Topic: small problem with validation

Hopefully someone can help me with this. If I use any bbcode colors on my forum index which I use for news my site does not get validated. It basically tells me for example:

Value Error : color Magenta is not a color value : Magenta

. I am using one of my forums for the news but if I post a thread in any forum that does not display news, then the site gets a normal validation. Can someone please, please help me on this one.

Re: small problem with validation

Because of case-sensitivity?

Re: small problem with validation

Actually smartys it only works when I use the color one in the thread. Take a look and you'll see what I mean.
