| I have set up my user profile for this website to display it much differently than the default. Mine was mostly black, with white text. However, since yesterday ( I assume since the validation has begun ) the colors are different. Mostly the main background of the page. See here for an example of what I mean:

| That particular jpg seems to show a black background.
Anyway, you are right, the fixing up of the HTML tags had a bit of side-effect with the background colour. It should be OK now. |

| Sorry, I meant the entire background, not just the background of the table cells. But yes, the background is working great. Only thing I've seen now is that the background for quotes is not being affected, and is showing the pinky/whitey/orangy background color. |

| I thought I had removed that different colour for the quotes. Is it still doing it? |

| Looks fine to me. Although the background looks odd now? Or is it just me? It's plain white. Is that normal? I always thought it was a light yellow. |

| I think I inadvertently changed it slightly. It is now #F5F5F5 which I think is a slightly darker colour. |

| It's looking better, at least it's closer to the old color scheme, but the new scheme isn't bad. |

| The cool thing is that if you go here:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gammon.com.au%2Fforum%2F%3Fbbsubject_id%3D6141%26page%3D1
It says:

Well, it does today anyway. :) |

| The only element I notice missing is the background graphic that gave the page that speckled look. Easy enough to fix in the CSS body tag, just add a directive like so specifying the proper graphic:
background-image: url(./images/linesbg.gif); | Top |

| Dunno what happened, but that speckled background has over-ridden the user preferences again, so for example I'm see the speckes surrounding the black-backgrounded table containing the reply text box and such, where the speckles should be a solid black color. |

| I have changed it so if you specify a custom body colour, it sets the background image to "none". That seems to fix it. |
