Sounds like a bug you should report to the bug tracker?

That doesn't make it a bug? 🤔 If it's an issue that needs fixing then fixes are done through tickets in our tracker, not posts here or on Stackoverflow. Going through the posted links doesn't change that.

I thought that self closing tags were depreciated in HTML5 and were only allowed for older browsers.

That's what i also thought but it seems code validation as taken a turn check any website they all now fail even this one :lol:

It seems the times have moved on but phpbb has stood still joomla has pushed out a fix as i understand it.
