What's happening?

  • HTML validation errors

    TOPCHAT produces HTML with many validation errors. Most would be pretty easy to fix. The most common problem is a lack of entity coding. The & symbol that is used to separate request variables in URLs should be entity encoded as & just like elsewhere on the page. I think most people forget about this one!

  • Group parameter should be optional

    With URLs of the following type: http://www.jugglingdb.com/news/thread.php?group=1&offset=0&thread=39810&id=157348 It should be possible to omit the group parameter if the headliner installation only has a single group.
