the above code can be reduced to :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"

  <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
     <center>
   <table>
      <tr>
     <td><font face="verdana,helvetica,arial" size="+1">Current

     <td align="right" size="+2"><font face="lucida console,courier,courier

    </tr>
    <tr>
     <td><font face="verdana,helvetica,arial" size="+1">Total Blocks to

     <td align="right" size="+2"><font face="lucida console,courier,courier

    </tr>
    <tr>

     <td align="right" size="+2"><font face="lucida console,courier,courier

    </tr>
   </table>
   </table>
  </center>
  </body> 
</html>

The problems seems to be in the first "square" of the table. If you remove:
<tr>
 <td><font face="verdana,helvetica,arial" size="+1">Current Ranking:</font></td>
 <td align="right" size="+2"><font face="lucida console,courier,courier 
new">23,184 <font color="#009900">(<img src="/images/up.gif" alt="+">106)</font>
</tr>

then the display is ok

The HTML is invalid (unclosed FONT element), and this page triggers the
transitional DTD.  There's a bug all of those are being marked duplicate of...
