Whenever I hover over some text on the forum it all gets underlined.

yea i noticed that at school, and i dont think the new topics thing for each board is working

Ok i have no idea why it is doing that in IE7. FF3 doesnt do that.... Anyone have any ideas?

ok one of my friends from school informed me the captcha doesnt work, removed it from the registration page. I am looking for one to replace it

I have the same problem where the text gets underlined. Also, whenever I respond to a topic the box where you type the text goes of the edge of the theme into whitespace.

Some tests I took on how the text is displayed:

Chrome- Makes text brighter
Opera- Nothing, but the text is bright anyway
Safari- Makes text brighter
FF3- Nothing, but the text is bright anyway
Netscape- Nothing, but the text is bright anyway
SeaMonkey- Nothing, but the text is bright anyway
IE 7- Makes text brighter and underlines
1E 8 Beta- Makes text brighter and underlines

I noticed that in both FF3 and IE 8, the text is displayed below the username,
and in all the other browsers it is displayed besides the username.
Tests based on what you see at http://eocms.com/forum/make-quote-smaller.16..html

Yes, it kind of does. I'll go back over all the HTML, if you want, but that'll take some time.

yes please that would be great  :grin:

Now that I'm faniliar with the code, I'll be able to start doing stuff, so expect some new desgins soon. 

w00t btw im nearly done with the permissions guys!!!! Just abit more code to edit then i will upload to latest version which includes plugins as well so you can test away for bugs. AND i know for a fact there will be bugs  B)

Cool! I can't wait to test it out....

I could do some designs too ! Or I could help with the PHP. Choose your poison

This still isnt fixed. Anyone know why it is doing this?

No but it all looks kosher on the PS3.

EDIT: I've stickyed this until it's solved. (which looks like it could be a while)

it is usually cause by a out of place </a> (ouside a previously closed tag) check the source (from the browser)

^  What Paul says is right, that's usually what happens.  But I don't see everything underlined.  Unless there's some inconsistency with the CSS itself, or some CSS that doesn't work on IE, I don't think it's just a missing </a>.  Because then I'd be seeing it as well.

I say, check your CSS as well.

as I would (but I'll check, its a render thing).

also note that starting ID's with numbers is a no-no (this just a reminder) as although it is "legal" its causes issues in some browsers (note that NAME also gets registered in some browser the same way ID does, this should not be the issue here though)

edit I suspect this is a hieracal css thing that only affects "modern" browsers that may or may not be related to your xhtml-transitional tag

(I get this sort of thing with positioning in IE7+ when using strict and certain settings)

solution:
you do NOT have a </a> for your <name=58> :
    </table><br class="clearfloat" />
<hr style="border:none; border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF; width:80%;" align="left" /><a name="59"/>

there is your "clearfloat", it is after the SECOND table, after which there should be a </a>

<a name> is a "wrapper" object.. so it must enclose other objects with structural and hieracal integrity

should look like the following
<a name=58><table ...
(1st table closed, second opened)
..</table><br class="clearfloat" /></a>
<hr ... ><a name=59>

thats using this post thread as an example

Well I've validated it, the only things it comes up with are errors about the
