Would be ok if your forum was looking good.

The skin is messed up viewing with Mozilla 1.5

Seriously... I made them myself and I have never had a complain before regarding them... what exactly is wrong?

Just downloaded and installed Mozilla. That's very odd... it doesn't load the backgrounds for the tables. I'll look into fixing this, but in the mean time I recommend that everyone look at this in IE.

Sorry for any inconveniences,

FYI: in Opera 7.21 it looks messed up too. Seems like you haven't coded valid html, but microslave specials.
In Coppermine, it's not called a skin, but a theme :wink:
If you do not want to fix it first to work with other browsers than IE, you can just copy & paste the html into a template.html file and adjust the stylesheet.css & theme.php. It's not a big deal. Start looking into the default theme, it'll give you an idea how to do that.

send your html through a validator like http://validator.w3.org/ (but keep in mind that it's very hard to write html that is absolutely standards compliant and works in every browser and looks beautiful).
You'll have to decide what gimmicks you need to work in every browser and what is only "nice to have".
If you're seriously into webdesign, you'll have to test your html on as many browser/OS combinations as possible (I'm afraid this is currently the way it has to be done; as long as there are so many users around using browsers that don't work well with standards you'll have to test a lot).
