The <body> tag appears to be in the correct place for me.

Not for me. I see it after the header HTML is outputted.

Here's where the body tag should be, right after </head>
HTML:
<title>Mac Forums - View Single Post - Problem with 'view single post'</title>
</head>

<!-- added header and navbar / plugin required -->
<a name="top"></a>
<div id="mr_banner" >
 
It's been broken that way as long as I can remember, yet nobody has ever pointed it out before, so we thought we'd continue to get away with it.

I wonder if our site engineers will now feel pressured to fix it? 😱
 
status report

The website team plans to fix this long-standing bug.

FYI, the problem is in the Javascript for the drop-down menus, not from a misplaced <body> tag (which was fixed).
