Hi
I'm responsible for the IHR site's looks and bad coding practices. In actuality their are 470 page errors on our web site. I'm aware of them but certain compromises had to be made in order to get some features in a short time. About 180 errors are generated just by using an original forum template/ skin. Forumotion is a good site but is very restrictive on your access to pages and code (css for example). One of the most common questions for Forumotion users is how to make rotating banners for example. The answer usually is it's not possible. Our site has them though but getting them to work was tricky for me. This holds true for the Jquery scripts that control accordian links.
I'm focusing on Firefox and IE for now but if you have any major rendering errors in Opera let me know as I don't check on that frequently. I also know it renders on Iphone safari as my co-workers show me periodically.
To clarify i'm not a proffessional more like an old school html'er whos learning some new stuff on the fly (Didn't even know about Jquery, ajax, Json until a month ago).
and having fun learning again.
I will address most of the errors eventually but for now it's all about making things look good and being helpful to users. Until we get our own server though compromises will have to be tolerated.
Peace
Gnu

It's not hard to code valid and properly, so far I'd say the design it's self is "OK" doesn't flow quite well though, if you understand what I mean with the colors.
Also why do you need your own server? You're on a free host lmao, that site can't possibly need a dedi server. Also 500server sucks I hate how every god d*** LFS server is HOSTED BY 500 SERVERS, thanks for the 200ms ping ****s. Theres less than 10 servers with under 180MS ping for years

Having a wtf moment, here. I've just done a side-by-side comparison of the http://ironhorseracing.forumotion.com/ website in the four browsers I check site visuals in - Microsoft IE8; Google Chrome; Mozilla Firefox; Opera.
The site is visually indifferent to the browser used in all important respects, as far as I can tell. For a laugh, I did a completely irrelevent source validation at w3c. It was a complete joke, most of the errors identified were down to the validator failing dismally to comprehend the code. That's quite normal.. these validators are pretty dumb. They throw up stupid errors for things like the "&&" operand in Javascript.
So that all begs the question.. WTF? Are there actually people out there who are markup nazis? The site works, get over yourselves.
