Attachment: menu are messup

poll menu shouldnt be there, it supposed to be on the top
and there is no other menus below the end of the topic, such as reply,
fastreply(when you are logged on), and +topic

Arif, it looks like it may be indocg's code that may be to blame, so I'm marking this as a WONTFIX. 

I haven't got time to look at it at the moment unfortunately, as I'm supposed to be working, but if you 
see the following link: http://tinyurl.com/4487o your site (or the site in question) does not meet the 
XHTML 1.0 standard as it claims to in the source code.

I advise you write a letter to the owner of the site asking him/her to ensure cross browser compatibility 
by conforming to the XHTML 1.0 standard.

Messed up comment code is the problem, see this for example:
uk... <!--emo&::----><img src='style_emoticons/default/cry.gif' border='0'
style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cry.gif' /><!--endemo--><br />ta
The "--" is meant as the end of a comment, so "---->" gives problems.

Now, if the page was in quirks mode this wouldn't give problems, because then
Mozilla would correct it, but the page is in Standards compliance Mode.

The problems aren't completely to do with mangled comments I don't think, however they *are* to do 
with the document declaring itself as XHTML 1.0 Transitional when it is most certainly not. In fact, 
(http://www.indocg.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2122) alone generated one-hundred-and-six 
errors.

To make sure this site works, the site author/admin could do the following:
1)  Use Quirks mode.
2) Make his/her site HTML 4.01 Transitional and fix a few errors, like my tidied version at (http://
www.phillybob.co.uk/288854.html - NB: This page is not /completely/ compliant with 4.01, it was 
dirtily hacked into shape).
3) Fix all the errors in the current code and ensure the document is indeed compliant with XHTML 1.0.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
