We experiencing errors when we go to the w3c cssvalidation site
Any help would be apprectiated.
What errors? Errors is stupidly undescriptive.
I just need help in validating with "w3c validation"? I am getting 30 errors?
what is your forum url & which theme you are using as the default theme ?
for the w3c validation, 30 errors could be normal for a forum system [eg. see this]

The errors are due to your changes to the theme and the installed plugins. The validator also gives you clues on how to fix the errors.

You have

<style>
	.bam_announcement.yellow {
		background: #FFF6BF;
		border: 1px solid #FFD324;
	}

	.bam_announcement.green {
		background: #D6ECA6;
		border: 1px solid #8DC93E;
	}

	.bam_announcement.blue {
		background: #ADCBE7;
		border: 1px solid #0F5C8E;
	}

	.bam_announcement.red {
		background: #FBE3E4;
		border: 1px solid #A5161A;
	}

	.bam_announcement {
		-moz-border-radius: 5px;
		-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
		border-radius: 5px; 
		text-align: center;
		margin: 10px auto;
		padding: 8px 12px;
		background: #EBEBEB;
		color: #000000;
		border: 1px solid #ADADAD;
	}

	.bam_date {
		color: #636161;
		font-size: 0.78em;
		margin-left: 6px;
	}	

	/* Insert Custom CSS Here */
</style>

Should be

<style type="text/css">

And i believe all the other errors are complaining about a missing self closing tag on <img> tags. You should check the plugin file of Last poster Avatar to fix those.

Wherever you have <img src="..."> change them to <img src="..." />
