[wp-forums] Sidebars and Widgets

[spencerp]

No matter how many times or who fixes themes, example "sidebar" issues and stuff, it won't matter, because people add extra stuff to their themes, either throwing it off, or just the way they post their threads, will mess it up too. 

I have already basically "fixed" the Default 1.5 for various problems here:

But if people aren't using the correct codes or whatever within posts, like you can see there at that thread above or here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/66063?replies=10

It's just going to be one big run around sigh..  I knew right off the fly, installing that revamped Default 1.5 theme of "mine" didn't give validation errors.. once again it was the "user's fault" .... =/
