Thanks for pointing those errors out - I've been through, basically reverted a lot of templates to the defaults, and now the pages parse correctly with http://validator.w3.org/check

However, the problems are still there. Have you any other suggestions?

Many thanks.

The dropdowns don't work whether you are logged in or not.

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

Excellent - when I use that new utterly default style and browse then the functionality is restored.

I've left it over on that for the moment so you can see.

The next step is tracking down the rogue elements in the current style? Don't know where to start, I'm afraid...

You start by looking at your edited template. You may want to start by looking at your navbar and header template and seeing what changes were made. The footer template and headinclude template would be the next on my list of suspects.

Ok Lynne, found it. It was some code I'd found somewhere in a forum that I'd put in to do a manual SEO of the meta keywords/headers. I stripped that out and all is well.

As always, be careful when you see some nice free code lying around. It may not be bug free!

Thanks for your time.
