I have images turned on. I'll use brown2 as you've said, although I prefer the default look.

Er... do you mind taking a few screenshots? As the search button for the default style is just a gif, I'm having trouble seeing how the text on it went walkies.

As I understand it (and the spec seems to be stating), you can't put inline elements (which <input> is) inside a <form>, only block elements. To put an <input> inside a <form>, there has to be a block element between them.

Example: <form><input/><input/><input/></form> on its own is not valid, but <form><p><input/><input/><input/></p></form> is.

Thus on the validator's output, there needs to be a <p> on line 36, after "<form action="animedb.pl" method="post">", closed on line 42 after "</form>"

Even if my analysis completely wrong, I still stand by my bug report: that you're using XHTML/Strict implies that you care about valid HTML, and would be interested to know when your HTML doesn't validate. I don't think your hostility was necessary or productive.
When I viewed the source it said something like this
<form><input/><input/><input/></p></form>
in the source shown.

Maybe rar fixed it.

The buttons with no caption have the red arrow and are circled in red.
Again, I'm using Camino in Mac OS X 10.3.9.

Nested CSS (include files) makes it take forever to load when hitting reload, since you have to wait for several http transactions rather than just one.. :(

Yes, the initial load is really slow now. :(

anidb.net has been having problems today...

Anyway, maybe you should change the caching if css files have to be loaded with each page load.

The arrangement is tempory, but do you really hit refresh that often? Anyway, what petri said.

I don't hit refresh, but anyway the first load of the forum during a browser session takes way more than before. I'm using Firefox 1.5 with default cache settings.

Possibly this is a known issue, but the AniDB masthead at the top used to be a link to the front page.

I've not touched the forum! The .net server has just been having fun. The sql was down for a bit, but no one seemed to notice anyway. And yeah elfish, that particular misfeature I'm glad to be rid of - use 'main' in nav if you want to go to the top.

What about making the Buttons "login" and "signup" the same? (see Kaonashi's Screen) So half/Half its ugly.

They are the same, on everything but Mac, it seems. Obviously they love their silly rounded shiny widgets so much they don't want me to override them. Will look into solutions. I'd like to dump html forms really, but that's not an option for the foreseeable future.

They are wrong for me too, and I'm not on Mac.

My browser is Konqueror (Linux) and I know it has support for changing the look on widgets with css.

Screenshot of the frontpage on several browsers:
Safari 2.0.2 ___________ Mozilla 1.7.12 ________ Internet Explorer 5.2.3 _ Firefox 1.5 __________ Camino 1.0b1 ________ Opera 8.51
Image Image Image Image Image Image
All on Mac OS X 10.4.3
So it looks like Browser and OS issue

edit: Opera added
