Title: Script errors on this forum Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Script errors on this forum * [earther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earther/) * (@earther) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/) * I have gotten script errors on several pages of this forum. I suspect it has to do with the ads that are included on some of the pages. * The second bug is that I am getting a flash of unstyled content on the forum pages. This is a well documented bug that you can read about here [http://www.bluerobot.com/web/css/fouc.asp](http://www.bluerobot.com/web/css/fouc.asp) * Both these errors should really be fixed. 😉 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/page/2/?output_format=md) * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-277749) * I don’t see any errors here. Would you mind quoting some of the errors that you are seeing? Or, could you make a screenshot available for us to see? * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-277758) * You are using IE ? * Thread Starter [earther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earther/) * (@earther) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-277783) * Yes, I am using IE (please don’t tar and feather me). Here’s a screenshot of the error [http://www.eartherdesigns.com/ss/WPerror.gif](http://www.eartherdesigns.com/ss/WPerror.gif) * Another little bug is that the dark background of the RH column breaks badly on longer posts. It’s pretty unstable. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-277785) * Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > uncheck the two boxes near the top about script debugging. It really is nothing to worry about. * Any reason you don’t like Fiefox ? * Thread Starter [earther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earther/) * (@earther) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-277790) * I need to have the debugging feature ON and not going to reconfigure my browser every time I visit this site. It really shouldn’t be there. Please don’t make a coding/designer problem a user problem. 😉 * I test all my sites on ALL browsers including Firefox. The reason I use IE as my ‘working’ browser is because I’m on dialup with a download accelerator which only works with IE. Load times on Firefox are excruciating. * Thread Starter [earther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earther/) * (@earther) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278028) * Hmmm . . . script error and FOUC still there. Is this being looked into or are you just going to stick it to IE users in perpetuity? * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278029) * Maybe and perhaps for the same reasons no one bothers coding anymore for Mosaic 1. The MS browser is old (last version release in 2002), unsupported, noncompliant and a pain in the… and for those reasons anyone who relies on IE is really sticking it to themselves. * Maybe IE 7.0 will have the necessary bug fixes, though my IE 6.0 displays the forum just fine as long as I do not resize the browser window (and there are no script errors). * [Les Bessant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lesbessant/) * (@lesbessant) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278030) * I just loaded the forum in IE6 (all updates installed), and I don’t get any script errors. Don’t get the flash of unstyled content, either. * If there was a general problem with the forums and IE, I’m sure more people would have complained long ago. Does your download accelerator do any odd caching things? * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278031) * In IE 5.5 it’s ugly and commenters’ names not showed and the end of the lines overlapped by the sidebar but… that’s not new 🙂 * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278032) * IE 6 does show the commentor names but resizing the window causes them to jump left over the post, otherwise it is fine and with no script errors as I noted before. * Thread Starter [earther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earther/) * (@earther) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278033) * Cleared the cache. Makes no difference. Window is maximized at 1280 x 1024. Yes, IE is old, decrepit and is a royal pain. However, I am tied to it personally and professionally as most of the visitors to my sites use IE6 – over 80%. So I’ll be dealing with it for years to come. The FOUC (for about 2 sec) happens on the main forum pages like this one [http://wordpress.org/support/forum/7](http://wordpress.org/support/forum/7) and also with the edit function. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278036) * earther – what version of IE are you using, and I assume it’s a PC ? * Thread Starter [earther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earther/) * (@earther) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278037) * IE 6 on XP SP2 with all updates current. Here, see for yourself – [http://www.eartherdesigns.com/ss/fouc.gif](http://www.eartherdesigns.com/ss/fouc.gif) * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278038) * Odd. I just looked using IE6 on XP SP2 and I’m up-to-date as well, but I see no fouc. * Thread Starter [earther](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earther/) * (@earther) * [20 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/script-errors-on-this-forum/#post-278039) * If you are on high-speed connection, you probably won’t see it – it will go by very fast. I’m connected at 44k right now and yeah, it’s there bigtime.
