    1/ The forum links generate invalid code. Patch:

    [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

    2/ When logged on, there are also validation warnings for the <label for="password"> and <label for="username"> fields – reference to non-existent ID “username”/”password” , since their content is empty. (Not patched above.)

    (P.S. – Eh, the code tag here mangles things! Grrr. Simply, there should be the amp; appended before t= and u= on the two offending lines.)

    Erm, guys – could you kindly apply the patch? Tired of fixing it every day on every new release.

    P.S. Good that the topic got “moderated”, maybe you could instead fix the code tag to work properly. Pastebins are completely stupid way to post any patches anywhere.

    The above is auto generated by WordPress. There is no modification to your first topic.

    Please can you provide me with your code in order to see what’s wrong with that ?

    Note that in some cases the code can be not valid, based on your Web Site DOCTYPE. That means that your DOCTYPE may not support that format, but other DOCTYPE can supported.

    There was a patch inlined which was moderated, suggesting to use pastebin instead; definitely not autogenerated comment at all. Yeah, I could provide you with the code again:

    This has nothing to do with DOCTYPE, you simply need to use the entity for & char in URLs in that widget.

    Updated to (unpatched) 2.0.5: http://lg-p500.zrusit.eu/blog/

    I really do not understand what is so hard to understand here. This causes one validation error plus loads of additional warnings for every forum link included via that widget – which all are gone when you replace the & with the appropriate entity – as required for any XHTML doctype out there.
