W3 HTML Validation Errors - Duplicate Keys/Page Pagination

[sadams101]

Each topic in my forum that has more than one page, including topics on this forum (which is 4.6 right?), throws multiple html errors due to the page having two instances of the keys used in the pagination, which are displayed at both the top and bottom of the topic. They only way I could correct those errors was to remove this code from the forums > front > topics > topic template.

You can see it here:

and by the way, you've got 124 other errors and warnings on your 4.6 version, which is very bad for SEO...compare to:

Do you have plans to fix these and the many other errors I see in the 4.6 software?

Code removed:

{{if ( \count( $topic->commentMultimodActions() ) && ( $topic->posts > 1 OR $topic->mapped('unapproved_comments') > 0 OR $topic->mapped('hidden_comments') > 0 ) ) || $pagination}}

				<div class="ipsBox ipsResponsive_pull ipsPadding:half ipsClearfix ipsClear ipsMargin_bottom">
					{{if \count( $topic->commentMultimodActions() )}}
						<ul class="ipsButtonRow ipsPos_right ipsClearfix sm:ipsMargin_bottom:half">

								</ul>
							</li>

In addition - This error is registered by the HTML5 validator because two different div areas use a pagination template, which specifies only one elPagination ID, which is incorrect for the SEO.
