You need to run the validator on the page you are having the errors on (the showthread page) in order for it to help you.

And take a look at the source code for those broken images.

It is not a default vbulletin issue - I'd guess most of those are from modifications. For instance, vbulletin doesn't use <br> at all - they do them properly as <br />. Same with & in a url, they always use &amp; . As for how do you start? You start with the little things like the ones I mentioned. You'll find that you fix one, and it usually fixes several of the errors.

It also looks like non-logged in users don't have permission to view some images. This one isn't showing for me and I get a Not Logged In/No Permission error when trying to view it in my browser - http://www.myanimeisland.com/forums/...maibanner2.jpg

#  Error  Line 64, Column 306: required attribute "alt" not specified

…//www.myanimeisland.com/newmai.jpg"/></a> </tr> </table> </tr> <tr> <td width

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

i have loads of these ones and im not sure what is wrong with it
any chance you know lynne or anyone else
Thanks

That has to do with any image tags you use. You need the alt attribute:

<img src="whatever.jpg" alt="something" />

Thanks Lynne what would i put for the

alt="something"

bit as a Example

And could you check that image link now see if you can see it
Thanks

You would put what you want users to see if the image doesn't show. So, for instance, if it's an image of a happy face, then the alt would be "happy face". Or, you can just have alt="", but you need to have the alt attribute in there.
