Broken validation email content

[PrimalSavage]

The section sign ( § ) in HTML is §

Issue may have something to do w/ the URL being translated to HTML. As suggested if you follow the link below, use &sect instead of &sect ?

Ampersands (&'s) in URLs

 

Another common error occurs when including a URL which contains an ampersand ("&"):

<!-- This is invalid! --> <a href="foo.cgi?chapter=1&section=2&copy=3&lang=en">...</a>

This example generates an error for "unknown entity section" because the "&" is assumed to begin an entity reference. Browsers often recover safely from this kind of error, but real problems do occur in some cases (...) And one old browser even finds the entity §, converting &section=2 to §ion=2."

To avoid problems with both validators and browsers, always use & in place of & when writing URLs in HTML:

<a href="foo.cgi?chapter=1&section=2&copy=3&lang=en">...</a>

(...)

After like two hours of ****** and rage I finally managed to create/validate/whatever my new account thanks to this thread (because my old account was closed or something because of 'inactivity' and I can't really remember e-mail for that account anymore). So again- thanks OP !
