So it's just the order that I closed the tags?
Would:
Code:
<a href="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/showthread.php?t=375"><span
class="portalblue">Ben Carroll / Ra</span></a><br />
Be what you're talking about? So I end up with a span tag within the <a> tag?
Thanks by the way.

My site throws a babillion errors in the validator, and since I have no mods left to install that I'm interested in, I'm going mad with nothing to do.
