Validation code errors?

    Since installing the update, about every 2nd or 3rd time I click on validate I get something like this:

    Ads not found on http://www.sitename.com/phpbb/search.php
    Code (markup):
    sometimes with "?" followed by a member name attached to the end of the string.

    The actual URL for the account is http://www.sitename.com/phpbb/ and if I click a 2nd or 3rd time it validates okay.

    Yes. Everything else seems to be working fine. And as I said, after the 2nd or 3rd click it validates correctly. Just an odd error message since I've never actually even supplied that URL -- or the specific member name (it's always the same member name when it appears).

    The validator picks random pages within your site to make sure you have ads on all pages.

    oh... but they are in the site-wide footer so why would it only give the error on the search page?

    Mystery solved. It was an error in that search.php file -- my bad code, not yours :eek:
