W3 Validator Update

They updated the validator to v0.8.0. You can read the changed options from What's New at The W3C Markup Validation Service however more important thing is in order to keep vBulletin pages validated you must change the following in vBulletin templates. I advise you to use search and replace in vBulletin template manager.

Search For
Code:
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
Replace With
Code:
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

validation aside, the DTD will be used by standards compliant browsers to render the page in the proper defined format.


this is a simple global replace and takes two secs to copy paste and next next through the couple pages of replacements.
