.<
