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

It's not a bug html has changed the way it works if you took the time to click the link in the first post or read the other link i posted your find it changed over night all sites now fail.

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

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

I reported it as a bug, but don't know if it's that good?
