[Forum] CSS Validation Question

[Dangerboy3D]

Hi I've been meaning to ask about css validation a while back. With the new upgrades on version 4.10, I've had to revert a lot of templates from the custom version that our forum currently uses. The custom template was geared for 4.0.7 I believe which was confirmed with css validation http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/. I was under the impression that this is a best practices requirement for all websites to be verified with these services for both html and css. However, if I run this forum's url https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/, it shows that there are 459 css errors and 79 warnings. For html there is only 1 error.

My question ... Is css validation really all that important? If it is then why are so many registered with the base style for vbulletin?

Reason I am asking is because I personally did all the css validation corrections about a year ago and it was painfully long. I can see from running the validate now that I have 194 errors to address... that I'm not looking forward to.

CSS validation is not important. Just make sure your user gets the same experience on the major web browsers.

I agree that this seems to be a standard a lot of good websites are using. It's just really tough for a novice like myself to reach. Not sure what can be done about it but when updates are rolled out I seem to be running into the same problem when updating templates. I certainly will not deviate from an update because I have the highest confidence in the vbulletin staff and product. Still it would be nice to see that an update does not have such an impact on custom styles where a vast amount of changes that need to be revised after upgrade.

I don't suppose there is a method others used that makes this easy?
