I don't really care as long as it has a working forum.

Also, it should be HTML 4. What the hell is XHTML about? You end the 
tags with a slash for no apperent reason., other than to be correct XML 
syntax.

XHTML is the the next version of HTML.  There is nothing wrong with it, 
there is absolutely no reason why we should stick to HTML 4 when current 
browsers support XHTML.

[Simon Cornelius P. Umacob]

"Why should I care if my document is in correct HTML? It displays all 
right on my browser.

All browsers know how to deal with correct HTML. However, if it is 
incorrect, the browser has to repair the document, and since not all 
browsers repair documents in the same way, this introduces differences, 
so that your document may look and work differently on different 
browsers. Since there are hundreds of different browsers, and more 
coming all the time (not only on PCs, but also on PDAs, mobile phones, 
televisions, printers, even refrigerators), it is impossible to test 
your document on every browser. If you use incorrect HTML and your 
document doesn't work on a particular browser, it is your fault; if you 
use correct HTML and it doesn't work, it is a bug in the browser."

XHTML is to correct the usage of HTML. XHTML is to contain the data, 
with little regard for how it is rendered, which is why you use CSS to 
make it pretty. HTML tried to do both jobs, not always with success.

Thanks for the responds.

But, please answer also my questions.

E.g.:
1) a
2) b
3) a

Currently the new homepage is in HTML 4.01 Transitional and XHTML 1.0
Transitional!

If you are using exotic browsers then please join the #reactos-hp on
freenode.net channel and read the channel topic first. There is also the
link to the beta test homepage.

I found a bug in the safari browser that was shipped with Mac OS X 10.4
(Tiger). But i do not know if this bug is already fixed, so please test the
homepage (especially "myReactOS" section).
The bug has nothing to do with the reactos homepage itself. It is a bug in
the browser! Wired, is the fact that konqueror (the big brother of the
safari) works fine with "server.com/?foo1=foo2" urls.

Please let me know, if safari does work with the latest update. (I do not
have access to a mac computer)

P.S.: I filled a bug entry on the official bug tracking system on the apple
dev homepage.
