Probably an unclosed <u> tag. Solution: close the <u> tag.

Find it in the page source and then figure out where it is coming from.

I inspected that part using Firebug. I got the following thing.

I can see the <u> element in it. Now, in which template do I look for it?

I've seached forumbits, forumdisplay.css, etc. , but I still didn't find it.

Any help?

I would not use firebug to find it because it will assume you meant to close the tag. Look in the page source.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

Look in the page source.

Sorry for acting so retarded and noobish, but how do I do that?
Thanks so much for your co-operation with this Lynne.

God Bless :)

Usually you can view the page source in your browser by going to View > Page Source. Then look to make sure all <u> have a closing </u>.

Why do you go as far as erasing the forum stats instead of posting a link? It could have been done already.

I would take a look at any user titles that have the underline code in it, and see if the tag is closed there. I had an issue where mods/admins weren't closing font tags when making custom color tags, and the bottom section of the page would be that color.

Check forum description.

where ever you changed the code. Go through templates and see which one is red. Revert to default. Prob will correct the issue. If it only occurs on that theme, you may want to talk to the designer.

I got it fixed. It was an issue with an unclosed tag in one of the forum descriptions. Thanks so much guys! God Bless :)
