My understanding if your situation: - you had a problem while browsing the 1Funny site The problem was, probably, caused by some "security software" installed on your computer - When trying to send feedback to the site administrators, you ran into another problem, and the error page for that problem had a "valid" icon leading to the W3C's validator site. While we unfortunately can't help you with the first problem, there is no reason to panic because you ended up on the validator site. We have a page that explains what happened to you: http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#clickedandlost Our service is used by authors of web pages to test their pages, and they can use the icon as a quick way to check the page again. As a user of the site, you should not worry about it. The W3C validator does not "think you are 1funny.com". As for your original problem with your computer and the 1funny site, maybe you could find a friend who could help you check your computer and its configuration, and find out which security software is blocking images and access to the site? Or you could just not use this site and find another... I am certain there are dozens of other "jokes" sites on the Web. Have a good day, -- olivier Thereaux - W3C
