Forum does not show correctly either like no navbar

Start here:

W3.org Validator

Validation Output: 453 Errors

That's a LOT. That skin is coded terribly (no offense). Your comment markup is incorrect:

<!---------------------------/ Forum Stats in Header Template--------------- -->

Should be

<!-- /Forum Stats blah blah  -->

For one. And there are TONS of those, everywhere.

You're also closing font tags with:

</font color>

Where it should just be:

</font>

Or, better yet, use CSS and spans instead. There are just way too many errors in that code to troubleshoot them all and determine which one is breaking FF but I imagine once you clean it up it will start working.

You want to see this on every page that you can manage bro.

If that's your first skin, it's a good job man. Validating your code is MADDENING but it's worth it (since your site will work better, and it's better for SEO), and at the same time you will learn a TON about just writing proper code in general. I went through my skin last year after 3 years of tweaking it blindly and it probably took me 3 months to get it all valid. (And about 5 cases of beer )

I think if you clean up your comment bits and your /font tags it will fix a lot of the problems you're seeing. The output from W3 can be a bit ambiguous and nonsensical, but if you get stuck on an error I'm sure we can help you out.

OK yes important to learn but disappointing firefox users cant access. Ok sent you a PM Chris and off to work validating I will go.

That's one of the reasons that I don't like FF, it's very strict about what it displays and if you have any errors (though you have quite the bundle of them ) it will break things that IE will display. Code purists love FF, general users like it for safety but don't care about code purity, and we web designers - like it or hate it, it's a necessary evil and you have to check your site in all three "big" browsers (IE/FF/Opera) any time you do anything.

It is indeed a pain in the ass.
