    Hello!
    Could you please add an empty “alt” attribute for “loading.gif” image in the template?
    Validator.w3.org throws this error:
    An img element must have an alt attribute, except under certain conditions.
    <img src="http://example.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-postratings/images/loading.gif" width="16" height="16" class="post-ratings-image" />

    It was removed because I got a lot of complains that google bots were caching the alt tag as Loading when they crawl their site. Between this and failing w3 validator, I chose failing validator.
