Apparently the BBcode software generates invalid markup, or at least 
markup that is invalid according to HTML version tested against. Some of 
the errors are just things where the software vendor wants to use old 
markup that HTML specs (in this case HTML5) declare as invalid.

The markup looks really messy, and some of the errors are real problems 
(may cause inteoperativity issues). Finding out what they are about 
would take some time, and you probably still would not be able to 
persuade the software vendor to fix the bugs, or even admit that they 
are bugs, within any reasonable amount of time.

Consider searching for some more modern software for setting up a 
discussion forum, a blog, or whatever the purpose is.
